@yellowman  I absolutely love your 'Subatomic Particle'.  It's so sublime... 😃  Great job!

[yellowman]

@Pixey and @lynxster4

Thank you very much, I really missed everyone here 🙂

I am still using the old version of PDN, also there is some new awesome plugins. I have to look when I have time.

And I am glad you liked my entry !

Though I could be wrong, I'm concerned that the subject of a chicken may be a too difficult to attract many entries. There are a lot of component parts and tricky textures involved, I would think. More specifically, I don't see how the usual methods of plugins, shapes, and such would help much. The only way I can think of to create a reasonable image of a chicken is to draw one.

Think outside the square....

Shapes, plugins & gradients.....

You are quite correct @Rle 😊

By the way, an old map can be interesting as a topic for OOTF - what do you think @Pixey? The basic idea is quite simple and it leaves space for imagination, variations, selfmade textures etc.

 

I saw the two of your comments together on the Activity stream and thought about it at once. 😏

I don't pick the themes, but @Ego Eram Reputo and @toe_head2001 who do, may choose this subject one day   Especially as it seems @Ego Eram Reputo is working on a Plugin for that at the moment 😃

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I've added it to the list. It should pop up next year sometime

Thank you very much @Vagabondi and @MJW for your great suggestions 👍 We are now good for a very long time. 

 

And, I really meant I'd add the list to the list of ideas 

[MJW]

I suggest changing the search terms for the keyboard topic to "musical keyboard images". As it is, most of the images are of typing keyboards. (Not that I really expect anyone will be misled into submitting a typing keyboard entry.)

 

I do have a question about what exactly the entries should consist of. Are they supposed to just be the keyboard, itself (i.e., the black and white keys); or are they supposed be of a keyboard instrument, like a piano; or are they supposed to be of the type of portable electronic keyboard instrument commonly called a "keyboard"?

[toe_head2001]

Wait... a keyboard? 😆

I have changed the "Examples" hopefully to show what a musical keyboard looks like.

[Vagabondi]

So it has to be a digital piano or synthesizer - do I get it right? Or wrong? 💫 😉

 

Not just a row of black and white keys like this 🎹 but longer? Or is it okay too?

I have removed the black and white keyboard image in the title. 

 

Boy, this subject is a minefield.  If it makes things clearer for everyone, I will attach this to the thread:

Sorry for all the confusion, I guess the Google B&W image was 'suggestive' 😁.

 

When is a musical keyboard not a keyboard? (When it's an image like @toe_head2001 posted)
