Default Wwyd #100

---------------------



- Extracted (separated) the subject from the background.
- Desaturated.
- Made a dramatic threshold.
- Applied Gaussian Blur.
- Turned everything into grayscale.
- "Bitmapped" @ 300 pixels.
- Applied halftone screen (Frequency: 14, Angle: 45, Shape: Round) on the bitmap to obtain the dots.
- Changed everything unto grayscale again, then back to RGB.
- Duplicated the first layer, created Clipping Paths between layers.
- Filled (Paint Bucket) the different layers according to the colors i wanted.
- Added the Gradient background and the line (Without it, the background seemed boring)
- Added the comic-style thought bubble and alight white frame

- And voila!!!
