Possum Roadkill Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Abstract of the Week Competition # 5 Winner is Sarkut ! Runner up is Sokagirl ! THEME IS: "Hidden Images" ! Make an abstract image that contains hidden images (see description below for more details). This is the first competition dedicated to Abstract Art created in Paint.Net. Here are the rules.... Theme is " Hidden Images ", make an image that holds within it other hidden images. This is difficult to explain, so I have provided a link and three examples. This is a link to a website that has many examples, http://www.planetperplex.com/en/hidden_animals.html Here are some additional example images. http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Board%20pics/face_landscape.jpg http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Board%20pics/bovine_atlas.jpg http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Board%20pics/warren_romantic_day.jpg The idea is to create an image and hide related or unrelated images in your image using textures, colors, or objects. The examples show a face hidden in a landscape, a map hidden on a cow, and lovers hidden in a seascape. Due to the complexity of this theme, the entry period will run for a little over two weeks. Stocks and renders are allowed, so please provide a link to them. STOCKS AND/OR RENDERS ARE ALLOWED ! ! All submissions must be entered as a thumbnail link to the full size image. No images previously submitted will be allowed. This thread is for DISCUSSION only ! If you want to ENTER this comp, please go to the COMP thread HERE The ENTRY period for this competition run through Friday evening June 18th, 2010 at 7:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time. All Entries submitted up to that time will be accepted.[/size] Edited June 22, 2010 by Possum Roadkill 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...
pdnnoob Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 doesn't seem like something I would call "abstract"...more like photo editing. No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich. It's the filling that can change your experience of the sandwich. ~Ego Eram Reputo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 doesn't seem like something I would call "abstract"...more like photo editing. unless you draw/paint it all yourself. The only reason I allowed the use of stocks was because this is such a hard theme. It would fall more into the category of surreal art, but that can also considered abstract realism. I know, it's a stretch. 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...
sokagirl Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well I did one but I don't think it's right because I used two stocks then layered with clouds , changed the colors . If it doesn't let me know and I'll be happy to remove it . I read the rules where it states create an image so I guess it doesn't qualify .. Sorry , I will remove it ..

blackpenny Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I don't even know where to start. I just happened to be working on something that fit the last one. Sokagirl, I think yours qualifies. Combining images is sort of creating a new image, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocks and renders are allowed in this round. I don't even know where to start. I just happened to be working on something that fit the last one. Sokagirl, I think yours qualifies. Combining images is sort of creating a new image, isn't it? Yes, it is a difficult theme. Sometimes that is what we need to push us to get better. Look at the examples and give it a try. You never know until you try.

sokagirl Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 @ Possum , thanks .. I'm glad it did . This theme is very hard to create totally from scratch but Black Penny I have confidence in you , maybe you can find something you like and perhaps hide an image within an image as I had ? Blending and layering is easy for me but creating something like an illusion well that's a tough one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sokagirl Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh I know you and Yellowman always come up with such awesome pieces , I just can't even come close to what the two of you create .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpenny Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Maybe I will give it a try. I was playing with some photos I took last summer, but didn't really get anywhere. I have one small problem though - I cleaned up my hobby room, so now I have room, I'm spending more time with my Sculpey clay, and it's hard to tear myself away from it.

yellowman Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Nice one soka, it doesn't need to be so complex: like this image: you can see an island and a small boat, and there is a hidden fish, but if you flip the image vertically, you will see a figure of a newly-born bird.

blackpenny Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Very cool, Yellowman. I've looked at the pictures, have a bit of a clue, and I'm thinking about it. It's a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
