As stated in the WOTW rules, you must provide a link to any and all stocks or renders used. Special rule # 5. Do not anger the Possum. WOTW # 20 Made from paper. - Theme Rules. Please read this ! Theme is "Made from paper" Do you remember back when you were in grade school (primary or elementary school) and you were given construction paper, paste, and those rounded scissors and got to make something to hang on the wall to decorate your classroom? Ah yes, those were the days.....For most of you, it wasn’t that long ago. For me it was over a hundred years or so it seems..... You are to make an image of anything but it should look as if it’s been made from paper. This can be any kind of paper, construction paper, rice paper, parchment, notebook, etc. as long as it looks like it's been cut out and pasted together. You can use any color or colors of paper you wish. Here is an example I made for the AOTW. I made this image of sunflowers so that they looked like they were made from crumpled paper. http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Possum%20Art/PaperSunflowers.png You can make any image you like as long as it # 1 looks like it was cut out of paper and pasted together, # 2 Made completely in Paint.net, no stocks or renders allowed for this week. This is a very simple concept, but believe me, it’s not as easy to do. So, since this will be a more difficult competition than in the past, the entry period for this comp will be two weeks instead of the usual one week.[/color] Take your time, plan your image well, and produce the best image that you are capable of. Good luck ! Do not discuss this competition in this thread.

If I understand your question.....you are taking an image and you are re-creating it completely in Paint.net? If that is the case, then no, unless you want to show off. If you create everything in the image and don't use any stocks or renders in that image, it's OK with me if you base it on something you've seen.

Space Art Competition #2 DISCUSSION THREAD THEME IS: Space Craft (rockets, orbiters, space stations, space ships ) SAC Comp Rules: All submissions must be created in Paint.net with the exception of renders and stock photos when allowed. When they are allowed, obviously you cannot use the stocks or renders as your entire submission, so the majority of your image should be created in Paint.net. When Theme Rules allow, you must post a link to any stocks, renders, images or parts of images you did not create in Paint.net, i.e. fractals created in a fractal generator program or textures created in another program of any kind. All images must be submitted as a thumbnail link to the full size image. DO NOT POST FULL SIZE IMAGES! Minimum size is 800 X 600. There is no maximum size, but keep in mind that people will want to look at your image and if it takes too long to load, they may not wait to look at it. NO PLACEHOLDERS! Do not post an entry until it is a finished product. NO WIPS (works in progress) ! No images previously submitted will be allowed. I reserve the right to add to the rules as people do things to annoy me. (See special rule # 5.) THEME IS: Space Craft Theme rules: You are to make an image depicting a space scene with a space craft of some kind. Crafts can be rockets, orbiters, space stations, space ships, rovers, landers, probes, satellites, space suits, etcetera. You may use stocks and or renders in part of your image. (The less the use the better, in my humble opinion). You MUST link to the stocks or renders you use. The use of another program to create textures is also allowed, i.e. Apophysis to create planet textures or nebulae textures or even Blender to create 3D planets. However, the majority of the image must be done in Paint.net, because this is a Paint.net forum competition. As in the use of stocks and renders, you must post any textures or elements you create in another program as if they are stocks/renders. (Remember, Possum’s have a sixth sense about things like this, do don’t make me hunt you down. So with that in mind, special rule #5 is in effect for this competition ). This thread is for DISCUSSION only ! If you want to ENTER this comp, please go to the ENTRY thread HERE. The ENTRY period for this competition run through Wednesday evening (June 2nd, 2010) at 7:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time. All ENTRIES submitted up to that time will be accepted

Yeah, that was the very first time I used it. I would have looked better with that off and then feathered.

Possum Chow, Don't leave home without it ! No Stocks or renders. A 100% nutritious and complete diet.

Wow thanks for the mini-tut ! I really liked that piece. Well done ! Yes I did luck out. I guess it just shows that being lucky is sometimes better than being good. I'm usually not either. Thanks for the compliment on the text in the sig. No it's not the old Chrome Text effect you wrote the tut on, it's something I pieced together from other people's ideas. It is pretty though. I do still use your technique though. It has amazing results if you expand it out and use multiple layers and blend modes. I had what I thought was a great idea for this comp, but someone must have also thought it was a great idea and got there prior to me even getting started. Oh well, back to the drawing board (yes, pun intended). Maybe I'll luck out again !
