If you're using Photoshop, behind Blur tool is the sharpen tool, i like to use that to add sharpened "bits" instead of filter -> erase bits because you can edit the strength of the tool and get more control
what are you using?

Photoshop.

With Filter -> Sharpen, you can edit the strength aswell, click on "Image" and there's something you click (can't remember the name now lol) and you get a strength bar come up, so you can take the sharpness down to 50% or whatever, can also change blending of the layer there, to overlay/multiply/color etc.

I've seen tutorials for the first two!

I tried the first one but couldn't work out how to do it on Photoplus.

Anyway, they're very nice and I especially like your own one.

So, this was what came out of my productive weekend!



Comments on them would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Please click on mine...it's much better quality really!

It was a mix of Romeo and Juliet (you'll NEVER guess where that came from )
and then, those are just the characters i prefer out of Lehrman's version.
Tybalt kicks ***.
Plus i thought it interesting Lost's "Michel" played Mercutio, who was characterised as a cross dresser
