lynxster4 2,631 Report post Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Cookies for Santa - A Christmas Wallpaper (made almost entirely from shapes made with DH ShapeMaker, toe-head's Tattersall plugin and TR's Paste Frame.). Everyone, please enjoy! Hi everyone! I'm active over in the 'Shapes' thread. Busily creating shapes and coloring a few in here and there. Our fellow member ScrapbookWithPDN made a wonderful snowglobe shape and I started tinkering with it. And suddenly, it took on a life of its own. I have many hours invested in this composition and I thought it would also look good animated. The picture is 99.9% PDN. The heart in the globe was made by me years ago, but in a different program. I started using PDN about eight years ago and I love it! Many thanks to all who have contributed to this wonderful, free software and the many plugins available. I'm also starting to get hooked on Midora's animation plugin...great stuff! And I can't say enough about Shapemaker. I hope you enjoy what I've created and I hope to be slowly adding to my gallery.

HELEN 355 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 Oh, that's a very nice creation! The hearts have a very unique texture. It reminded me of mercury. I really like the animation, too. Nice job! Looking forward to seeing more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Limon 147 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 The snowglobe is very nice, Lynxster! I like the rainbow spectre in the hearts' reflections, it kind of makes the hearts look like they were made of mother of pearl. And the base is neat too, the darker lines gives it a soft wood texture Glad to see you have started a gallery, looking forward for more pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScrapbookWithPDN 116 Report post Posted December 1, 2015 WOW! So beautiful. You should do a tutorial on how you made that! I love it!! You should do TWO tutorials. One for the frosting and one for this one. Many would love them and learn from them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishi 191 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 So what did you use for the animated one? AnimGif? By the way, you seem to like cats. I find myself obsessed with our pet cats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, Ishi, I used Midora's animated plugin found here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=31629 It's great! I am a cat lover. My profile picture is of my cat at home that I spruced up a bit. Thank you for stopping by! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynxster4 2,631 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 Very festive! The holly decoration on the plate rim is a nice touch. Thanks, Red, I thought you'd like it. I seem to be gravitating towards making artwork that includes a lot of 'shapes' made by me and others. Why else would we have a "ShapeMaker'? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbieq25 931 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 Very pretty! The holly is just so pretty - agree with Red The cup is cool too. Those cookies (we call them biscuits in Australia) look yummy. I can almost feel the texture of the icing cracking as I take a bite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can almost feel the texture of the icing cracking as I take a bite Thank you, BBQ! I realize now that I lost my depth when I rotated the cookies to match the perspective of the rest of the picture. So......I have very thin, crisp cookies (biscuits)! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
