see through Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey guys. This is my first post on these forums. so i thought it would be good if i was to show off a peice of my work. ^^^ ^^^ I am very happy with that. My steps on how to make it. 1. once you have a new canvas open you can start getting some of your favourite coulers at the ready. I used red first. Get a fairly thick paint brush and start doing swirls at your hearts desire, go through the middle a few times. 2. Go to Effects>Distort>Swirl and set it over the middle of the circle. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if you like, i did it twice. 3. make a new layer and select a colour the same as one of the swirls, select a gradient of your choice and fill just under half the page. set tranceperancy to your liking and repeat with another colour. now just merge them and you can go on from there.

Max Power Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Try messing around with blending modes to get even cooler effects. Hope to see more of you in future Quote - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Ooh - I love gruesome titles for abstracts -- The second one is awesome - reminds of me of the nano suit on Crysis.

ZizOiz Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I like it, especially the way it seems to recoil from its most twisted point!

k.digennaro Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I dont go into the tut section very often, but i happened to look at madjiks abstract tut, I didnt follow it exactly, but i used the 2 tone gradient and polar inversion concept. I came up with this, about 3 mins work. Looks pretty cool. Quote Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.digennaro Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Here's one I did, its like 60% PDN, I used terragen to create a landscape, then I used dents on it. I saw this particular part that looked like an eagle, I took it feathered it added some blending and came up with this . Enjoy!

pyjo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 While working on my skin texture I found this strange effect. It looks like colorful clouds. It is made up only of noise and median, adjusted with hue/saturation. Maybe it can be useful for abstract pictures? Bye, Pyjo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Expiration- Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Actually, Blooper used the Noise and Median technique in his How to Make Grunge Brushes community tutorial. It reminds me of the plasma effect from GIMP (I think). Quote Call me expired. Please.

Blooper Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Actually, Blooper used the Noise and Median technique in his How to Make Grunge Brushes community tutorial. It reminds me of the plasma effect from GIMP (I think). That's actually how I thought of it. Read a ton of tutorials for making brushes, found that plasma and contrast one, and I used that method.

worldnewser Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 @Janettsue--Cool Makes me think "confetti twist" XD Anyway I made some abstracts. The first two are two different versions, but use the same theme. I call them "Rainbow Road" ver. 1 and 2 (Kinda like the Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart series): ^I like this one^ Then I made a "round" something using InsideOut: Quote  deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livewrong811 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 WorldNewser, you're great at abstract pieces. I really like those two, because they have a rather definite shape--I don't like formless abstract pieces. Here's something that started as a bunch of random scribbles in different colors, and ended up as a test piece for almost all of the new plugins that I picked up today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janettsue Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 worldnewser those are wonderful livewrong811 it is great fun playing with the plugins Quote  "One can't complain. I have my friends. Someone spoke to me only yesterday." EEYORE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
