Pixey Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow! That's a very Moody Blue piece @LionsDragon. The snake is spooky curled up like that . The piece is lovely and shiny and glassy too . My very best'est friend comes from Wisconsin (who now lives in Texas) but through her - I know all about cheese heads and the Green Bay Packers Hope your move goes smoothly 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

LionsDragon Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 @Pixey thank you! It gave me an excuse to listen to some jazz standards...not that I ever need an excuse for that. And yes, the Lion and I are Cheesheads to the core! In fact, we're moving close to Green Bay (he's from the area originally). @Seerose, thank you! Funny how I got those colors: after getting the models adjusted to my liking and getting the background to resemble a loft-type apartment, I put a layer of deep blue over the top and then puttered around with the blending modes. I loved the effect I got with Xor, but it wasn't blue enough for my purposes--so another layer of deep blue set at "Normal" did the trick. @lynxster4, that was exactly my intention! The term Poison Blue just kinda begged for it, y'know? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 @welshblue, thank you! That's exactly the effect I had in mind. And thanks. It was supposed to be this weekend, but the weather has other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsDragon Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thank you! I'm almost done with the main "set pieces." It's helping me keep somewhat calm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippiechos Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It looks like a Blues snake charmer. I like the composition and colors and how much expression is in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsDragon Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thanks! It's great to BE back, and as I said above...there's a lot more to Eddie's story. The brat's taken over my head lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 This is Marion, one of the sisters to Eddie from "Poison Blue." These two are part of a larger piece, but I really wanted to show off her dress. Marion is painted from a model. The diamond is from @welshblue's "Metallic Marble Text," the hair is built from brushes from DeviantArt--and everything else is pure PDN. That includes the pearls on the jacket and the lace on the jacket back (second image). 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 She positively glows @LionsDragon That dress is gorgeous and shimmers like silk. I also love her chain-mail head dress . Wowzers!

lynxster4 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Excellent work @LionsDragon She really does 'glow' as Pixey said!

LionsDragon Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 @Pixey...ooh, potato! You're right. I tried to make a lace veil and made armor instead. ? Then again, Marion's so shy she probably wouldn't mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 @lynxster4, thank you! At least I got the glowing, happy bride right if not the veil. And thanks. The background was quite fun, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You caught something I totally overlooked, and isn't that what we're here for? You've confirmed that I did the right thing in forcing myself to take a break from this project; I need to focus on something else for a while and look at this with fresh eyes. Thank you! When I DO allow myself to go back to it, I'm gonna tinker with lace for a while. Thanks for catching that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 You're very understanding @LionsDragon - I really feel bad though ? Please don't give up, she is really something and that dress is outstanding. You have that glow going on and I noticed that in something you posted a few days ago, I think it was one of MadJik's Plugins, a tree perhaps. No, it was a fern ........... it had that wonderful shimmer. Kepp up the great work - don't stop whatever you do . (I've had a bad week of making faux pas - my bad!) ? 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.
