This knew engraving technique (I call dynamic engraving) came about from creating my voronoi stipple renders. I did apply a more regular engraving technique for the background but it too is a bit different from the one used my G’MIC (though I ran the result through G’MIC’s Engrave for a better looking result).
Would make a good woodcut print, paperdigits. Not sure why the hirez link from flickr doesn’t show up here, but maybe if you click here, you can see if (for what it’s worth).
@lylejk Impressive patterns! The second one looks like embroidery. The source image is certainly eye catching and great for this showcase . I wonder how it these effects would fare on other types of images.
