Image Umbrella: Abstract Images

[gollum902]

Here's mine. I made another but it won't upload onto tinypic.com and you can't export with PDN(that i know of)

"Some abstract" ...mmmmhhh, quick mental browse to find a title...here!: Doughnut Sun

Editing to add a new one, Pixieland (cause I made it mostly with new pixel+ by Pyro - and thanks to Pyro for all his wonderful plug-ins!)

[LFC4EVER]

Nice stuff topezia! i love the name of the first one. "Doughnut Sun" lol

Pixel land is a good piece too, i like how some of the gradient background colours shine onto the city scape.

I don't like the tile reflection on there.

I don't like the tile reflection on there.

It was just a try, thanks for the feedback :wink:

[topezia]

This one has such an infinity of possible choices (between blending modes and/or adding subtracting layers) which I actually do not know which one looks better (or if the all bunch sucks... :? ): Any suggestions, please?

Forgot to add a title: "De Chirico, more or less... "

[Blooper]

The third one top to bottom I'd say, just because the brown is nicer.

[topezia]

Yeah, thanks Blooper that's the one I like too, although I am not satisfied with the left bottom corner, I wanted to give some perspective outhere like some marble steps or a pillar, do not know, as for making steps I'll have to check tutorials to see how I can do it (I got something similar to a flight of stairs once using rotate/zoom tool with tiling but what I need there is just 2 or 3 deep step, so :? )

Insanely good, Topezia, keep it up!

Here's a piece that I just finished, it's a combination of bars, ink sketch, and film. I think it looks kind of retro, with the bars, and the colors...

[topezia]

That's cool, Livewrong but what I like most is the shadowed background, why not give a try with that one only (of course if you did not flattered all the layers already )

Mother's day is approaching and we have a proverb (from Naples) that says "Ogni scarrafone è bell’ a mamm’ soja " which, translated is more or less "Every cockroach is a beauty for his mom" so I made up this image just for fun:

Shall I need to say that the bunch of roses is a stock ? And the frame comes from share your paint-net brushes but I regret I don't recall the name of the donor

Ciao ciao

Nice aguba. Its like neony.

I've been seeing a lot of the Ultimate Brush Pack lately ... :!:

Yeah... It's nice aguba, but it's basically like using copy paste on a gradient...

[aguba]

Yes...but it looks cool.

[livewrong811]

@Topezia-Err, that was only one layer. I just used bars, anchored at the bottom, and then the top, and then I changed the colors, got rid of the white space, and did the Film effect. It was all random, playing it by eye. I go for simplistic abstract pieces, I suppose.

Aguba, that rocks!

I am posting too often here, I'll have to take a rest I suppose , but that's my "creative" period, here is the wonderful world of 3d, rotating layers, changing layers blend modes, drosting and adding a bit of kaleidoscoping ... (that's the title)

Excellent, I love it the abstract image, but I don't think the frame is doing it any favours; the red doesn't enhance the image (IMO).

I would have framed it quite differently (I hope you don't mind me messing with your image, but it's just for demonstration purposes)...

I simply fill the frame area, on a new layer, black and set the transparency to 128%. Then on another layer, select the area inside the frame, set your primary and secondary colours to White, Effects > Render > Bevel: Depth 2, Strength 20 - I then set the blending mode of this layer to Overlay.

Anyway, as I said, the abstract itself is stunning - great work.

Yes...but it looks cool.

Best. Response. Evar.

[topezia]

Wow cjmcguinness, Thanks! That coming from you would deserve my happy dance again but I am presently too tired to move a limb . No I do not mind at all, I always enjoy feedback and advices, yes black definitely gives more dramaticity ( :?: ) to the picture. May be you enlarged a bit the image before all the steps? I like the transparency of your black frame where you can see through the image but I gave a quick try following your steps and all I got was transparency with my old frame showing off again in an awful blackish/reddish :? Oh, never mind I can always put a new black frame and try again,

heres a something i wacked up last night.....so simple its just 2 gradients, Xor, curves, and tiles. I like the text the best though

Hope you like
