Possum Roadkill Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 @ emanda1964 Wow ! That is so beautiful ! I noticed that you don't have a sig or avatar. You might consider using this image to fashion a matching set. @ Yellowman, You never cease to amaze me. Beautiful and intricate images. Stunning ! @ Frontcannon Nice image. Very stark but bold. Nice use of red as contrast. I would like to see more of the interior (small middle) part in the lower right. It looks very detailed but is small for my old eyes. @ Goonfella, I downloaded the Drost plug-in and this is my first attempt at using it. I was playing around with some of the abalone texture and messed it up. I didn't want to throw it away because my wife said the colors were "pretty". So this was my salvage attempt. She liked it. That's enough for me.... Quote My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontcannon Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 oma, your picture reminds me of some strange alternate dimension hyper space continuum. Definitely an abstract that's worth looking at! My newest creation resulted from me playing around with some stock images I had. My intention with this one was to create an atmosphere that represented the music this logo stands for (DnB), that means loud, fast and a somewhat agressive touch Quote Night Vision Text Effect Tutorial Gallery reddit.com/r/futurebeats | My Mixcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Dude, that would look so much better without the face in the middle! :shock: Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 But that would decrease it to a simplistic "fiddle-with-effects-picture" Quote Night Vision Text Effect Tutorial Gallery reddit.com/r/futurebeats | My Mixcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 But that would decrease it to a simplistic "fiddle-with-effects-picture" I guess so, but honestly it just looks kinda random and a little tacky...

A Fleeting Glimpse Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 DarkShock : Like the effect achieved , the colouring sets it off and gives it depth This is an abstract i put together trying to achieve a glass effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well.. I can't seem to find a suitable approach to criticise your picture It looks strange.. it looks illogical, difficult to describe. It doesn't look like something at all. And this is not meant offensive, it just underlines the effect your image creates in my mind: confusion With much imagination, this reminds me of a toy under water. There's this childish, simple look to it, though I believe that it took your long to create this image, glass effects aren't easy Some 'lenses' look like seashells, though. Maybe you could make a gradient in the blue background to give the water (?) some depth. I call my image Blitzball, which surprisingly means lightning ball.

person_321 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 ^ | | that is pretty cool. I have no idea what this is bu in the backround, it gives the effects of shadows. And I added some water reflection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Fleeting Glimpse Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Frontcannon : your remarks are far from offensive strange, illogical, difficult to describe, confusion...just the way some abstracts should be and the effect they should have. Like the Blitzball person_321 : That would look great framed and on a wall Welsh : strange enough i had friends staying who just happened to be West Ham fans like the piece and makes me think pendant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokagirl Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 @DarkShock , very nice . I love the color and the depth . @A Fleeting Glimpse , love it . Reminds me of something cool on a hot day . @FrontCannon , that's a neat lightning effect . @Person_321 , wow , this reminds me of a mysterious tunnel . spooky @Welshblue , your work never cease to amaze me . Beautiful Well here's my snakeball , don't know why I call it that perhaps it was the color and pattern of it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Fleeting Glimpse Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I can see where 'Snake Ball' comes from the centre reminds me of Rattle Snake skin, not that I've seen many and the ones i have seen are in the reptile section of the zoo... which suits me just fine your coming up with some nice textures and effects...

Frontcannon Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 To me, it looks more like a basket-like texture with a worm-hole in the middle But it's not chaotic at all, it has this superb order in it, like a fractal.. Good job! Quote Night Vision Text Effect Tutorial Gallery reddit.com/r/futurebeats | My Mixcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokagirl Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 @ A Fleeting Glimpse , Thank you very much . Actually I came across it by using the sphere texture .. @Front Cannon , well everyone has a different out look on things but thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonlychad Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I like that frontcannon but i have something you could add. You could make the water reflection a red hue. That would look cool imho. But altogether a great concept. Edit: Also you could possibly add flames to the skull side with some clever layer blending Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

oma Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Frontcannon that is a thought provoking abstract. It has the elements of contrast white vs black, good vs evil., but there is not enough spark. It just requires some tension. That element of surprise. Like one of the others suggested one way is to introduce one contrast color. red is a predictable, but safe color choice. perhaps some pattern ? I think the good needs to be more joyous and celebratory, the bad more somber. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thank you all, I'm going to try and realise some of your ideas Edit: Done Better result? And mind the paradox symbolic function of the cross: it simultaneously stands for heaven and death, redemption and loss.
