HELEN Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's a different take on the smiley...I like it. It looks like it's dreaming or maybe reminiscing a great memory.

Daniels Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've started playing with ClipWarp... Just something I whipped up in a few minutes. Some new content. Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks Welsh! I agree that a shadow would be a good thing. I think I'll make that adjustment. Unfortunately, I didn't save it as a .pdn...guess I'll have to start from scratch... Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) So, I took Welsh's suggestions to heart, and did a few more mods that I thought would make it look better.

Daniels Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you very much! I can't claim credit for the diamond plate, however. I got it online. Here, to be exact. I may rework it with my own diamond plate sometime. Edited February 22, 2013 by Daniels Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniels Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 My entry for SOTW #75: Still Life. Some criticism would be much appreciated. I've also posted some "tutorial pieces". Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashwilko Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Your clipwarp stars are really eye catching. Industrial strength is wonderful, the only thing I can find wrong with the sotw entry is the plant is too big in perspective with the rest of the image and it needed blending in at the base a little more.(it just looks pasted on) Perhaps a little less blur on the barn would be better too. (just my opinion - not that I'm any better at doing things) I also like your twist on the puzzle tutorial, clever idea using black & white with it - great concept. plus you got further on with the stone tute than I did real nice art here Edited February 25, 2013 by sashwilko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thank you much, Sasha. The sig was kind of an attempt at forced perspective...the vantage point is supposed to be directly in front of the plant with everything else being far away. But I get what you're saying. Especially about the plant looking pasted on. I duplicated my dirt layer and moved it above, but it still doesn't look very good.

Pixey Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I agree with @Sasha that the barn is a tad OTT in blur. Also, I'd have tried lasso select on the base of the tree, + where green meets earth, and then whilst lasso is selected in those areas, use Blur - unfocus. Otherwise it is a cute little farm scene .

DrewDale Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Indeed industrial strength does look like a Welshblue works, great details, the puzzle is something I have bookmarked for working on sometime, I like your idea on it. To agree with Sasha and Pixey, the plant looks odd in size and it needs planting, you could make a new layer, use the brown colour from the dirt, paintbrush around the base on your new layer, then run a little Gaussian blur on it. All in all great stuff going on in this gallery Edited February 26, 2013 by DrewDale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
