barbieq25 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Pixey, Angelina is another masterpiece. I bet she wishes she could look that good now. Such a lot of detail & shading you have put into this one too. Congratulations on the Galleria entry too. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Goonfella Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Beautiful! Chrome is superb. I would have put a big red ruby or something in the middle personally but yours is just as good. Nice work Pixey.

Maximilian Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Wow It looks so chromie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The chrome is super! It is just begging the viewer to touch the cool smooth metal. One thing I learnt from the jewel master Peter Pawn, is to put some shadow between the layers to give it an even more 3D effect esp, where the main gem sits. You've done such an incredible job with the chrome & the colours are really pretty. The tiny sparkle add to the whole effect. It'd make a perfect ring or pendant Well done!

Pixey Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks so much @Helen, @Max and @Seerose for your positive comments . @BBQ - Yes, I do recall @PP's great advice on making a shadow between the jewel layer. I did try it but, as my jewel layers were in different layer modes, it didn't seem to 'take'. @Gooney - thank you so much and here is a ruby for you WITH diamonds (see........... your tute is really usueful) 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

barbieq25 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yes, that is a problem with the layer blend modes. I have tried also duplicating the layer running a drop shading but selecting not to keep original image. I deselect everything but what I want to merge down, flatten rather than merge, copy to clip board & then undo to before the flatten. I can see that a lot was lost doing the drop shadow too. The diamonds around the edge are really pretty Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonfella Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Nice work Pixey. I think you should call it a silver gem. After all, silver is more valuable and very classy - like your work.

Pixey Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lots of great portrait work being getting done AFG dropped in! Thank you so much. Great to hear from you (think of you often) as you are the sole reason I managed to get into painting portraits. Nice work Pixey. I think you should call it a silver gem. After all, silver is more valuable and very classy - like your work. Why thank you @Gooney - much appreciated. I was looking out for you over here during the TT Races ........ was sure you'd be zooming about with the rest of those crazy guys on their motor bikes. I can't watch the races - too scary .
