@VagabondiThank you for your comment, glad it was worth the effort. @lynxster4 Thanks, that shading is the death of me honestly. New image titled Time Manipulation. Just a little something I made on my lunch break a while ago. Hope you enjoy!

Wow, some amazing art here! I especially liked the stop watch and the dart board. I look forward to seeing the updated dart board with a dart in it. I've been intrigued with realistic art for a while and love seeing other techniques. I have also tried some of my own, but still feel like I'm missing something. What's your take on it?

@lynxster4Thank you, I thought that color palette was a good one, so I just went with it. @Pixey Thank you for your nice comments and the rep! @Manc Thank you for stopping by! New image, Grandma Rocket from the show Little Einsteins, which was requested on my Facebook page to make.

@lynxster4Thank you very much for your comment! I did work really hard to make it as spot on as I could, so thank you. @Manc Thanks, took a while to get it right. @Pixey Indeed I am on a roll. These take longer than my regular abstracts, but the end results are very satisfying. Thank you! @Ladybug You know, I was thinking of doing a Darth Vader helmet as my next helmet project. Thank you for the suggestion too! Here is another abstract that I made while listening to Lioness by Daughtry. The colors are actually inspired by Daughtry's Dearly Beloved album artwork color scheme. I call this one Cosmic Gem.

That is a really well made glass apple @Pixey. It almost looks like a stained glass work that someone made as a project that you can hang from a string. Very well done!

I had to scroll through this page to see all of your art, and it's all amazing! I especially loved the images in Unplugged, and it really was amazing to see what Paint.NET can do without plugins. Fantastic work!

Thank you @Pixey for your kind words. Seems my hard work paid off on these! Thanks @lynxster4 I do like my abstracts as they seem very therapeutic, but these were a bit more fun to make. Thank you @Ladybug I got the colors right with some gradients of black for the shading. New update, Mandalorian Helmet on the first page. Here's a link though to Imgur since it seems to be working now.

Great additions to your gallery! Love the Christmas ornaments since it reminds me of the tree my parents put up with all of the glass ornaments. Well done!

Love the simplicity of the Christmas image. Really brings out the spirit of this time of year! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I can’t believe I missed your Halloween image. Very spooky and cozy for sure. I also love the elegance of the Christmas one, almost looks like a professional Christmas card!

Thank you @Manc, @Pixey, @lynxster4, @LionsDragon, and @Ladybug for your kind words and comments, I appreciate it a lot. Two new images this time. I have Rocket and Big Jet from Little Einsteins, which is a bit of a new territory for me. Check them out on the first page.

Thank you @Manc I appreciate your words and that you passed by. New image as a tribute to my late grandma, who passed away the day after Thanksgiving.

Thank you @lynxster4, I’m glad you like my abstracts! I try to keep things interesting, but sometimes I can’t seem to come up with something new. Hopefully I can keep it up though. Thank you for your kind words @Pixey. I actually don’t know what effect that is. I use a combination of Gaussian Blur, Dents, Radial Blur, and TR’s Radial Extruder for both Ocean’s Eye and Wild Fire.

I’m sorry to hear of your injuries, I hope the healing process is going smoothly! On a different note, that vase looks awesome! You did a great job with the tutorial!

Wow! Love the texture in the image and the shine that it has. The colors work well too and I love the glow, just adds an extra oomph to the image.
