Hey, look, I can do that too.

It's called the Palette Knife filter. Anyone with at least Photoshop 7 can open up the picture, go to filter>artistic>palette knife and get the same results. My settings were: Stroke Size: 4, Stroke Detail: 3, Softness: 0.

Here's where the original image can be found:

You didn't even get rid of the gray stuff at the bottom. And the resolution is exactly the same.

Really, it's one thing to manipulate an image, it's another to slap on a filter and say you worked hard.

I'm pretty sure most of your other "drawings" are the same deal, but I've been having a hard time pinning down the exact filter and settings you used. The closest I've come is the Photocopy filter.

Funny thing is, I had the same thought. I've just never used photoshop, so wasn't familiar with the technique.

Be careful, boy. Where I mod stuff like this gets you banned.

*shrug* Hey, I'm not the one trying to pass a filter off as an actual oil painting.

Hey, if you'd bothered to read the rules, you'd know that plagiarism and back-chatting the moderators are no no's on these forums. I will not tolerate you attacking any of the moderators, especially when they are in the right. By doing what you did, you were asking for trouble, so don't get aggressive when you get what's coming to you. And Maeglin is right: that would get you in big trouble at most other forums. Consider yourself lucky that we go so lightly on you.

Desaturate, then use the Find Edges filter.

Between ridiculous threats (in Spanish or no), talking back, and double-posting, you are really not making any of us very sympathetic to your cause.

Well, no, no one's going to die, however that doesn't take away from the fact that what you've been doing is extremely dishonest, deceitful, and cheapens all the effort people put into their actual work. The only reason why you want us to drop it is because you don't want to deal with the repercussions of getting caught.

(By the way, this is what I accomplished with desaturating and Find Edges. It needs a little lightening, otherwise it's pretty close-- thanks, Wayward!)

I wouldn't necessarily go that far, but at the very least, not good for you.
