it took you two hours to apply a posterisation filter?

No.

This is a vector, taking at the general colors of an image and breaking them down to seem less busy and more relaxed.  I understand why you think it is just posterized.

Read that for a better definition.

This is an example

If you concentrate really really hard on an imaginary point behind the picture, you'll be rewarded with a 3D depiction of Robin Williams having his way with a beagle in a Billy Crystal mask.

Looks like a paint by numbers thing using grey tones.

Not much of a African Americans are special status Americans guy so MLK does nothing for me.

Anyway, has a cool look to it.

I don't expect you to understand excatly how to do these and all the steps.  Of course there are ways to half bellybutton it.  I took the time with the original image to map out each section.  When I get home I will pm u with the .psd file so you can see for your self.

Lute look closer at yours then look back at mine, if you do not see why it is not posterization we have a problem.

"plagiarized and doctoral" in that order.  But what does that have to do with a digitized photo Weazely posted?

I understand fully how to use the path tool to create "vector art".

You had to posterize to get it started (or at some point early on).  After that i'm sure you spent many hours mapping the edges and tweaking it, but to say you DIDN'T posterize is flat out incorrect.  More accurate would be you didn't "just" posterize it.

He could have chosen a myriad of subjects....MLK is not the best art subject to cover if avoiding controversy is your thing.   Anway, he chose it and posted it and I expressed my critique....if you dont care for it, or my thoughts on the larger subject....well you can guess quite purely that I could not care any less than I currently do.

As for sentence structure, or the structure with which the building of comprehendable meanings, and or intent thereof, or perhaps a singular wish to convey a secondary or perpindicular train of thought, or perhaps the urge to map out the global mind collectively...or some such similar, I trust you have a brain capable of figuring out what other people want you to think, fear not using it from time to time  :lol
