[JAD's Gallery of the Pictorium]

This is without a doubt my worst work ever... But I was told to use more detail, more objects... and so I have.

All of this is original and PDN...

Ah, I see my thread is finally waking up... Thanks for your comments... I will try to make more complex images, but I want to start with a full spacescape... If only I could figure out the spaceship... I'll get it eventually... Almost there, I got the basic idea behind the metal... I'm still thinking if I should go cartoonish UFO, ET Phone Home style ship, or something like star wars... I need some images of one to follow--seen the movie so many times... But, I'll get to that, please do not refer tutorials to me, you can hint a method though...

I tried Corel PaintShop Pro X... My advice is to stick with Paint.Net... I find it more--user friendly, brighter, more uplifting of a program... I also like the way the tools and effects are arrayed... Some features of paintshop are useful, but not enough to switch from paint.net. Use it for image editing, but I can't suggest using it for much else...

I will aways prefer Paint.Net over PaintShop... I will never make images in PaintShop.

Maybe I'm just used to Paint.Net...

Getting back to my post, please hint me on my quest to create a spaceship--it can even be a great photo of one!!!

I have noticed that I really stink at trying to create something new... Can't think of anything that I want to try making. Even then, I'm not sure it will come to me... Ah well...

Instead of always doing everything off of tutorials, I tried mixing effects like a madman to start off with the first one...

Surprisingly I still remember how I made it and it's pretty easy if you know where to start...

If you like anything below, but can't make it, ask me to write a tutorial. If I get enough requests, I will make as detailed a tutorial as I possibly can.

EDIT: [i'm starting to use the blend mode ZOR more often... Try it--it opens up a lot of possibilities... Sometimes it can look a little too rough though.]

I'm not the best with PDN so please, have mercy on me!!!!

Here goes...

To keep this from drying up as I work on something new, I put text from my favorite Tom Jackson tutorial...

I decided to make a sig... It ended up too big, but I have a general idea on what my sig is going to look like...

I decided to make an avatar for my profile, or in this case a JADvatar. It looks astonishingly like another picture in my gallery but I assure you there are subtle differences... Try to find them... One of them is almost nonexistant, another is apparent.

I was screwing around and found a cool portal-looking design. I added twist, decreased luminosity, and zoom blurred.

There is always another possibility opened up by space, any kind of story... Here is some inspiration. Man, I'm actually finally getting it!

A ripple

A galaxy (maybe needs some light...)

A more detailed image.

I'm trying... Don't be too harsh... But help me improve...

Of course, there is more to come.

Enjoy!

I tried and tried again and finally, I got this... It's nothing compared with the original, but hey, I'm just starting with Paint.Net, and looking through this forum to figure out how to do everything.
