Thanks. I will be sure to do it soon.

[Dark Zarosia]

100% PDN? You've got to be freaking kidding me. Some of that stuff I would assume is real if I didn't know better!

[HELEN]

I'm this type of person where the busier the image the better it is. I love both 'Quantum09' and 'NewWorlds.' Wow! You're an amazing artist. The spaceships remind me of Goons'. Amazing spacescapes and beautiful and inventive spacecrafts. Wow!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

[janettsue]

Here I am again going "Love it, Love it". I never try to pick a favorite I just look around and love it. So much color!

[theonlychad]

:shock:wow you just keep amazing me with every image you do. That is a wonderful spacescape mate and a wonderful ship. One of the best spacescapes i have seen in a while

[yellowman]

@ Dark Zarosia, thank you, and yes 100% PDN

@ HELEN, Thank you very much for nice compliment, I am glad you like them

@ janettsue, Thanks so much, appreciate your nice and kind words

@ theonlychad, thanks mate, the looks cartoon-y style isn't it? It was another attempt with Quad/Reshape... plugin

@ welshblue, thank you mate, those S3D shapes are old from my MotherBlue spaceship image, well actually I like busy image those make you lost in it, but the problem in my image was the spacecrafts were incompatible with the rest of the background.

....Mercy....

....Crystal....

[HELEN]

Very beautiful! Wow! :shock: :shock: If you haven't mentioned before, how do you do the leaves?

[yellowman]

Thanks HELEN, long steps but not worth a tutorial, here are the details, I hope its clear:

THE TEXTURE:

Do these settings exactly for 1, 2, 3 and 4 steps, and optional for the rest steps:

1-On 800 by 600, run cloud with black and gray=(RGB=128,128,128), it is the default light gray in the original color palette, run the cloud with these settings: Scale=50, Roughness=0.20

2-Splinter Blur with Lighten mode with these settings: Number of Splinters=32, all others on default

3-Run Toon plugin

4-Zoom the layer 2 or 3 pixels to get rid of the white borders generated with Toon.

-Duplicate layer and set the Blending mode to Multiply ( or as you like)

-Tile Image plugin the top layer to: H=2, V=2

-Engrave/Emboss the bottom layer use Emboss for style with width=2 pixels

-Invert colors of top layer and run Engrave/Emboss plugin using Engrave Style with width=1 pixel

-Run Sepia plugin to full amount on top layer

-Hue/Saturation top layer to green (just slide the Hue to something between 50-90)

-Flatten

LEAF MASK:

-On a black layer draw the leaf shape with white

-Make a black line in the center of the leaf from top to bottom

-Use my

to do the veins for the leaf

-Use this mask to cut out the leaves from the texture layer above.

HIGHLIGHT

-Select the white area from the mask using Global Magic Wand and turn off this mask layer

-Keeping the selection on, add a new layer and run BoltBait 's Bevel Selection plugin to the desired amount and colors, usually yellow (or light green) to Dark green one for Highlight and other for Shadow, and give it some transparency.

-Make few leaves and arrange them.

Amazing images Yellowman! At first I thought Mercy was the best , looking at the thumbnails, and it is a beautiful flower. But when you click on Crystal and see it full size all the little details pop out and it really comes alive! I can see why you chose the name.I can just see the light twinkling in the sun. Excellent. :wink:

[sokagirl]

What more can one say ? Your creations are just amazing , I leave your Gallery in awe every time :shock: the flowers are so beautiful ..

[hippotipus]

Awesome! I'ts amazing to see what you can do with Shape 3D

[HELEN]

Thank you so much for the quick tutorial. Your ideas are always well though out. :shock:

[Lance McKnight]

I am reminded of how Nemo made his rose, and how some have accused him of stealing photographs and passing it out as PDN work. Well, yellowman, you have certainly showed that it is entirely possible to create something in PDN using reference, of course. Well done.

[NoNonsense]

Really nice work Yellowman,

can you make a tut on how you made your planets(with rings)?

keep up the good work

[yellowman]

@ Goonfella, thank you very much mate and appreciate your comment.

@ sokagirl, thanks so much, you said everything and more I a appreciate every word.

@ hippotipus, thanks, Shape 3D is really an amazing plugin, endless possibilities in it.

@ HELEN, you are very welcome, and thank you.

@ Lance McKnight, the rose that nemo created is really unbeatable, I feel sorry because he left the forum, I was waiting to see a tutorial from him on how to do those realistic roses or even a tip, thank you mate very much.

@ NoNonsense, thank you very much, and for the planet with rings you can use this excellent tutorial by jsonchiu

Some gold stuff hope you will like it:

[ReinaBroussard]

Just incredible work. You're extremely talented.

[HELEN]

You're amazing, yellowman. Your work is outstanding and always so perfect. I'd like to have a few hints on how you did the spheres (the reflection parts). I would probably do it the very long way, but if yours is easier, please share it. Awesome work once again! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

[A Fleeting Glimpse]

The leaf texture is great and as i have already said the sphere is just outstanding

[janettsue]

I really like looking at your work, love the gold stuff and the flowers.

[0(-.-)0]

Wow O.O

Your latest work is epicness. I love the textures.

[sokagirl]

Your latest piece is mind blowing wait is that a piece of my mind on the floor . The gold spheres are so shiny and smooth . I love it thanks for creating such a wonderful piece .

[yellowman]

ReinaBroussard, HELEN, welshblue, A Fleeting Glimpse, janettsue, 0(-.-)0 and sokagirl, thanks all of you , that is so nice from you, I appreciated every word you've said.

Supernova, 100% PDN, no stokes

[Goonfella]

Superb. You really get the feeling that the shock wave is heading this way and about to engulf those two planets. I do think you could cut down on the number of stars in the background just outside the shockwave though. Don`t forget how bright a supernova is , probably drowning out all except the brightest of stars around it so you could easily get away with showing fewer of them in the background. :wink:

[sokagirl]

SuperNova is superb . Love the color and flow , so stunning ^_~

[chrisco97]

Nice new piece! Very good flow. It is superb!
