It's nice to see somebody sharing his 'secrets'.
Your images always seem to have an overall 'look' to them (like some fancy filter or summit). For example, the knife above doesn't look just like a photo of a knife - it looks almost sketched.
Do you do anything in addition to the above?

yea, the real knife was about twice as long as that, simply fatten stuff up to get it looking to fit in the cartoon world, by editing it down short.

I think zak wants to know what it was.

the only filter i ever use is blur. But i will blow up an area and use the cloning tool at about 20 per cent to smooth out areas and take away the imperfections that keep it in the photograph feel. Realistic is ok, but the photo feel needs to be refined to give it an illustrated look.
