Possum Roadkill Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 The landscape and the flamingo are great, so colorful , and welsh is right, you need 2 bottles (he has an image for those, and it is one of my favorites) and need also shadows on the floor, cause they are both the bottle and the bird , floating in the air. I ended up not using the flamingo I posted here. I made a different one for my friends logo. The one I gave him had no background, it was just the bird on a transparent background. It was much larger too, I think it was like 7 or 8 inches tall because his wife was going to have it put on a shirt. This is the one I finally ended up using, I just added the background to post it on here.

Possum Roadkill Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 These are a couple of abstracts I did last week, or maybe the week before. I don't remember now. :shock: Woven Amphibian Quote My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Don't know what is funnier, the Flamingo welding or Welshy's comment! I love it! Each one of the Flamingo ones is so good. The expression on his face is just cracking me up. Well done! I'm not sure why I haven't seen the updates before...looked at your albums & love the new works there. The lakeside one is really good. I see you've done a water dragon too...it is so cute! Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Possum Roadkill Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I made a matching pair of sigs for a friend of mine who participates in US Civil War reenactments. They all dress in period clothing and use period military gear and reenact significant battles of the US Civil War. He is a US Marine and a volunteer at the Emergency Services Office where I am also a volunteer. I used parts of Oma's sword tut to craft the Civil War era sabers.

Possum Roadkill Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 @ barbieq Thanks, it is kind of wacky isn't it? I thought Welsh's comments was one of the funniest things I've heard. I had never heard that saying about welding before. I always thought it would be really cool to be able to weld and do metal sculptures. @ sokagirl. Thanks ! Hey love the new matching avy and sig. Those are so cool ! I've tried to get back to doing sigs lately. I helped a friend start a new community forum and he joined mine and didn't have a sig or avatar. So I made him some and let him decide which ones he liked. He chose the first one to use on my forum and the last one to use on his forum. I found a great picture of a mule's head busting through the screen and made it into an avatar. So the last one here really fit the whole Jacka** theme for him. I really like the first one. I think it's a really cool look and I had never done anything like it before.

HELEN Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Where do I start? My eyes are running all over the place and I can't keep up with your work. I absolutely love those textures! The flamingo is so adorable and silly. Very nice. The 'Gary' sigs are tremendously beautiful and so perfectly shadowized (is that a word? ). I love the 'Heywood' sigs, too. Now how in the world did you create that metallic texture? :shock: 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...
oma Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 that Heywood sig is really nice. especially the first one. I really like the end bevels and the centre portion behind the name. the colors of that one are just so harmonious. (hope I spelled that correct I miss the spell check in ie8) well I just have to comment on the sig for Gary. well done and I'm so glad to see that little sword tut put to such a creative use. and just have to say the handle is super! Now these kind of sigs appeal to me. They tell clearly who the sig belongs to. They are personalized to the individual and are so much more classy than just a paste on. Especially since you managed to make all the elements your self 100% paint.net. great great great bravo my friend ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokagirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks Possum , love your new signatures . I just love the beveled around the center so awesome and those colors wow :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 lol, well that sky is really nice Oops ! I thought you meant my regular user sig. Yes, the Mule sig for Heywood ! I did that as a little play on a phrase "Howling at the moon", but in this case it's "Braying at the moon" since mules and donkeys "bray". I have had that donkey stock photo for years now and have used it in a variety of images. It always makes me laugh. @ Helen, Thanks ! The metal texture started out as a gradient (multi color gradient), then the Fire! plugin, and followed by the color flip/rotate. On the Gary sigs, I bet I spend as much time doing the shadows as anything except the sabers. I was really happy with the way they turned out. I may even make on for myself. @ Oma, Thanks for stopping by. It's so good to hear from you. I could not have done the sabers without your sword tut. Now I want to do a King Arthur sword ! I agree with you, I think the sigs that tell a story about the person they are made for are much more interesting. And when you make the entire thing yourself, I think it is even more appreciated by the recipient. The one Heywood sig is the first one in a long time where I used a stock image. Not sure I could draw a donkey ! Besides, he's so handsome. The first Heywood sig reminds me of tortoise shell for some reason. I remember when I was really young, my grandmother had a tortoise shell comb. I always thought the colors were so beautiful.

HELEN Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Really well done! I just love the reflection and the night scenery. It's seems very tranquil. Sometimes a person needs to be alone and I think that this image portrays that really well. The "Thinker" is amazing! There is no face, but just through his arms and body position you know that he's thinking. I love it! :shock: 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...
Goonfella Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Very nice. Like Helen, I particularly like the reflection and the way you`ve managed to make the floor look so shiny.

Possum Roadkill Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Thanks guys. I thought it was a fun piece to do. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Helen, I'm glad you like him without a face. I thought it really said more with his posture, and I'm not good at faces . I did a new abstract and posted it in the Abstract Images forum. There is a rather odd explanation that goes with it. I guess I'm really tired and all that goofyness just came out. Anyway, I guess I better get some sleep, I've been up over 25 hours now and things are running thin. See you all later on the back side. 8) -Possum Quote My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
