Thanks for all your suggestions.
Helen - I do think it looks a bit `flat' and needs some shadows/highlights to bring it out. Never thought of the shadows on the leaves though - thanks.
LFC - as it a wip I havn`t polished off the edges yet but thanks for mentioning it anyway, although it doesn`t seem too bad.
Welshblue - I got the shape of the strawberry from the tut I was following. Looking at some photos of the real thing shows that it is a bit too round.Never mind, it`ll do for now.
BTW, before anyone asks for the link to the tut ,for some reason it is no longer there. I got redirected to another webpage where it was supposed to have been moved to but it was not there either :?
It`s called Drawing a Melting Strawberry in Photoshop.

Just made a strawberry wip.
Havn`t finished yet. Still needs something.
Any suggestions?

If you hold down `shift' when you click on your first letter , all the text will be selected at the same time so you won`t have to select each letter separately.Much easier.
-
Thanks Helen. Maybe your`re right.
Looking back at the pic I think possibly the pieces of the puzzle could be thicker. But then it would fly like a brick,not a UFO!

New pic on P1 - The UFO Puzzle.
I noticed the link to the Puzzle Piece tut in the Real Image thread and thought I would give it a go. I wanted a nice background and in the end I settled on a flying puzzle, which led me to the name of the piece - The UFO Puzzle .
I tried to make the puzzle a bit more interesting by warping it a bit with Tube Oblique.
The clouds were custom brushes based on the cloud plug in in PDN.
Constructive criticism welcome.

That`s superb! Another masterpiece.
-
Nice. The leaf on the stem is a nice touch.

Thanks Jedi12. I basically followed this PS tut for the apples -
http://psdtuts.com/tutorials/drawing/ho ... ustration/
The only part I struggled with was shaping the apple as in the tutorial, but having done Oma`s pear tut I have found ways of using Bulge that I never would have thought of ( thanks Oma! ) which could get the required shape with a bit of fiddling around with the settings.
If you want to try the apple , have a go at the pear first - what you learn about shaping the fruit will come in handy.
Having said that I used part of the apple tut to improve on the pear. Swings and roundabouts!
Good luck! :wink:

I guess with a name like Chop and one or two Harley pics it was kind of obvious!
Plus I`m a biker myself although I have a Fireblade , not a Harley .
Keep up the good work, I`ll have to keep an eye on this gallery I think. :wink:
-
Don`t tell me - you ride a Harley!
Some great stuff here . I particularly like the first one. Very nice. :wink:
-
and its like trying to do glass, method is one time good next time same steps yield nada! its something I'd also want as a plugin.
ciao
OMA
I have to agree there!
Sharp - I think this was the one -
When it`s downloaded it should be called `Heightfield to Normal Map'.
I also found this one which seems to do a similar thing but with more options in the GUI.-
Havn`t tried this one myself though. Not needed it so far.
-
I really love the fruit pics, especially the pineapple. Great stuff.
Also the plastic wrap abstract is nice. :wink:
-
Thanks very much.
-
I`d just to say thanks everyone for all your kind words.Much appreciated. :wink:
-
Has some one taken a bite out ?
BTW - Thanks Welshblue.Look forward to seeing yours.
-
As this is for realistic images I`d like to post some fruit.
Make you hungry?
-
Hope you enjoyed it!
Now you can have a pear as well. Just finished using Oma`s pear tut.
Don`t eat it all at once!
-
Just finished my first pear. I did the shadow differently though. Duplicated the finished pear and coloured it black. Then went to layer zoom/rotate and adjusted to the right angle, which did take a bit of fiddling.Then gaussian blur and reduce the opacity as in your tut.Also I selected it with the wand and reshaped it a bit. This way I think the shadow has some of the shape of the pear.
For the stem I used a similar method as in the apple pics, except I think this one had a better result.
I really enjoyed this tut. Thanks. Anyway here it is -

I sure do. Here you are -

I don`t know if you`d be interested but as we are on the subject of fruits there is this one as well. The challenging part is getting the Plastic Wrap effect in PDN. -
http://psdtuts.com/drawing/create-a-cit ... photoshop/
This was my go at the citrus fruit slice -
Have fun!
-
I needed to replicate the same effect to do this orange slice from a PS tut-
In the end I used clouds - default settings
Dents - scale 21, amount 30, the rest default
Heightfield - bumpiness 8.78
Adjust to black and white
Layer setting reflect.
Colour as needed.
It would be nice to have plastic wrap in the effects though.
Hope this helps.
-
Superb tut Oma! This I must try . I have the apples already and they do say fruit is good for you! :wink:
As soon as I have some time I`ll be having a go at this.
-
How about True Blue for the first one, Tropicair for the second and Circle the World for the bottom one?
Nice idea that - making your own airline. Hope its not too pricey though!
-
That`s actually one of PS`s custom brushes. OK it might be cheating a bit but it was the best way to get the effect I wanted.I tried making my own moon for that part but this was just way better. Everything else is PDN though. Glad you like it.
-
What chance have we got if you keep making such good images?
That`s really good - as usual. :wink:

Added a few shades and the the shadows on the leaves really make a difference. Good call Helen :wink:
Also I used a bit of Powerstretch to change the shape. I think it looks much better now.What d`you think Welshy?
Tried to get rid of jaggies but on the laptop it looks fine. It`s only on the web you notice it ( on Photobucket and here).Any ideas to get rid of `em?
