Thanks fellows user added image

As you noticed I started to use CPS v3.5 user added image

and I have to tell you, it's a great plugin!!!
I have to mention that this is my first plugin, because I never used one until now.
Caligraphics recommended me the CPS…thanks Cali user added image

Mike, who’s Ray Romano? And yap I have bushy eyebrows and I’ll put them on the cartoon.
Because it’s a cartoon some elements like eyebrows, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth will be emphasized user added image

because those are who represents me, or in generally a person, more… user added image

El_Newty: Ray Ramano is a famous comedian here in the States. You may have heard his voice in the movie Ice Age, he played the role of Manfred the wooly mammoth.
You really do look like you could be his brother or something....I get that this was probably a complement from Mike as Ramano is a very likeable guy. (his TV show is called "Everybody Loves Ramond")
I agree with the big eyebrow thing too. Can't wait to see more
