Vagabondi 41 Report post Posted November 22 (edited) I am a PDN sophomore (started with 4.0.21) but all you see below was made during this autumn. Kind of suddenly. And it doesn't seem to stop so I just need a landmark. Click and have fun.

It makes the newcomers want to do things they have never tried before. Special thanks to: @lynxster4 and Lydia @ScrapbookWithPDN - for every time your great shapes were guiding my hand @Pixey for inspiration - yours was the first gallery I checked and you leave people no choice but start trying, you glossy @Wither for one tricky tutorial - I read it and I understood the whole layer thing plugin authors - @BoltBait, @dpy, @Ego Eram Reputo, @jchunn, @Joshua Lamusga, @MadJik, @MichaelVinther, @NomBot, @pyrochild, @Red ochre, @ReMake, @Simon Brown, @TechnoRobbo, @toe_head2001, @Tom Jackson, @xod - for practical magic @Seerose for tomorrow - because 62 page-by-page takes time (but promises a lot) @Rick Brewster - for this "wonderful playground" (c) Shine on you crazy diamonds... __ __ __ __ __ __ December Updates: 1 - this page 2 - page 2 Edited Wednesday at 07:20 PM by Vagabondi 3 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMake 828 Report post Posted November 22 Excellent work. You have a good spatial imagination and you use effects well. Unexpected for a beginner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynxster4 2,614 Report post Posted November 22 WOW! I am just stunned! 😵 Your work is soooo good. I'm very impressed. I'm glad some of my shapes came in handy. Keep doing what you're doing. Look forward to seeing more! 😄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagabondi 41 Report post Posted November 22 (edited) @ReMake, thanks... for me this is more unexpected than for any longtimer. And I literally ran across some of the results while playing & trying to get different ones. In paint.net, effects use you @lynxster4, I'm glad that you're glad. Your shapes rock & roll, they reign & rule. Thanks again. And trust me, you will get more because this is not all. Winter is coming...

Pixey 3,882 Report post Posted November 22 How lovely to view your work @Vagabondi and I'm really touched to know that I was an inspiration to you - how cool is that - thank you You have certainly gotten the hang of PDN and your results are fabulous indeed. I note you were a fan of Grumpy Cat - me too 😻 Look forward to seeing your Gallery expand. And, BTW, I too sit a lot more at the computer in Winter and my waist expands at this time of the year 🤣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagabondi 41 Report post Posted November 22 Thank you @Pixey - yes you were. Tomorrow I'm going to pay a visit of admiration to your Gallery and be more specific (haven't done that before - sorry - been buzy). #TeamGrumpy4Life And waist is middle class, my dear - you are the Queen, you're bigger than that.

Vagabondi 41 Report post Posted November 23 @Eli, how is your museum doing? Any update any time soon? Would be cool! 18 hours ago, welshblue said: When the fun stops. Stop. Nope. Cause I'm normally driven by sadness (nothing else like that fuel). But it's the combination of the two that attracts me most - in arts and in people, too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A combination of fun and sadness ? Sadness of any form is too debilitating for me. Especially in others. Which is why I volunteer with troubled teens and teach Paint.net to try and overcome it, by getting them to express themselves on canvas. Thankfully, for most it's helping Even my 'dark' or macabre images are always based on hope 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrevorOutlaw 255 Report post Posted November 26 Hey, Vagabondi, I am now checking out what you have posted, and while I see that you are learning your way around with PDN, so keep it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagabondi 41 Report post Posted November 26 @TrevorOutlaw, a funny thing - I checked your gallery and saw that it was the very one I'd been searching for (in vain) to take another look at the Double Exposure pictures. Could not remember the artist name. And here comes the artist! A forum life is a joker... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrevorOutlaw 255 Report post Posted November 27 You must be referring to this? It was an experiment to see if I could achieve the double exposure technique in PDN that is easy to do in Photoshop or Gimp. It wasn't that easy, requiring some thinking and tinkering. I think I'll do another double exposure to see if I remember how I did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrevorOutlaw 255 Report post Posted November 27 Wow, I didn't think the hummingbird was a good one as I was trying to make it look like the hummingbird was coming out of the plastic thing. The other one that I called Mysterious was trying to create a movie-style poster. I will certainly try and make more things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
