  1. BREAKING NEWS ... Kieran Gibbs has been found guilty in the Oscar Pistorious trial ...  :P

     

    And he has been given a SIX years, SIX month, SIX day  sentence! :lol:

     

    At least I got some decent points in my Fantasy Footy. Maybe Wenger should stick to that.

     

     

    Thanks for popping in johnnysdream. Glad you like my stuff. ;)

  2. Great job, Goon.  I think it could look like a printed circuit board.  Try to see some sample images on the internet and I think you will get it.

     

    Thanks Trev. My thoughts entirely. I have already been browsing images of circuit boards for ideas and have started on making mine into one. Slow going at the moment though.

     

    Nice work Seerose. ;)

  3. Good grief this is from 6 years ago! Have I really been here all that time? As to your question, if the link would have taken you to a different forum back then I would have mentioned it.

     

    Back then the PDN Forum was very different, and that link did take you to a tutorial on the forum. But it has been upgraded a lot since then and a lot of tutorials have been removed along the way. When I click on this link now  I do get taken to a forumer forum but get told that the `the requested topic does not exist' so that was probably one of them.

  4. Ain't that the truth ... although there's something to be said for rubber walls and jackets that keep your posture straight  :P

     

    Can`t think of an answer to that!   :D

     

     

    Spot on skullbonz, thats just what I did. Interesting suggestion about dents and wobble. Thanks for the tip. ;)

     

    Dryda I do know what you mean about  the solar flares it is a nice idea. Need some practice with the smudge tool though. As to the busier background ,the brightness of the sun drowns out any background stars so adding them would not really be realistic. If I was showing the sun from a distance then yes but not in a close up like this. I have looked at reference photos on Google Images and none of them show stars, just blackness. 

     

    Glad you like the texture. It was one of those stumble upon moments where you are just doodling and bingo! Up pops a nice looking texture . I used the colour picker on a photo to try to get the colours right.

     

    You got me interested so I did a search on the forum for the tut you were talking about. Is this the one? - http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/17644-sun-tutorial/

     

    You are right about the similarity to mine. It might come in handy so I have bookmarked it for the future.

     

    Thanks everyone for the comments and ideas. Much appreciated. ;)

  5. Thanks skullbonz. I might have a play around with the file , see if I can make some decent solar flares. The image is called Transit because the black spot in front of the sun is Mercury (or it could be Venus if you prefer.) When either one passes in front of the sun like this it is referred as a transit.

    Here`s some more info if your`re interested -   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_transit

     

     

    Thanks Pixey, of course you are right about it being a planet. From on Earth it could only be either of the planets mentioned. Maybe it could do with a small amount of blurring, but it depends if it is Mercury or Venus really. Mercury has no atmosphere whereas as Venus does. So on that basis I think I will refer to the planet as Mercury.

     

     

    Thanks Daniels, realistic space scenes have always been my faves.

     

     

    Welshy you are more likely to a man in a white coat! :lol:

     

    I`m sure any spacescape of yours will be excellent, I look forward to seeing it.

     

    I must admit it is nice to be posting again, although I`m busy busy at work at the moment with the start of the new season and all that so I  try to fit PDN in where I can but it means there won`t be too many pics for now.

     

  6. Superb collection of typography pics. You said in my thread you struggle with 3D space. Well it`s the same for me but different. I usually struggle with typography pics. That`s why there are not many in my gallery.

     

    Welshy is right on with his comment. You hit the spot each time. Well done. :)
