[C-Ray's Gallery]

I'm back! I promise, no one had ran me away from here. I've just been busy with life and trying to get a job (easier said than done in my area). But enough about my struggles...here's some stuff I've recently done. 
 

I redid the Eve Torres-Gracie as Wonder Woman photo manip and took MJW's advice on using Surface Blur (and made a few more visual modifications) and loved this one far better than the original one I posted. 

 

 

And I took a PNG of The Wyatt Family, combined it with a destroyed town background, and made some cool modificaitons (Sharpen, Oil Painting, among others) and knocked this one out of the park, IMHO.

The plug-in isn't there anymore. I tried to download it and it gave me a "Failed-network error" message.

Thank you everyone! The only regret about this program is that I didn't find out about this sooner! LOL.

I will definitely keep that in mind and will try it out. Thanks for the tip!

 

This photo I wanted to make a "comic-book" like as possible:

 

 

And this photo, I wanted to take a "darker" approach on it, when compared to the original:

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I will definitely be adding more on here as time goes on. 

 

I'm not that good with manips (yet), but I couldn't pass doing one up in regards to Eve Torres and Wonder Woman. It could be better, but it's not too shabby for my first try, though!

I'm far from an expert so my work will look tame compared to everyone else's here, but I'd thought I would share some of my work here.

Thanks for the tip. I will check on that and see it if makes a difference. Thank you!

[My first attempt at a PNG]

Hello everyone!

I've only had Paint.net for a couple of days (literally) and I absolutely love it. I hope to use this quite a bit soon, but I decided to play around with it and create my first PNG image. The subject I used is of retired figure bodybuilder (and good friend of mine) Christine Pomponio-Pate. I'm very amateur, so my first attempt is far from perfect.

I hope this is the place to ask for advice, but for those that know how to clean up PNGs, I'd would appreciate it greatly. Thank you!
