Egads, the stuff is like kudzu, growing all over everything. Love the new curls. Looks fantastic as texture. http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/plants/kudzu.shtml In a good way.

Nice gallery opening, really like the colors in your gallery banner and new sig and avatar. Very dramatic. Keep up the good work.

R.Crumb, maybe?

Peter Pawn's brighter red and gold addition is a beautiful counterpoint to your softer sadder reds. Gives me chills. So personal.

Congrats Pixey for the 1st place win. Congrats to DrewDale and Daniels for 2nd and Sasha for 3rd. I'll just say hooray to the rest of us for some very good entries. Thanks Drew for running the comp.

Congrats Drydareelin, very professional entry. Congrats to VodkaPrincess, Sasha, Sand33P, Drew, and love your letters Daniels. Very good entries from all.

Your wallpapers, beautiful...You express feelings so wonderfully. Heartache, Stone - soft, hard, I have felt them both. Don't know that Stone is supposed to be a feeling, but I have felt this way. Didn't think of using Furblur for making a background shadow. Love what you did in Hearts. And congrats on your gallery entry.

Red Ochre, Very good examples above. First image done with first plugin version. **

Happy and it didn't crash. Edit:Picture was missing. Hope I replaced it with the correct one.

Drewdale - I think maybe a weapon/shield combo. And will blind your enemies with it's shininess. P0th3ad - I like how the ships are swirling around, but is that Polar Inversion you used? It can be a tricky thing to use and in this case it's making top of skull's head a little large. I like the way your sig is abstracted, there's just enough to make me wonder where that is. Welcome to the forum, hope to see more from you. Thank you Red Ochre for FurBlur plugin. Destination

Hello and congrats for the gallery entry. Self Sculpture (Treebeard) is one of my favs. Fascinating what you did here. All the wrinkles and dents. You have such a range of beautiful images.

Congrats for the gallery entry, very refreshing. All of your work is so nice.

Computer was behaving itself today. I think curl was bothering it yesterday. Sasha - Cool.

Purple Aurora - diaphanous, love the softness. Catch My Dream - beautiful, other worldly. Paper is one of the best texture tuts. And concrete. I get so frustrated with the curly lines plugin - wish it were divided in two. I'm glad to see you tackle it, you've made a couple of really cool 'drawings'. You have such gorgeous work.

So fun...but crashed several times. I'll try something on a smaller image.

Why can't we just view the image? Why a zip file?

Well, love 'em both. Is that allowed, voting for both? Oh, the coloured things are skulls.

Skullbonz vs DrewDale entries -

Was really hard not to make a full page ad. Edit: Forgot how post correctly. Edit: Spelling.

Congrats Skullbonz Mop bucket and the warped boards on the platform - so real looking. Maybe smash a few butts down. Great image.

Are you Sharpwriter of DA? Great Stuff. The size of your posted images are over 800x600px per forum rules. And say a few words about the last posted image above you. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/8134-image-umbrella-image-modificationmanipulation/page-1

Oops, I didn't realize that any rotation was involved. Wondered why the pixels didn't just fly out in the direction chosen. Guess I need to experiment more with this. Thank you for the explanation. I really do like the effect.

Curious to me, at 180 there is falloff in the pixels and I thought the pixels would go straight out as they do at 175. Guess I'm being picky?
