david.atwell Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Image Umbrella: Realistic Images Things to keep in mind: - Try not to post your image right after another user's. Allow some time for people to reply (or give an opinion yourself!) - Utilize constructive criticism. Being mean is not welcome or tolerated. - Try for criticism that's more helpful than "looks good" - say why. Say what works, say what can be improved. It'll make everyone's skills better (including yours)! - By the same token, keep the rules in mind. They will be enforced here just as much as anywhere else. Now, put Leonardo da Vinci to shame! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmcguinness Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) This is probably my favourite and most accomplished piece of art, to date. I later adapted it for use in my signature and avatar. If anyone is interested in how this was created, please read the tutorial Edited October 4, 2010 by cjmcguinness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 St. Jim good one we had a television looked almost like this when I was a child. you forgot the rabbit ears though . they were the absolute must for reception. this is an older one from my files. it was the first picture of a real person I did in paint.net Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolicus Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Here's an antique Television set I made...WOW! Diabolicus nice planet? Look great! My T.V set! Thanks I am new with planets, but I'm starting to work with them more. Looks great Oma! I think I remember seeing that from before.

k.digennaro Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I guess this is the umbrella this goes in. I drew this up for a possible logo for my band, the drawing is pretty basic. The firey eyeball kinda thing was livewrong's idea. The fire i used from the fire tut, the eye ball was basically the eye tut with a little of my own touch, and the dragon i drew. not much to it, but i thought it looked okay.

St.Jim Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks for the reply - nice marble effect and oma - I'm sure that your picture looks better than the real Gordon Brown anyday! Nice band logo I think it needs a little feathering: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22819&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=feather This will make the edges a bit more smooth and natural. Here's annother one I made: (Guess what film I just watched?) P.S I was having trouble with uploading - so thats why my post is below yours.

worldnewser Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 @St. Jim---Nice! Is that a use of bulge? (I don't think so, I think it's like a small negative polar inversion maybe?) @K. DIgennaro---Great logo. Watch your aliasing Of course, you could use the waves plugin to distort the orange ball in the background, and that would make the edges more anti-aliased :wink: Happy Easter! I'm really proud of the dirt and the sunny bg in this pic. Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jim Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah! That easter pic looks great! I could easily see it on one of those special cards and I would definately buy it. The background (sunrise type thing) looks realy nice I used a blue tinted matrix type image (like the green one i made) and tiled it on max settings - was originally supposed to be tiled (but was too small) still, it looks good.

Helio Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 @CJ: Stunning... I would have to agree! @St.Jim: You could use the Antiquing tutorial for the screen... --- Now, for some spacescapes... 100% Paint.NET, save the photograph, which is from sxc.hu. Note that terrain in these last two pieces was rendered in Terragen, and minor brushwork was added in the GIMP. Also can be viewed in my gallery.

worldnewser Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 @Topezia---Nice Work! You used the gravity plugin, right? I've used that a few times, but I could never get my textures to look right. Your texture is actually quite good, because it gives it depth (And makes it look like you've got foliage in it). I finally made a good piece using nothing more than basic tools and no effects. Used the tut for the airbrush technique. I now present: Realistic Clouds 8) Look closely! You might see a whale. (...or a car.

topezia Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 @worldnewuser: You're right: gravity plug-in with a lucky coincidence of right colors. Those bunch of clouds are neat, look really realistic! @Oma: Thanks!
