NinjaManDan21 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's no secret you're quickly becoming the goddess of glossies not just the queen I would have to agree with this. All your art is so marvelous! I especially love your Inner Glow, it could be used like a c4d behind a render!! Splended!

Goonfella Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Secrets is simply superb. You really do make the best glossies I have seen. Colour choice makes all the difference as well and your choices are unbeatable.

barbieq25 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Not sure if I commented on the Secrets one but it is a stunner! Your works have that magical quality that dreams are made of. When I look at your images I am always filled with same feeling that I got when I first read books as a child, full of wonder, fantasy & excitement. Well done Helen!

Ilke Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 M-m-m-mindblowing. I just love how in The Golden Touch the mouse is seamlessly integrated to the rest of the picture. Your glossy/3D shapes are just fascinating otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhmedElyamani Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hey ,that was Brilliant !! 4 stars I loved the orange slice most ... Mind writing a tutorial on how to create it? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) A HUGE thank you to : ninjaman, welshblue, barbieq, dug, jim, llke, and Ahmed. I keep your suggestions in mind, so don't think I'm ignoring you. I liked making "Golden Touch" and it was a little challenging, but reading all your responses, I'm glad I did a photo manip. @Ahmed: I think there's a tutorial written by someone else (csm725): HERE Edited November 30, 2011 by HELEN 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...
HyReZ Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Greetings Helen, I just finished view your work I was especially impressed with your style in the production of "Simplicity:" I am trying to get a simailar style for some backgrounds and settings for an animated short that I have been developing. I am still working on the characters as SVG files. Is there a tutorial somewhere to guide me? Peace, APMauldin " HyReZ " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 First, thank you for your kind words. Second, I'm not sure if there's a tutorial on this type of style in PDN. The reason why this image was named "Simplicity" because that's what it exactly is. I used circles for the trees and the bushes as well as clouds, I freehand drew the grass, and for the hills, I created the shapes using the line tool-- filled the shape with one color, selected it, and then added a gradient (I did the same thing for the taller blades of grass in front). To tell you the truth, a lot of my inspiration comes from vector-style work. So, I'm pretty sure you'll find some quick tutorials from Illustrator on how to do a similar style.

Jaxon Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very nice still life Helen, I especially love the texture and color of the vase. No offense, but your carnations look more like hydrangeas. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 @Jaxon: As long as they look like flowers, I'm all set. Thank you for your kind words. Again, the flowers were edited in PDN, but were originally a fractal made in Mandelbulb by Patty. The rest was done in Paint.NET.

barbieq25 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Oh Helen I am pleased that you are still in contact with Patty & that she is still doing her artwork. What a brilliant image from the start image. I love the way you used it & the bright colours. Patty's work was so different to anything else on here. Well done to both of you!
