Created with TechnoRobbo's top class Third Dimension Plugin - Called this image "Frozen Face"

Added 29 / 08 / 2013 (made 25 / 08)

A random tile, stacked and dumped on a gradient background, not really sure what it should be, but I do have the pdn to re-use.

 

 

New  16 / 08 / 2013 

I made this version of Welshblue's Gun barrel from a tut that he sent me through e-mail, I thought it was high time I showed it off in my gallery. Cheers to Welshblue for his time and effort into putting a tut together for me

 

New 06 / 08 / 2013 (Edited 07 / 08 / 2013)

A bigger version of a new sig. Inspired by Welshblue's sig, but not as good.

 

 

New 04 / 08 / 2013

Again using Skullbonz rusty barrel tute and a self taken image. I have created this photo-manipulation.

 

New 02 / 08 / 2013

Slightly remixed version of my post in Skullbonz excellent RustyBarrel tute thread.

New 25 / 07 / 2013

Following This tutorial (also from Welshblue)  - I created this:

 

New 02 / 07 / 2013

A variation on the sig of the week comp #85 (Colours & Shapes) 

Created as ever with Clipwarp and TechnoRobbo's Top class Scatter plugin, plus a few blend modes to add to the mix.

 

New 14 / 06 / 2013

Created with the help of This plugin

 

14 / 06 / 1013
Created with this Plugin  (under development) 

 

New 12 / 06 / 2013

I didn't realise I had not added for sometime, I came up with this thanks to TechnoRobbo's  new LineTracer plugin

Obviously it is not 100% PDN, but I did take the photo and edit it. It gives me the impression of the old style comic books

 

New 14 / 04 / 2013

Clipwarp once more, and also Red Ochre's new Bevel object plugin. Here

 

 

New 07 / 04 / 2013

Clipwarp + Countryside image + Guitar + S3D gave me this result.

 

New 27 / 03 / 2013

Two new items based on the light rays plugin to start with then just played with different blends and colour.

 

 

New 22 / 03 / 2013

Creating a picture frame, rotate/zoom and a metallic kind of fractal, led me to this illusion image.

 

New 10 / 03 / 2013

Not sure if this is a yellowman tute, but this is my result:

 

New 05 / 03 / 2013

Inspired by ThisQuestion and the answer given by Red Ochre. I created this one.

 

New 27 / 02 / 2013

A larger sized variation of a comp entry.

 

New 24 / 02 / 2013

Just messing around with an old(ish) pic of me and some clipwarp got me this one.

 

New 17 / 02 / 2013

Two more clipwarped images based around the London Underground.

 

 

 

New 10 / 02 / 2013

A metallic clipwarped arrow.

 

 

New 04 / 02 / 2013

I really do have to watch my obsession with clipwarp Just created this one by removing the original image and adding a slight gradient backdrop. I don't think anyone is watching over me, but that's the only title myself and "stella" could come up with

 

New 03 / 02 / 2013

Not really sure what it is meant to be, but it looked cool enough to post here, any ideas as what to add to it would be welcome.

 

New 30 / 01 / 2013

Inspired by an image made by Sasha in her gallery (the fisherman) I used this picture that I took of a disused London Underground walkway and created this one. I gave the station an obvious name too.

 

 

New 20 / 01 / 2013

A slightly different version of a comp entry, I liked it so much I decided to add to my gallery.

 

 

New creation 16 / 01 / 2013. 

Taking some inspiration from Helen, Blackpenny and nitenurse79's examples of clip warp, I created this slice of surrealism. 

 

Some signatures 

One I made for sig of the week underwater theme


The Olympic Spirit with a variation on a tutorial.



Fooling around with Shape 3D and some cool colours produced this;


Following another tutorial - Helen's glass cube

Funky Radioactive Bowl.

Orbular Illusion - Just an experiment


A Caged Logo - Thanks to jim100361 for his help in making this one


From yet another tut from Ella. 

 

From a newly created tutorial on wood textures. I came up with this; 

 

A larger version of a winning entry in sig of the week.

 

Something new to start 2013 off with.

 

A couple of images created using Red ochre / Null54's excellent Clip Warp plugin.

 

could not resist the re-take on the title for this one

 

A larger version of a sig I was working on, it lost impact once it was resized to 500x150 sadly.

 

A larger and first version of another work in progress. I ended up removing the background to use as a completed sig. 

