HELEN Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Goon, you're an unbelievable artist! I love that ray of light--it adds such a nice view to everything and illuminates the space scene. Wow!

Goonfella Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Dryda - thanks , I am always pleased when you like my spacescapes because I know you are a bit of a space buff as well. I used to have Celestia a few years back on another laptop but then I got into PDN and never used it much so I got rid of it. Might be worth getting it again. Thanks Seerose, glad you liked it. Bbq - the blue/black colour was simply because Uranus is a blue planet so I figured on giving the whole thing a blue hue. That helped to give it a freezing cold feel as well , -305° F (-187° C) kind of cold feel! Brrr......... Helen - nice of you to say so. But ray of light? You are not confusing the ray of light with the rings are you? I never actually put a ray of light in there.

Daniels Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Valley Views is quite an impressive work, Goon. Gives a feeling of loneliness. Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks Daniels. I guess it has got a bit of a lonely feel. Just imagine what it must be like out there. Dead quite, nothing moving and no jets flying overhead to disturb you. Just the planet Uranus and her moons passing by. Oh and the freezing temps of course!

HELEN Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 That's what I was referring to, Goon. I should've chosen my words more wisely. I'm such a weirdo. It's gorgeous, Goon. That one detail really adds so much beauty to the overall image!

JulioCoolio Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Valley Views is amazing! I really want to know how you do that to make it look so realistic! Crown of Thorns is a really cool image also. Great work on your most recent images. Quote Gallery Image Blog Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Helen , I`m sure you`re not a weirdo - well not quite anyway! Thanks Red. I`ve got lots more in my Fans gallery as well. Julio , this one was a mixture of photo manip and PDN. The rocks/cliffs are from real images which I think makes all the difference and helps it to look more realistic. If you want to see some of my earlier (not quite so realistic) ones feel free to visit my gallery on Fans. (sorry for the late reply, I`ve been a bit busy lately ) New image posted. Clockworks - made using Red`s brilliant Gears plugin.I thought this would be the perfect subject for it. Not so sure about the texture of the metal gears. Just could not get that realistic metallic look, but the rest is OK. Texturing has never been my strong point.

DrewDale Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Top work on the Clockworks image Goonfella highly realistic, I think you have managed to get some nice texture in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 OH, so shiny! What a genius! I could've sworn I saw the gears moving...and the handles, too. You really did an incredible job on the golden texture. Wow!

Goonfella Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks Drew, Helen. I thought about trying to animate it like I did with the Fan gif but all those gears and the hands? Whew! I think that would be a little step too far for me. Nice to get complemented on the textures though. Never expected that.

Goonfella Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 New image. Dreamy Nights. This image started off as a sunset but I thought this looked much more serene. Oma`s old palm leaf tut was a help with the palms but as the trees were going to be silhouetted I never added too much detail.
