PyroTechniques' (noobish) Gallery (UPDATED: 12/19/08)

[PyroTechniques]

Welcome...

Welcome to my gallery!

I've been using PDN for about 2 months now.. still a noob, so don't expect anything on par with people like Ash and -Expiration- and whoever else.

The Gallery

Photo Manipulations

Messing with photos...

Got this from a tut, I thought it looked interesting.

From the "Exploding Planets" tut. The Day the World Went Boom...

I used the tut by barkbark00, then tweaked it quite a bit.

Messing around with a pic of mountains. I thought it looked pretty cool.

Abstracts

The random wanderings of my brain...

Amazing where messing around can get you, isn't it?

Signature/Avatar Combos

Sig and avatar combos.

My first sig/avvy combo.

Made with the same method as the abstract above.

A modification of the above sig.

Creations

They just don't fit in any other category.

Window Into Oblivion. Still missing something, but I can't quite figure out what.

Candy Star, or some such. Originally, it was going to be a gemstone, but it didn't turn out that way.

Probably my most accomplished piece of art to date. Took me 3 tries to get it right. Kemaru suggested Competitio for the name. I like it.

Realistic Images

My attempts at re-creating real-life-type objects.

A quick job I did one day, when I was bored.

I can't decide whether I like this one or the above one better.

I decided to try my hand at a light-saber. The hilt was the hardest part.

That's all I've got so far. More updates to follow!

I love the light saber. It's so neat-looking! I like your sigs and photo manipulations. The planets are great, too. Good job!

[Kemaru]

I like the easel.

[PyroTechniques]

Thanks!

UPDATE: Added 3 new pics - 2 photo manips and an abstract/realistic.

[HELEN]

The window is just way cool. I like your abstracts, too. Keep it up, buddy!!!

[Goonfella]

Great light saber. For the planets, try making them a bit smaller ( or the rings larger). They seem a bit out of proportion. Otherwise good stuff. :wink:

[Kemaru]

Welcome...

Window Into Oblivion. Still missing something, but I can't quite figure out what.

I know. Interior.

Your planets are great. You should combine them in one big space scape.

Maybe I should try doing one, too.

I like your work, keep it up.

Thanks! Yeah, the planets were kinda quickie stuff. I'm gonna have to come up with a better texture for them.

@Kemaru: Yeah, you're probably right about the interior. I might put some work into that sometime.

UPDATE: Added 2 new Creations.

I like the candy star. It's a picture that I can flip around in my head to look either inset or extruded. Which is lots of fun!