 

Updates as and when, thanks for looking.

[minners71]

Nice start to your gallery Drew now comes the hard part maintaining it

P.S I think the glass box with the PDN logo was one of Helens tutorials.

[DrewDale]

Thanks minners71. I will try my best to keep it up to speed and will edit the post to give Helen the right credit.

[DrewDale]

Thanks Welshblue, I have updated the credit where it is due to Helen I have more to offer but, I hope to add new things as well, I don't want to just dig out my old stuff

Thanks for the feedback.

[HELEN]

Your latest additions are stunning! I love the Shape 3D grid-like cube with the fiery letters. You did a nice job on the glass cube. It looks like you took the PDN logo and placed it right inside the glass. Very clever. I love the keyboard and the effect it has. Very nice! Overall, a great collection of various and beautiful pieces.

[DrewDale]

Thanks Helen, happy that you like them, some are just doodle type things really, but it's more about enjoying pdn.

[Pixey]

Very Gallery you have started and I really am impressed with your Team GB logo - it's so clear and pristine. Love the fishes too Very nice work here.

[Red ochre]

Great work - love the metal bars in the 3rd sig!

[yellowman]

Congratulations on your gallery, you know how to choose your colors, I like them all so far, and the Christmas card is beautiful , but where is the snowman

Look forward to seeing more from you.

[DrewDale]

Thanks nanettealsop, Red ochre and yellowman for the encouraging feedback.

With regards to the snowman...it completely slipped my mind, I knew something was missing

[nitenurse79]

Nice start here DrewDale

Some really inventive works, the metal bars in the third sig is very authentic. Love the glass cube and shape 3D work too. The xmas card has some really nice "fluffy snow" effect too. I look forward to more works.

[OddLlama]

Nice start! These are good. I especially like that glass cube. :)

[jim100361]

Great start to your gallery. There are a few pieces that effect me differently and as a result the I like above the others:

The underwater piece is a "friendly" sort of piece that immediately puts a smile on my face.

I also love 3D results obtained through PDN, so as a result the glass block and the 3D cube also are pieces that I love.

This does not mean however that you don't have other pieces here that are cool as well, these are just the ones that I enjoy the most.

[DrewDale]

Thanks nitenurse79, OddLlama & Jim100361, Your comments are encouraging

@Jim100361 - The underwater one was made like that because I couldn't think of anything to add with the bubbles, I must admit, it makes me smile too, i'm glad you like it. 3D is something I'm trying to get more into, the glass block took some time to get right and then to find something to put in it too (I should have used fish ) one or two others are doodles of sorts. Thanks for your feedback, I do plan on getting more on here as I go along

[DrewDale]

Thanks for the link Welshblue I will have a go at that tutorial and make something better.

Edit - I do notice a lot of lasso useage, is there a workaround? I think that tool hates me

Great start to your gallery.Looking from the first image to the last is really showing how you are progressing.Doing tutorials is the best way to learn all the different techniques.Nice to see you getting involved in the comps.I like the bit of humour you put into some of your pieces.Keep up the good work and keep enjoying what you are doing.

[DrewDale]

Thanks dug. I like the tutorials too and try to add a little outside the box to them, I learn better that way. Although it will take a long time to reach the same levels as a lot of people on here, I find it a relaxing pass-time creating different things.

The comps too I enjoy and try my best to step out of the normal to make a sig or an image

Thanks for the encouragement dug

[jim100361]

Nice piece with your latest one. However, my mind sort of interprets the meshed globe as a sort of cage and as a result I guess I'm expecting to see something inside it.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with it, it's simply a matter of how my mind works I guess.

[DrewDale]

You must read minds jim100361, I was thinking of placing something inside the cage (a pdn logo was my first choice) but no matter where I placed it, it just didn't seem right.

Interesting to read how other people interpret things Thanks for the feedback.

[jim100361]

... but no matter where I placed it, it just didn't seem right.

How so?

[DrewDale]

It just looked like it was placed behind the cage. I tried to add it under the cage before I ran shape 3D but that didn't work either I'm sure there is a way to do it

[jim100361]

Duplicate the cage layer. Once you've duplicated it, on the top one, erase the "background" (easier said than done with all the mesh lines). Place your image that you're inserting in between these layers.

[DrewDale]

Thanks jim100361, I will do that

[DrewDale]

A little bit of a rush job, but something like this?

[jim100361]

Exactly!
