I seem to be noticing a faster performance in the new version, at least on my computer and concerning the filters I use the most. Many thanks for all the effort, @null54 🖐👍

Nicely cartoony!

Thank you, @ReMake. I very much appreciate all messages. You've all been too kind ❤️️

Thank you, @Djisves

Thank you, Red.

Thank you, @Pixey ❤️️

Although I completely understand the reasons behind the cancellation of the competition, I can't help feeling very sad about it in many ways. The signature contests encouraged me to learn a lot when I was a PdN novice, and I stopped participating nearly a year ago only because it was around the time when my dad's health began to decline faster than before, so I've been mostly caregiving for him and therefore unable to do much art. This time I had however managed to finish a couple portraits and convert them into signatures I was going to share last week, but then on Thursday last week his decline got even worse and lastly passed away on Sunday morning after nearly 25 years with Parkinson's. Despite everything, I want to share here the pieces I had made, just to prove that this time I had actually managed to complete something. But I like I said above, I understand it makes no sense to keep a contest running when there's such a little participation, which nonetheless brings me down anyway.

First of all, greetings to all 🖐🙂 I almost had an entry for this contest, but life and its chores keep pushing me away from completing any art 🙄 Anyway, I hope I can make it to the next round 🦉

They all look so enlightening I can't help loving each, as they all look capable of a lightbulb moment

Many congrats and greetings! Everything looking abstract!

Glad to see it's all solved 🖐🙂

What a curious phenomenon, the download link appears to still work on my end 🤔 Let me know if anyone wants the zip and can't download it from the original thread 🖐🙂

On a second read to your question, I'm guessing you probably need either Object Shadow or Object Shadow 3D, which are part of BoltBait's plugin pack (you can find their descriptions in the first post):

@Ellie Amore Take a look at the Shadow effect, under the Effects menu (Object submenu). Make sure to download the latest zip, which is version 1.3, and unzip it to the Effects folder.

@lynxster4 I sadly finished it by the time the competition was already closed 😔 But I'm nonetheless glad you both like it 🖐🙂💖
