Goonfella`s Gallery - New Frontiers 28.02.16

Thanks Dryda. And yet it is all done by eye. I have tried using perspective plug ins but always fall back on what looks right using my own judgement. Nice to know I am getting something right. 

[Seerose]

Seerose , thanks . Do you have a Porsche then? Seeing as you posted a nice Porsche badge.

 

 

@ No no no. I know only from Porsche pictures.

 

[Goonfella]

Oh well never mind, maybe someone will buy you one for Christmas!

 

Thanks for the decoration.

@That will not work   Santa stuck in chimney  

[Goonfella]

Does that mean I won`t be getting any prezzies at Christmas ?

[Seerose]

I get what. But I don't know what? In any case, no Porsche.

First new image for quite a while - House of Dreams.

Based on this Photoshop tut . The biggest challenge was getting the house behind the trees. I tried several different methods before finally stumbling across the answer by accident (as usual!). It was xmario`s Cut Colour plugin that came to the rescue when I clicked on that one instead of the one intended. Using this I found I could remove the mist and just leave the trees which was what had been the stumbling block up to that point.

 

The bats I added are from a set of brushes I downloaded.

 

Enjoy.

Oh......my.......gosh, Goon! 

 

 

What a fantastic image! Everything about it screams perfection. I can definitely see all the time and effort that went into it. Looks like you sneaked behind the bushes and took a photo. Wow!

[Goonfella]

Thanks Helen. And you`ve given me a great idea for a better name - House of Screams. Can`t imagine why I never thought of it before.

[Seerose]

The house is perfect. Is it possible to rent? I love so such houses, right magical effect. Thank you.   

[ReMake]

Surprising representation of the depth of space and prospect! Excellent works.

[barbieq25]

Well! It certainly lives up to the name, Goonie. The path takes the eye to the house & sees those glowing eyes but it took me a bit to see the second figure standing there. Very nicely done, esp. the mist.

[Goonfella]

Seerose, of course it`s up for rent - 50 batsbrains a week should do it. 

Glad you like the image.

 

Thanks Remake. Nice to surprise you.

 

Glad you think so Barbie. I thought it would make it a bit more interesting with another shady figure added in the background and seems to have worked to draw the eye right in. The mist was already in the stock image of the forest so I can`t take credit for creating that but thanks anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Pixey]

Yay - I found you without all that horrid spam all over the place .

 

Fabulous manipulation in this House of Screams (kind of Welshy-like) and you did a wonderful rendition of that tutorial, which I'll give a try when I can.  Great tip on the Plugin too - duly noted.

Happy PDNing for 2015

[Goonfella]

Thanks Pixey. Happy New Year to you too.

 

Happy New to everyone!

 

 

[Red ochre]

Good work on House of screams! - Happy new year

[Goonfella]

First new image of the year. Thought I would try a Nebula. The idea was to try to create a similar kind of image you get from the Hubble Space Telescope and originally it was just going to be the Nebula on its own but I added a couple of planets to make it a bit more interesting and liked how they looked.

Hope you like it.

[Red ochre]

Looks good!

[HELEN]

There are no flaws, Goon. This is perfect! Wow! 

 

You're so great at what you do. Always!

O.. yes. I like the image "Nebula". Beautifully presented and there is very magical. Thank you.

[Goonfella]

Thanks very much for the nice comments. Always appreciated.

 

Red I like your comment - short,and straight to the point.

 

Thanks Helen but in comparison to the nebula images on Google I think mine is some way off. I do try my best though.

 

Nice to know you like the image Seerose. I think space is magical . Imagine being able to travel the stars to see these things close up.

Very good.Goonfella.Very good.Looks like you took some time on this one.I tried to create this look with just PDN but I gave up.However,the ringed planet I dont think beongs.Looks out of place.So did you use real clouds in this?

[Pixey]

Looks good!

 

Like he said - but with bells on!  Big bells .

[Goonfella]

Many thanks - Your Royal Highness Queen Pixie of PDN! :bell:
