Looking good Peter, I like the gloss, and the whole piece has really clean lines. I'm impressed - very good job.

Haha, nice idea. I would radial blur the lollipop itself just a tad (enough to make the jagged edges go away). Making it 3D might be interesting too. You could have it by like a cylinder using Shape 3D Plugin or Motion Blur.

I love the new Avatar LFC, it looks so shiny and professional. Is it 100% PDN? If so, absolutely great job. If not, hey, it's still a great concept.

I see NatGeo is continually being used Very good Manip, Mike, I like it and think it would also look good on a larger scale.

With this you can almost make pen stroke effects! (As in: Sensitivity) Thank you!

So much fantastic artwork HELEN!! I had no idea! I love especially your glossy heart. Those gradients are placed soo well. Excellent, excellent gallery!

Looks very nice Madjik, thank you. UI is a bit massive, but it's a pretty massive plugin. This will help to render some fractals in paint.net. I will try it out as soon as I get back to my PC.

In the future, if you wan't a cleaner cut, so that your cut-out isn't sloppy, it would be wise to follow this tutorial. If you would really like to get a nice cut, at professional grade, I would suggest you follow this tutorial, which requires this plugin. If you need help installing plugins, refer to here.

Juraiko - really like your grunge - blood splatter is good, but I think what really sells it is the background - very good lighting, looks realistic.

Awesome work everyone! Especially these last two posted, excellent job!

I like those, excellent job on the first cout out (if you did actually cut it out) The animation looks great, I hadn't thought of using that effect like that. Very cool effects on the first big one - looks great. I wish i could see this last one better, seems the link is broken... From what I can see it looks good as well. Good job overall, things are looking well, keep it up!

Your new sig set rocks man! [seriously] Been waiting for something like this to show up.

Great plugin, I'll try it out as soon as I can. Looks very promising for spicing up pictures.

I'm sorry, I was referring to yellowman I believe he made his version with some kind of morphing software. I'd like to know if it's freeware. But this is all a bit offtopic... so...

What program did you use to make that?

Excellent work on the HDR Jake! That looks fantastic! I like your version better than Photomatix's. Storm.Shadow- Manip looks good- I wouls harpen up the moon a bit, and make the clouds fade as they get over the trees - looks a bit unnatural. Good job overall, though.

The effects around the player are wonderful! Really fantastic! (If PDN) Good overall blending - colors are good too.

The person stealing it doesn't want the no rip sign intruding on the work itself, however. @Minoeman: I have a fast connection so I wouldn't know :oops:

Good outcome Minoeman, though like Curmudgeon pointed out, people with slow connections are gonna have trouble with the picture. I would re-upload it as a .jpg

Very cool - the distort achieves the same effect as blurring and sharpening - it brings out the focal. I like

NatGeo is an excellent source of copyrighted material. Good job on the sig Jyro

I like the new signature set Oma - very shiny! And nice and sharp too.

Your orb looks good, though each user is only allowed one thread in the Pictorium. I would move this picture over to your other thread.

There's hard lighting in the background, and not so much with the render- I would add a shadow to make it all blend a bit more. (A shadow underneath the player, that is) Good job

Try out the Alpha Mask plugin. If you create a white and black image, with white being what you want to keep, anf black being what you get rid of, you can achieve an effect similar to the "cookie cut" you're looking for. Here's the plugin you'll need: Alpha Mask Hope I am of help, Nab
