LionsDragon

@Seerose, I hardly know where to start! They all look...well, alive!

Hey @Rickhum! Good to see you!

Yes dear @Seerose, @DragonsLion is my darling husband! He's the Lion, I'm the Dragon. (It's an astrology reference--he's better at explaining it than I am. ) That's why my profile header is a lion hugging a red dragon in a leather jacket (red's my favorite color, and I have a leather jacket I wear every time the weather permits).

Beautiful as always, but um...your keyboard is looking a little waterlogged. Cute duck though!

Got it! This is a reproduction of a suncatcher that hung in my mother's living room window when I was a small child. (Unfortunately, it fell and broke one day while she was cleaning the windows.) Thanks, dearest @lynxster4, for the memory; I always loved this piece.

Well...thank you @BoltBait and @AndrewDavid both for your service! (And any other veterans here.)

Ah! That's perfect!

Oh @AndrewDavid, this is fantastic! It looks almost like a 3D puzzle.

Earl is looking stylish and sharp!

Oh my...Onward is chilling!

Oh that's fantastic! The lights land just perfectly!

Oh wow! This reminds me of the stair-climbing scene in the original Ghostbusters. I think that adorable little piggy needs an elevator! Honestly, my first thought was that it was a photo of stairs and you added the pig--and then I realized whose gallery I was in. All hail the king of woodgrain!

YES!! Thank you, @lynxster4! I know what my next project is going to be....

Ahhh! @xod, I love ya! I was literally trying to figure out how to do something like this earlier today.

@welshblue just put these in a palette, actually: Oh, and just in case: Then you can adjust the brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, or run plugins like Gradient Mapping or Metallize as you see fit.

You could also use @toe_head2001's Tartan plugin, and use only the horizontal lines. I used this just last night to create a pinstripe effect.

Trevor, this is definitely my favorite of your works so far. You'll think I'm joking, but I would seriously love to have a nebula in my hair the way she does. (It's a long story.)

OMG! It's perfect! Someone I knew growing up had something similar in the window, only in blue. Tutorial please?

Oooh...pulls you right into it!

@barbieq25, love the series title! I'm intrigued so far. "Primal Scream" really...I can feel the scream, if that makes sense?

My thoughts exactly, especially considering how the Lion and I decorate for the holidays. @Seerose, your work is magnificent!

Agreeing with @welshblue...I almost put my hands to the screen because it looked so warm! Fantastic work!

Tried again, making the stitch effect smaller for realism: You could also use things like TGMagnitude or Relief to amplify the texture.

Hello @KenM and welcome! I did come up with a way to create individual crochet stitches in Paint.Net and then turn them into a repeating pattern...let me tinker with this for a bit and see if I can get this to work as a texture for you. Edit: what do you think? I left the stitches deliberately large for visibility, but you'd want to make them smaller to make it more realistic. I can upload the mask and/or write a tutorial, if anyone's interested.

Beautiful! Looks like something in a boutique!
