Congrats on the placement of your peacock in the Galleria. Very fanciful image. :trophy: 

 

Love the work you're doing with the stained glass also. :rainbow:B)

I've been playing around with this piece for months trying to get it 'just right'.  If I don't publish it now, I never will, so I present another stained glass technique that I think is realistic.

 

Rippled Stained Glass:

I hope everyone enjoys it!!   :)

 

 

I've followed BBQ's suggestion in post #137 and posted a revised image which really makes the butterfly 'pop'!

Yes I enjoy it! It's a great addition to your gallery!

 I know what you mean when you say "if you don't publish it now you never will". Most of my work is that way.

An outcome very pleasant to look at! Laie_98.gif

I've been a member for over a year and a half, and I never get to start a personal gallery out of considering that my works are always lacking something. Dissatisfaction is an odd thing to feel. It brings you quite down at times JC_shakehead.gif

The glass looks fabulous. If you have the lead outline on a separate layer, try running a Drop Shadow on it. & have that layer on top of the glass. Bit will give it that bit more 3D. PeterPawn (inactive for many years now) gave me that advice for mine & also for the jewels I used to make. 

 

The glass is such a lovely texture & the colours are perfect. It would be lovely to hang in a window. Well done! :star:

Aaahhhh....that's what's missing!!  Thank you so much for the advice BBQ!!   I'm glad you like the butterfly.     

 

I've implemented your suggestion and posted it...it makes such a big impact on the overall image....thanks, again!    :D

Max, this why you need to start a gallery.  Suggestions and advice can help make you a better PDN'er!!   (see post #137)

What a beautiful outcome on the Flutterby @Lynxster.  Both renditions look wonderful, but the one with @BBQ's suggestion does seem to have that extra "Pow" to it :D .

 

@Max - you must get a Gallery started asap :lightning: .  I think we ALL were nervous the first time we did this :mrred: .

That's a really neat style you have going on there, with the butterfly. The alteration you did with Barbie's advice really makes it 'pop' more and gives it more depth. Great piece :D

 

Thank you, Drydareelin for the nice comment about my work!  Glad you enjoy the image.    :mrgreen:

Hi everyone!  Still fooling around with stained glass.  I modeled this pic after a panel I saw on the web.  I made my own texture for this and used it in a few different ways.

 

Please let me know what you think!    :D

@Shochi, I'd love to tell you that it's a plugin...but it's not. PDN does not have a complex stained glass plugin.

This effect was achieved by lots and lots of hard work - many layers and manipulations went into this.

I'm glad you like the pic!   :)
