well i am very happy of my 2 gmic filters, soon must be ready a new version (with possibility to control opacity when merging )
I had some fun testing different combinations, a lot of possibilities leading to very different results but all with something in commune...a graphic boost

Only change with the original ,before editing with gmic, was a tweak to hue and saturation to get more reddish colours

I noticed that sort of pixelation with default setting you got at your first try
i will modify the default, that pixelation is easy to avoid (just raising a bit the complessive or the pencil smoothing ) but i will search a different default
