LibbyH Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Nice work barbieq25. I like your dragonfly, glass ball, and cracked glass balls especially. Vibrant use of colors and textures, and I love the fact that you have a jewels gallery. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokagirl Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Cute mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 nice mushroom, maybe blur out/feather the edges of the white parts of it though, they seem to end tad sudden. Otherwise very nice, lovely background too. Very HELEN worthy (glossy :wink:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks everyone for your comments & for stopping in to see my work. (I've been here for a while now ) @ Nemo, yes I tried the feathering but it didnt seem to work well so in the end I think I bevelled the edges just a tad. I had changed the resolution & size & I think it mucked up a bit. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

HELEN Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The Midnight Mushroom is magical! You can make the ladybugs a little fuller by just adding a darker shadow on their sides, but that's not the big deal. It's an amazing and fantastic piece all together! I love the way you positioned the mushroom (and made it shiny) along with the grass and dragonfiles! Beautiful!

nemo Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Its still a very nice picture, oh and maybe try using a circular gradiant? not sure but that may help (rotate/zoom it into the positions you wanted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I love the scarabs; they look so precious. They were always so mysterious for me I dont' know why. And the Tequila Sunrise is beautiful! I love the flower-like faded out glow. Really sweet!

HELEN Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Your work always brings a smile to my face. It looks so polished and colorful. I especially like the glossies that you make. :wink: 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...
barbieq25 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 @HELEN, gosh, thank you! esp. the comment on the glossies - I look at your work & wished that I was half as good @Sokagirl - thank you! The feeling is mutual - I love your creations too! @Oma, ever so pleased you like this one. If it were real I'd send it to you. I love the blue bits, reminds me of enameling we did at school so very many years ago now. I've been doing some renders with Chaoscope & of course the jewels & abstracts will always be part of what I do. Thank you all for your lovely comments. I appreciate your input.

Possum Roadkill Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Enchanted Snails is so pretty. But where are their little heads? Phoenix Jewels are so pretty too. I love the gold effect you have the jewels set in. So very nice.

barbieq25 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks Possum. They are shy little critters & are hiding their heads. Seriously, when I did those I had in mind the empty snail shells that I have found over the years & painted them with frosted or metallic nail polish, hence no heads. Pleased you like the images.
