Good morning to everyone. I'm new to computer graphics and image editing. I installed Paint.NET about a month ago and I found it very simple and powerful, so I started playing with it.
This is by now my best work. I'm quite satified with it.
It is 100% pdn.
The wood surface was done with: Noise, Motion Blur, Polar Inversion, Relief, Rotate/Zoom.
The eyeballs with: Clouds, Zoom Blur, Brightness/Contrast, Ellipse, Gaussian Blur, Shape3D.
The light/shadow effects with: Gradient, Ellipse, Gaussian Blur, Primary Color Difference to -Alpha.
At the end, Flatten and Soften Portrait.
I made also my own moon:
I used only Clouds, Sparkles, and Shape3D.
I hope you will like my work.
Bye,
Pyjo.
