HELEN Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 LOL. I can't wait to see what you're working on. I know how it feels when you want to work on something else instead of the current project. It's so tiring. Well, I wish you luck and I hope you finish it soon!

Lance McKnight Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 @Storm.Shadow: lol. I drew it freehand, scanned it in, and traced over with a line/curve tool. That's it! *shakes head* Your work is a stroke of genius, hands down. Well, keep it up girl. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

LFC4EVER Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hmmm, those energy spheres are great, but they don't looks so "energy-fy-ing. They need outer glow, and the checkerboard needs distorting more. Looks like a thin lens distortion wise. Try making a square canvas, the same width as the radius of your sphere. Then render the checkerboard. Distort > Lens. Make sure the outer bit is distorted more than the inside. Make a mask to remove the bit you don't want (white circle on black bg, same size as square canvas - make sure circle is same size as energy sphere). Nice job though! :wink: EDIT: Just saw your gallery's banner, and thought give some comments. It looks good, liking the minimal style, but you've made a silly error. You outlined the text after Rotate/Zoom. Should be the other way round, so it looks 3d. Maybe add a gloss as well. :wink: Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

HELEN Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 @goonfella and welshblue: Thanks to you both. @LFC4EVER: *sigh* I seem to miss something each time I complete an image. I try to keep in mind the tips you tell me in my next project. Keep me on my feet; my 23-year-old brain is dying off already.

LFC4EVER Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Heh, its ok Helen. You should make notes of the tips you get, on notepad or something, and build up a collection. That way you'll never have to trudge around the forum looking for tips given to you. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.
