nemo Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 --Please note this will NOT be on page 1 as i dont think its good enough -- Ok guys so heres something i worked on for a little while this morning, its my first 'official' attempt to make a picture using a photograph so i hope you like it. The lighter was a picture and the flame is 100% pdn, nothing special overall but i think it looks nice when put together?I used blue for the base colour because all fire has a blue inner (especially the more powerful the flame). Here is what i think ill class as the finished piece, im really pleased with it . I know its not exactly a realistic flame but i like this From this: To this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELEN Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I love the texture of the flame; it kind of looks watery, yet firey. Nice job!

Superferd Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I love that flame! you should really write a tutorial on that! Quote WOW! i think i have a new avatar and sig every day!

nemo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 @Sam: I personally made a curved line then did a transparent gradiant of a slightly lighter shade of colour as a highlight. HELEN is the glossy queen she could probably give you better info than me as i did this as i went along @HELEN: You got me , the flame was my original attempt at water but i stopped at this stage because i thought it looked nice @Welsh & Superferd: Yup the flame is pdn but lighter (obviously) isnt. Ill have to go back and play around in pdn using the techniques again before/if i make a tutorial to get some settings for people to get the best result *scuttles off to pdn* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Heres my latest (bad) attempt at water..its all 100% pdn. I am currently trying to remember how the hell i did this but i think it looks quite nice?. If i can think of a easy way to do it ill make a tutorial..if i can get rid of the cloudy background that would make it even better (although i use clouds in the water so this may be tricky) Its in the first stages but im sure ill get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 that's good. But I don't get why there's brown in the picture :? Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 its a color tint, it is actually a blurred red but failed atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Heres 2 ribbons i just made, they were influenced after reading this EDIT: whoops, forgot to add the one with a bell -- ill sort out the bell later cause its prety messed up atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 love the ribbons they look awesome Quote  "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

Lance McKnight Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Heres my latest (bad) attempt at water..its all 100% pdn.

If it was me, I would make the water a bit more straight coming down, add a few mist here and there, and motion blur it. I like the brown because it makes me think there's rock behind the water, and it gives it a rough feel to it. I think the mist can be done using paintbrush, radial blur, and maybe Gaussian blur. Keep trying. Nice job with the ribbons and bell. Not yet time for Christmas, but it's better to be ahead than not to be, I say! Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

nemo Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Lance, ill have a go at that. I used zoom blur at one point rather than radial, ill give it a go . And ahh i may make a christmas set of pictures, im working on a Halloween set atm :twisted: EDIT: oh here is a little something i whipped up. I made a art nouveau style flower and lowered the transparency to about 24 above a nice deep purple background. I think it gives it a nice stencil feel. Simple but quite nice (im really sorry for those of you who cannot see it because it has turned out fainter than i antisipated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I can't see the flower, even with my glasses on... Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 :? its a faint flower slightly lighter shade of purple to give it a stencil effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
