Goonfella`s Gallery - New Frontiers 28.02.16

I recognized it immediately without even seeing that you had already posted a link to the tutorial. I have thought trying that image myself but using it for a different image. Well done, mate. A job well done.

[Minoeman]

The planets need textures and the hills need feather, other then that, it's pretty cool.

[HELEN]

Like Minoeman said. Aside from the critique, though, you know me, I love your spacescapes, "Horizons" is just so fantastic. I could look at your scapes for hours and not get bored. Really nice; it sets just the perfect mood!

[Goonfella]

Welshblue - thanks for that , the `rocks' weren`t exactly planned though

I find you can learn so much from using other tuts, although sometimes it does show up PDN`s lack of certain features - like a proper dodge/burn tool. I used Oma`s blur painting method on the mountains instead.

Stormy - thanks . It`s quite a basic tut but a nice one.

Minoeman - the planet/moon never had textures in the tut and it was a very `minimalist' pic anyway ( if that makes sense) so I didn`t want to spoil it by adding unnecessary detail. Plus I mainly did this one for the landscape . It`s too late to add textures now anyway. I could add them but it would mean a huge rework of the pic. Thank for the suggestion though :wink:

Helen - what a nice thing to say. Thanks very much. :wink:

[Goonfella]

Ok I`ve feathered the mountains and Welshblue has kindly offered me the use of his picture frame, and a very nice frame it is too. Thanks mate. :wink:

[Possum Roadkill]

Man your stuff just keep getting better and better. I am just amazed at how real your work looks. I love the space scapes, they look like paintings on book covers I read when I was younger (and that was a long time ago). Very very nice. I wish I had a better vocabulary so I could use bigger words to describe how good I think your work it.

[Goonfella]

Thanks very much Possum Roadkill . Much appreciated. :wink:

[yellowman]

Horizons is beautiful I like the colors very much, and the idea to frame the image is nice.

[Goonfella]

Sorry it took a while to reply but thanks Yellowman! :wink:

This latest pic(on P1) is my entry in a mouse drawing challenge on PDN Fanatics forum run by Drakaan.

I just thought I might as well post it here as well as it goes nicely with all the other Apple products I `ve done.

[HELEN]

Really nice! Perfect composition and colors!!!

[LFC4EVER]

Great job on the mouse.

The wire looks flat though, maybe use jake2k's wire tut to shade 'em?

The shading on the actual mouse is great though. KIU.

[Goonfella]

Thanks very much for the nice comments.

LFC4EVER, I think you`ve got a point about the lead. I`ll see what I can do. :wink:

Added a bit of highlighting to it . Thanks . :wink:

[Lance McKnight]

Goon, that mouse looks really good. I remember it being almost transparent at the top and you could see the grain of the mouse beneath the transparency. That is definetely the closest thing to a real one though. I hope you win this contest, dude.

[janettsue]

What a pleasure to veiw your gallery.

[yellowman]

That iMouse looks great, I can see the Windows logo in white up left on the mouses body, what an accident,

[Goonfella]

It does look like the Windows logo doesn`t it? I suppose I should be saying - `that`s how I planned it' but that would be fibbing. It really is an accident. Well spotted. Glad you like it. :wink:

[Minoeman]

It looks so smooth. I likes it!

[Raptor_101]

You have some excellent work in here. That iMouse is an interesting one. I like the spacescapes. Especially the one with the planet with rings.

[Goonfella]

Just curious. Which ringed planet? There are four to choose from!

[Goonfella]

Just posted up my latest pic. I have called it a Psychedelic Chevy because of the colours. It was inspired by this Gimp tut -

Hope you all like it. C&C welcome.

[HELEN]

A.m.a.z.i.n.g. I love it! I like the colors and everything. Really nice!! :shock:

[Lance McKnight]

I saw the picture, and I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I felt there was too much red/orange in the picture. I liked the background and the swirls that decorated the background. It seem to give a retro feel to the picture with the old Chevy in the middle, and I say, "Good job," because I think that was what you were aiming for, no?

Helen - thanks for the nice words :wink:

Stormy - It`s not to everyones taste I know. The colour does stand out a bit. I just couldn`t make my mind up which colour to use and then I tried this one and just thought to hell with it let`s see what response this gets! But you are right , there is too much orange. Thanks for commenting. :wink:
