barbieq25 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Helen, I knew that it would be worth waiting for. I think they must be magic orbs because where they kiss the tiles they glow. That is such a brilliant concept. Love the colours too. Just love it! Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

HELEN Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 A lof of wonderful people to thank. @Dryda: I try to focus on other details as much as I do for the main piece because they're all part of one another. Thank you, Dryda. @Sasha: There were several different colors choices I tried out because I originally had three orbs. However, the colors for the background just didn't go together with the orbs, so I went with only the two orbs and chose the purlply/pink/blue colors. Thanks. @doughty: Sure. You can go ahead and play. I was sort of imagining a waltz in my head along with King Arthur's Court--don't ask me where those ideas came from because I don't know. @Welsh: You know, pink and warmer colors aren't all that bad. I was glad I was able to choose a background to go with the orbs because it was quite a process. I appreciate you commenting and giving suggestions. As always. :D @Oceana: Using Paint.NET for quite some time now, I learned to smooth jagged edges and give contrast to my images. Not all the time, as there's always room for improvement, but I try. Thanks, by thew way. @Drew: I kindly thank you. You can read where I got the idea from in doughty's response. And the background was a last detail I worked on. Glad you like it! @pdnnoob: Ah, the new mod comments! Thank you for your nice comment. @Daniels: There was a user on here a while ago (aguba) who actually created shiny work and I remember seeing his work for the first time and me thinking I will never be able to do anything as glossy and shiny as his. But, time came, and that's where I'm at right now. I give credit to him (and all of you) for your motivation and inspiration. Thank you. @barbie: Oh, I know I haven't posted in such a long time. I feel badly for that. BUT, I do, however, I appreciate your lovely comment. And you always say such poetic things. Wait...that do esn't sound creepy, does it? @matt: Thank you, thank you, and thank you! @yellowman: I know, I know. I should post more. I was so unmotivated and I couldn't get myself to do anything. I'm very glad you like the orbs and commented. **This next piece was done with RFX's background tutorial. I had this idea in mind right after I tried it out. Hope you all like it.** Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELEN Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 @Sasha: Yeah, the tut really got me inspired to try this idea out. Glad you like it. @RFX: I saw several images like this online and thought I'd give my idea a whirl. Your tut was something I've been looking for. @Drew: I love orange with gray because it goes well together. This idea came to me late at night and just had to finish it. Thanks, btw. @Welsh: Hey, if medication's involved, it just adds an even better effect. Thanks for the lovely comment, Welsh.

nitenurse79 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Helen. That fire image is just awesome, I love the colours and the background. I also get the impression that the background is moving.

HELEN Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thank you: Matt, Beta, NN, Dryda, barbie, Welsh, and barbie (again). @matt: I appreciate your comment. You should try out something like the fire image I did and then add your backgrounds that you make behind it. @Beta: It took years of practice and support, criticism, suggestions, etc. I'm glad you you find my gallery worthy enough to look through. @NN: It's a background I wanted to try out for one of my glossies. I'm glad that the tut was posted. Thanks for commenting and stopping by. @Dryda: I like puns especially if they're positive. And yes, the background does look like carbon fiber. I followed a tut on this forum. I posted his name on my first page. @barbie: I was wondering where you have been! I hope things are going well for you. I appreciate your lovely comments. Oh, I could just hug you! @Welsh: Thank you, Welsh. It's an honor. **This next piece is inspired by the sig competition this week and my project I wanted to complete a while ago. Took me a few hours to complete. There are a few corrections needed, but I won't be editing it.** I hope you all like it!

HELEN Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 @Daniels: Sometimes games can even have a good impact on you that you play as a child. I don't know why, but whenever I played CandyLand, I always felt like I was IN the game, you know? It was very interesting for me. I love making images bright and cheerful because life isn't always so. Thank you. @Drew: Be my guest and enjoy a piece of dessert. I appreciate your lovely comment. @barbie: Maybe it can be our summer house. I believe I had 50+ layers, which surprisingly, wasn't that much. It took me about a day and half to do. Glad my images can make you happy. *hugs* @Welsh: I got the sweet tooth from my dad I think because my mother doesn't like sweets as much as I do. I would one day love to illustrate a book with maybe a Candyland. I truly appreciate your kind words always, Welsh. You're my longest supporter and I feel great that you still find my work worthy enough to look at. @Beta: I found myself submerged in this image because it made my my mouth water, as well. Thank you so much! @matt: Thanks, matt. This was a project that I wanted to work on I believe when I first started using PDN, so it was a while ago. @Red Ochre: I was surprised that another image was sent to the Galleria. It's an honor. So happy you like my candy house. Knowing how great of an artist you are, I'm humbled by your words.
