I absolutely love the orange one mate. Make sure when your finished it is wallpaper size.*hint* Preferably 1366x768 *hint*. I will totally rock that on my desktop. It is already looking like a winner and i can't wait to see the finished image.
Thank you all for the kind words. I greatly appreciate it. I have been in an abstract mood lately and fueled by system of a down i came up with an abstract. I hope you guys enjoy.
thanks for all the comments people . I am still working out how to use twist to its full potential but i will get there. Posted a new image that i was just testing trail on.
you have some good tag work here mate. I would suggest organizing images into one post with hide tags and setting up categories. A streamlined gallery will attract more people. Also to avoid getting in trouble for bumping you can wait a bit to respond to someones comment . I tend to do that a lot in my gallery lol.
As other's have said don't be discouraged and keep up the great work mate.
Thanks a lot mate. The aliasing in the thumbs is due to how much they are compressed on this forum. I used the new thumb tag here which is a great thing to have.
you probably wouldn't believe it but i didn't use smudge at all on this. I used pyrochild's two new plugins trail and twist to make maelstrom. His new twist plugin is just spectacular along with trail.
Thank you for you comment on maelstrom barbie. I got bored so i took it further lol...
