Possum Roadkill Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 My current avatar: Click it for full size, I made it big and resized it to avatar size. Be sure to zoom in all the way. That is the best chrome piece I have seen in a long time. Chrome stuff is my favorite. How did you get it so realistic?

UGAdawg591 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It all kinda happened spontaneously I was expanding upon a tut and ended up wit an image that had some basic colors in it. I used the "solarize" plugin and then the "inside out" plugin and ended up with THIS Then I used the "extract channel" plugin and picked the "red" option. At this point in my pdn career, I just follow my instincts and stop when it looks cool Quote --> My Gallery<-- "My, what a good day for a 'let it slide'."

I like it more in small view though because there are some flaws that are very visible in large view. But the thumbnail looks sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swalski Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Now, I have a dilemma. I don't know wether to use my current sig. Hidden Content: Or it without the background on. Hidden Content: What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swalski Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks Leonte. Initially, I thought it looked better with the back, but looking at it now, I think you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemaru Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Whew, this took a while. I was done with the smudging when I noticed it needs something. So I took a Halo render, resized it and pasted into the sig. Then I panelled it so that about 50% of the helmet is on the edge. Then I duplicated the layer, flipped it, merged it and panelled it into the middle. Then I resized and adjusted the colours a little and voilà! Swalski: I like the one without background more. If you spent more time on the background it might be better.

TopHATslash Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 2nds my fav, though i really dont like how you have the helmet like that. exact V flow isn't very appealing, because it looks like a mirror. try putting the render in there how it was when you downloaded it without the mirror effect.

Kemaru Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 SOTW theme was symmetry, so I thought I'd mirror it. I have to thank you for this tut you made, I got the idea from there.

If you spent more time on the background it might be better. Keep it up Sexy sig, and for once I think the black bar idea didn't seem out of place. Here's my submission to the Space SOTW. Used the planets from my latest creation and put them into a different setting, with a bit more editing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I like the atmosphere on the planet, though the one on its moon doesn't seem quite right (A little too blurry IMO) The stars look awesome by the way - I mean the nebula - nice and crisp - I'd like to know how you did that. Great job Sozo. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!
