How this is made?

I had a FB commercial from daz3d and I want to know what filter is used for the image? Or something similar to achieve something like this.

    that looks like a background image as the drops are not on the figure

    was likely done in a 2D image editor, GMIC which has a Gimp plugin has a filter like that

    What specifically is it about that image that you're trying to recreate?

    I agree with Wendy, it looks to me like she's been shot on a transparent background. See how the ends of the hair on the right side of her head are lighter than the background.

    Maybe a filter has been applied to the rendered image, maybe just some playing around with the levels. Hard to tell at that size.

    The background is a stock image of drips on glass, probably with the blue color added after.

    Then a vignette effect has been applied to the whole thing to get the darkening around the edges.

    That would be my guess, but you could ask the original artist here: https://www.renderhub.com/gallery/3823/unique-custom-character

    Sorry, I meant the woman. That cartoonISH look. Usually, my render a bit 'oily' or the faces are too generic, while this one has a bit more cartoon colors and you can see the age marks on it.

    If there was a way to up vote this, I would. I really like this question.

    Uhhhhh... Cartoon filter in GIMP/PhotoShop? :-D

    I would use multiple layers. A Cartoon layer, obviously, which emphasizes the heavy black lines. An Oilify layer (oil painting effect) to get the (surprise) painted effect. And the base layer. All of these at different opacity/strengths. You may also want to erase sections where you don't want cartoon or oilify or whatever. The point is to blend it into the effect that you want.

    You may want a desaturated layer. You likely will need some color correction work because you ALWAYS should adjust tone and color on photos, IMO.

    Just take it into GIMP (or Photoshop) and play. That's the best way to do it.

    It's never occured to me to use different filters on different layers and alter the opacity in GIMP. Definately going to give that a try! Cheers.

    I sometimes use several different layers with different filter effects at different opacities. These were done using filters and have a similar look.

    Nice pics.

    I've loaded my picture as a few layers in Gimp, but for some reason when I apply a filter to a layer I can't switch to the other layers, even though I click on them in the layers menu box. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid.
