lynxster4 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Hope this post finds everyone safe and healthy. I made this abstract this morning and thought it looked like a white flower...a white flower of HOPE. Before you leave, have a chocolate cupcake with cherry icing...on me. Stay safe and healthy everyone and...take care of each other! 🤗 Nothing is more important than Family, including our PDN family.

Vagabondi Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Lynx! You are okay, aren't you? The white flower is lovely - glassy - soft and gentle - yet strong. Like hope itself. That's what people need now. The creamy icing you create always creates h-u-n-g-e-r. Eyes in heaven. Candywoman @lynxster4 - please stay safe and thank you.

JulioCoolio Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Wow! Love the white flower! Looks amazing and very realistic! I also like the cupcake, since it is in my favorite food group (sugar), and good enough to eat. Hope you and yours are doing well. 1 Quote Gallery Image Blog Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really done much in PDN while I was off for 6 weeks. 🙄 Opted to spring clean my home instead. Got lots done...yeah! This piece is based on a shape I was working on back in January and February...finally finished it. I have two versions...can't decide which I like better. I present Parrot Paradise Hope you enjoy them! 😊 (Both are clickable) Edited May 10, 2020 by lynxster4 9 3 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...

I'm still playing with @BoltBait's Object Shadow Pro. Haven't devoted a lot of time to it yet. You do need to play around with the settings quite a bit. I was being 'wild and daring'! (haha) I'll get the hang of it! Thank you for the lovely comments, welshy!

Eli Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I love best the second one too. Love feathered friends. I had a few as a child. I ate some of them as well ☺️. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 They are both beautiful @lynxster4 but the 2nd one seems to have more 'pop' to it. Gorgeous colors and the texture of the feathers is awesome 1 hour ago, Eli said: I had a few as a child. I ate some of them as well ☺️. I hope that was just the feathers @Eli and not the whole bird 🤣 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Vagabondi Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 They are just great. I like the first one very much as another example of your decorative style - the texture is so realistic one can easily "touch and feel" it. The second one is softer and even more magical - almost alive. The background is fine, too. @lynxster4 is in details. And, knowing a few things about ShapeMaker now, let me add - you are the champion. 1 Quote my gallery is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thank you @Eli! When I read your comment, I hoped you were talking about maybe goose, pheasant, etc...not parrots! 😆 I had a few parakeets growing up; one always sat on my shoulder and gave me 'kisses'. Thank you @Pixey! I like the 2nd one, also. The first one was done as a stained glass piece. Thank you @Vagabondi! Since you are getting familiar with ShapeMaker, let me tell you this shape has over 300 paths. It was daunting... and I wanted to show off the background...100% PDN, made into a seamless tile. I am still working on more shapes for my pack...(I seem to be obsessed...) 😋 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...

lynxster4 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 New Image! Was playing around with the new ShapeMaker release and came up with this after coloring.

lynxster4 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I have a confession to make. In the 'Royal Crowns' contest, the lady's head was just supposed to be a simple outline, then I was going to make a fabulous crown. But, I got carried away with the 'Lady' and kept filling in more of her features. When she was pretty much done, I didn't have time to make a proper crown. Oh, well... This is my first attempt at a person that is not a cartoon figure. She's not totally life-like, but close. I put some finishing touches on her and I now present 'Lady'. Please let me know what you think! 😊 Edited December 14, 2020 by lynxster4 3 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...
Ladybug Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Beautiful. I like how you did the eye makeup since I am terrible at doing my own lol. People are really hard to make. She looks very regal. 1 Quote Click HERE to see my Pictorium of images I have worked on. You were once wild here.
