Lovely colors and effects in both images!

I agree with @Seerose, there’s a lot of feeling in that image, even with how simple it is. Excellent work on the orbs too.

Flower and Thumper are amazing! Love the attention to detail and the shading is amazing too. I tried a Disney villain at one point, and it’s mediocre in comparison. I’m glad I stopped by!

Wow! Lovely fruit yet again! Thanks for sharing your secrets on making them too. I may give it a whirl when I have some time.

@lynxster4 Thank you, took a while to get it looking good, but glad you liked it! @Seerose Thanks for your kind words as always. @welshblue This definitely is new territory for me, and I’m glad you liked it. @TrevorOutlaw Awesome, thank you for the critique! I’ll have to try that out and see if I can get that effect that you described. I knew I was missing something, and I think you helped me understand what it was. New image on the first page, going back to my regular style for now, but I may try to deviate again later.

@Seerose It should be the image on the first page with The text Desert Landscape right underneath it.

Very nice new piece! I really like the attention to detail here since you made it look pretty real. Pretty much did a double take to realize it wasn’t a real piece of stained glass. Well done!

It’s been a while, but I have a new image on the first page.

Loved the colors and textures in Fractal Heaven. Iced Apples though is amazing! Excellent job on the details of the ice texture that I would imagine an iced apple would have. Kind of reminds me of ice sculptures you would see in movies.

@Seerose Thank you for your lovely comments as always. @Pixey I suppose I could have used this as a second entry. Oh well, perhaps next time I'll use another image that I had already created.

Great image and I agree with the comments above. Haven't really heard of this group, but excellent job with putting the focus on him.

Love the image, especially the background with all of the colors and swirls in it. Very fitting title too since in the world we live in, we do need extra love.

@lynxster4 I actually was making a wood texture and one of the effects in it made that sort of texture. From what I see, there isn't a tutorial for that kind of texture.

@LionsDragon Thank your for your comment and for stopping by. @lynxster4 I’m glad you enjoyed my piece! It looks awesome on my dual monitor workstation for sure. @Pixey I never thought about it being a signature, but I may explore that option at some point. @Seerose Thank you for your lovely comment as always! @barbieq25 Thanks for your comment on this image. @welshblue Thank you for your critique. Always appreciated. New and old image on the first page: Desert Home.

@lynxster4 Thank you for your praise. I never saw it as an emerald, otherwise I might have called it as such. Perhaps in the future I’ll make one with that title. @Seerose Always happy to share my results with you. Glad you liked it as well. @Pixey Thank you for your comment. I do kind of see it as stormy, thank you for your perspective as well. @welshblue Thanks for stopping by once again. I’m glad you liked Smelling Roses even if you don’t like pink too much. Not one of my favorite colors either, but it’s fun to work with every now and then. @barbieq25 Your comments are always much appreciated. New/old image on the first page: Agate’s Heart.

Very nice image! Agree with all of the comments mentioned before. Eerie, yet the lamp light makes it look inviting in a way.

@Seerose Thank you for your praise, I'm glad you liked the simple, yet beautiful result. @Pixey I did try to get a good rose color for the image, so I thank you for your comment. @lynxster4 Thank you for your comment and stopping by, it's very much appreciated! Another image on the first page: Aurora.

@Drydareelin Thanks for your comment! I do try to tell a different story with each image in an abstract way. @lynxster4 I thought the same thing when I was creating the image. Interesting how one layer blend mode can change the entire image. @Seerose It’s always a pleasure sharing my images with everyone, thank you for stopping by. @Pixey I’m glad you find the image calming. If you think about it, a swamp can be a calming place since it can be quiet. I have a new image on the first page, Smelling Roses.

Very nice images @Seerose! I really like the colors and designs in the third image.

Wow, love the texture in these images. It seems that the darker lines are popping out of the screen and I love that. Makes the images very unique.

Very nice! Almost reminds me of some of those pieces of art in an art museum made out of random parts they found.

I love the watch! Shiny, realistic, and looks like something I would wear. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us.

@lynxster4 I'm glad you thought so as well. Took a while to get it right. @Pixey Thank you, definitely an interesting process to get to where it is now. @Seerose My style has been changing a lot with the different updates to Paint.NET. Some of the effects I used years ago don't work anymore, but I've adapted. @barbieq25 Thank you for your praise and for stopping by again. Thank you all for your comments, they really are appreciated! New image on page 1: Murky Swamps

Love the colors in the grass and how it slowly goes from red to green. Looks lovely!
