blackpenny 30 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Nice work on the record. I haven't seen one in a long time so I can't really comment on how vinyl-y it looks. Love the background too. Great Xmas sig. You should put it on a Tshirt and wear it around a shopping centre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red ochre 1,467 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 I looked on google earth street view (Maybury road/Stanley road , Woking, Surrey), for the road sign - it's gone! Great work on the record. I saw the original tut - got to admire your patience - and an impressive outcome. Put that sign back when your finished with it mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowman 210 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Amazing result Welshy, love the details and colors, and the background as well, you just need a wider black outside edge, you know, where you drop the cartridge at the beginning EDIT, Sorry for the late comment, my IS was off for almost a week..but I was seeing everything on my phone.

RedBeard 27 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 I see how you are, Welsh, showing me up on the whole vinyl record thing. No, don't deny it, you're not fooling me. You did it just to make me look bad. All kidding aside, your works continue to amaze me. It should be noted that your technical prowess on PDN is matched only by your creativity. The way you've blended the technologies of the past and present illustrates this. I agree with Goonfella that a little more shine on the vinyl would really make it pop. Other than that, it's another masterpiece beautifully executed. I'm still waiting for you to do one of RoboCop... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshblue 2,888 Report post Posted December 21, 2012 @ BarbieQ', B'Penny and Dug ... maybe some fairy lights around the text on the anti-christmas T-shirt ? Many thanks guys (@ BarbieQ' ... I've still got the large .png of the S - You design if you ever need it )@ Sasha ... many thanks. Not sure about 'lifelike' ... more my take on realism @ Nanette ... many thanks. I'm old fashioned but IMO you can't beat the feel and sound of vinyl. And vinyl album covers always look much cooler than their cd counterparts.@ Red O' ... many thanks mate. The road sign ? The price of scrap metal is so good I sold it to help pay for the T-shirts ...@ YM ... many thanks mate. Good call on the edge ... I hadn't noticed before. My bad.@ Red B' ... Never mate. And thanks. The idea of it all is all thanks to the PS tut' from GoonFella ( Who I must say thank you again to for a great challenge)RoboCop ... you sketch a head on view of him and I'll fill in the blanks ?@ SAND33P ... many thanks. Not 'incredible' but I always accept kind words Plus a lot of thanks has to go to forum users past and present who have contributed in so many ways to my learning things--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ella's Zen ... http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/25550-zen-stones/'> This tutorial is the inspiration behind it.

barbieq25 931 Report post Posted December 21, 2012 Ella's Zen stones is an incredible work that is atmospheric & emotive. A work of opposites - reflecting life. I love how you have layers in the image, as in the frames. Well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 355 Report post Posted December 21, 2012 Oh my gosh! This is an incredible scenery! The background looks just like a photo--I can't believe it. Well, I can believe it because you created this, but it's just beyond phenomenal. The sand dune texture is wow! And what a fitting border, too, Welsh. Oh, and the lens flare is amazing. I told you. That's the proof that it's a real photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goonfella 217 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Beautiful landscape Welshy. I love the clouds and the way the sun peeps from behind them. Great job with the lens flare. Everything just WORKS! Well done mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixey 3,886 Report post Posted December 22, 2012 Very good take on a desert scene and it does look amazingly real. Those stones are incredible, as are the dunes. I just noticed this here and it's 'wow' . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELEN 355 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Welsh, it's a beauty! LOVE the paint-like splatters all over your name. The maroon color on white is a great color combination. I know that I've been wanting to do something in PDN and that was to fix my banner. I think it will be my next project. Great job, Welsh! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
