This post is a combination of two things which happened today:
1) I told someone that being able to change white balance on a digital camera feels like cheating and they disagreed.
2) I wanted to know how to make pictures of people look drawn for a work project (like the pictures of the athletes you see during the X-Games broadcasts).
So, I decided to cheat and alter a picture using software and see how it turned out. If you click the second picture, you can get a larger look at how much it's changed.

After:
an experiment (and Monday bonus)

That's a really neat effect! Very stylized. I don't think that's cheating if you have a specific effect or purpose in mind.
I just hope people realize there's another post from earlier today that's below this.
