Red ochre Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well, I came here to comment on the big version and it's disappeared again ? I did see it briefly and remember it looked good - hey 'dark' is your style - it makes your colours more vibrant too. (having said that one of my favourite tracks is George Harrison's 'Beware of Darkness'). Good luck getting the gallery back up (all that horrible BB code!). Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

jim100361 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Shadows of the heart is a bit dark for my personal preference, but that aside, reflecting on all the other aspects of the piece, I think it is nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeard Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Shadows of the Heart: Nicely done, Barbie! You've woven a rich tapestry of color and shadow, and the flames around the edge really frame the work well. A bit of a departure from your usual style, but a welcome addition to a fantastic body of work. By the way, what font did you use?

barbieq25 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks everyone for persisting with trying to view the image despite code issues. I appreciate the time you take to leave comments very much. Redbeard the font was Evanescence (hope I spelled it right), downloadable for free on Dafont. Yes, my works are dark but sometimes that is how I feel too. Promise I will try to produce a lighter one I hope everyone goes & tries out this fantastic tute: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/23765-simple-glossy-ringtorus-revisited-image-heavy/?hl=torus It is easy to follow & produces really great results.

yellowman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Great to see a new work from you Barbie, it looks awesome on my screen, I viewed it on a dark grey windows background (FireFox default background color) and was amazing, the fonts and rings are popping out of the screen. I also love your new set of sig and avvie Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Thanks Yellowman your comments are always much appreciated. I do believe that the background can make or break an image. Thanks for the feedback. Red ochre, that is a lovely song. Reminds me of Journey Journey for some reason. Very cool!

Pixey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 WoW! The thumb is certainly working and what a beautiful sight The texture is so silky and smooth and soft-looking. A fabulous outcome.

Goonfella Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Unusual image if you don`t mind me saying. The lovely smooth curves contrast starkly with the squares. Great choice of colours. Unusual or not - your pics are always expertly finished.

HELEN Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Beautiful warm colors. The wavy designs actually looks really good with the gradient squares. I also like how you add the golden touch in most of your images...

barbieq25 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Pixey, Goonie & Helen, thanks so much for your support. I cannot see a thumb here but the link to the image is. Tried again to get the thumb up - it just says - You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community. Doesn't work either way if I have the icon switched or not EER. Very sad.

Goonfella Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Barbie I get that problem as well. I assume you are using the reply box at the bottom of the page? Once you have pasted the thumb code click on `More Reply Options' and it usually sorts itself out. You will still get the warning but just ignore it, click on preview and then post. It should not be necessary to jump through these hoops just to post a thumbnail but it seems to work. I have posted one of my images below to show it works.( hope you don`t mind me posting an image in your thread) Edited December 18, 2012 by Goonfella Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Goonie I certainly don't mind. I am just frustrated that it doesn't work for me.

barbieq25 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks Blackpenny. I wanted a brighter image but still seem to be drawn to the darker ones. Little Cyd keeps us entertained.

barbieq25 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yeah, just when you think you are starting to get on top of things you realise that you are in fact standing on opaque clingwrap Sometimes the smallest most innocuous events plunge us into a fire-pit.

barbieq25 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Actually the thought of colored clingwrap appeals to me Or even designs...imagine one of the wonderful images we see here as a clingwrap design. I'd be thin for sure since I could not bring myself to tear it open Ok, well I have been busy & as part of the "pay it forward" year that I have embarked on, I decided I would make some sigs for the lovely crochet ladies on FB (I can hear that Welshy!). So I am posting them here too. It is quite a lot of fun to get a brief & then try to complete it. The antique/shabby chic one was hard & it made me think. The others were kinda cruisy till I lost one that I just loved the background on in the middle of a save. Not a happy camper since I can never recall what I did. Write it down yes, but it disrupts the creative process something shocking. The rose, vintage border & wallpaper background are all stocks from somewhere. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Red ochre Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nice work - some very clever backgrounds! I wonder if the dark outlines/drop shadows on the text and roses are a bit too dark especially on the first one? Love the lace and embossed effect though! - and the quilted effect on the 'Maikki' one is very effective too. Good to see you posting new work - hope the computer is well behaved!
