A larger and more refined version of my latest SOTW entry;  'Pearls 'n Roses'.

It was really difficult to get the TGM plugin to look good when working with such a small size for the contest.

And I think it's really important to pick the proper image.

 

Please enjoy!!   :)

 

EDIT:  The original image is my own creation.

Beautiful! Reminds me of the intro to Family Affair, which I've always thought was beautifully hypnotic. <3

 

Thank you, LD!  I'm so pleased that you like it.  <3    Now that I think about it, yes, it does!  I watched that show....those were the days!   :)

Thank you, Pixey! <3   I can see where it looks like a wreath, but my original immediately reminded me of pearl strands. It's funny how we interpret things differently! :D

You're right @lynxster4, it does look better full sized! And a great job on the texturing.

 

Thank you, Woodsy!  <3  TGM does not resize well at all. It took me a while to get it 'just right'!  ;)

I really, really like that.  Would look great on a huge canvas on a wall.  Nice job on the background ... in my experience they're just as important as the forefront and can make or break an image

 

Awww....thank you so much Welshy!  <3   You've given me an idea.  I have access to a color large-format printer and roll photo paper!  I may make a large print and frame it. 

It would look great on my azure blue wall!  :mrblue:    (Look at my avatar...that wall)

@lynxster4 dooo eeeet! That would be stellar!

 

LD, I've printed it on plain white paper (24" x 36") and I'm going to take it home just to see how it looks on the wall.

If it looks good, I'll print it on the photo paper.

Thanks for the encouragement!   :D

 

EDIT:  the colors are not exactly the same vs. when viewing it on a monitor, though. The background came out way pinker.

It's really satisfying when you see one of your works on the wall.

 

Yes, it is!  I have some old ones up....time for a change!!  I'm hoping this looks good.  Thanks for the input Welshy!!   ;)

Hi, my friends!  I started this composition sometime last year and finally finished it.

I used this image found here as a basis for the outline;  the rest is all me and PDN.

I made this for my granddaughter.  This took months to do; always fiddling with it to get it just right.

 

I present Princess Tiana from 'The Princess and the Frog'.

I hope you all enjoy it.   :)   It was a great lesson in shading.  I know she's only a cartoon character, but I think mine has more 'depth'.

I've been studying the Shape3D plugin, thanks to @welshblue and I modified his cupcake wrapper image and .xml file to come up with this:

I really never looked beyond spheres, cylinders, and boxes concerning this plugin.  There is so much more to it.

And we have Welshy to thank for it!   :)
