Popular Post lynxster4 Posted November 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2015 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. 3 15 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see you've started a gallery here. Well done! Thank you for the kind words, barbieq! I'm so glad you like it. I've seen your gallery, and some of the compositions are simply stunning. My original 'first' post inadvertently got moved and seems not to be able to be fixed. It is the 10th post down on page 41. Go there to see my initial images and what barbieq25 is commenting about.

HELEN Posted November 30, 2015 Share 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!

Limon Posted November 30, 2015 Share 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!

Thank you. You're quite welcome, Seerose! Glad you like it. See what you can make out of some simple shapes? 2 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapbookWithPDN Posted December 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishi Posted December 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

lynxster4 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share 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'?

barbieq25 Posted December 14, 2015 Share 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 Knowledge is no burden to carry.

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)!

lynxster4 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 I updated 'Cookies for Santa' wallpaper. The gkids loved it, but they don't have a discerning eye like we do. It bothered me, so I had to fix it.
