Image Umbrella: Abstract Images

[oma]

possum great secret now everyone knows. I like the use of a plugin you made. that is truly effective in that picture.

here is one I have been playing with. its an attempt to make felt/cloth texture. as you can see darker colors tend to look more realistic the light colors not so much. just love the redish pink portion it looks like there is a hole drilled right down into it.

@ Oma, It does look like felt or maybe even velor. Very nice use of colors. Beautiful !

@ Theonlychad , I commented on the serpent swirl in your Gallery , so mesmerizing :wink:

@ Possum Roadkill , gee I don't know any better .. I'm no expert it was just my opinion , so you've revealed your secret ..

@ Oma , wow !! :shock: such brilliant colors .. beautiful job ; you know you are so inspiring to everyone ..

That is one amazing abstract there, theonlychad!

Awesome flow, I really really like it

[Possum Roadkill]

Great use of plugins! The wire frame effect (can't remember the name of the plugin - pretty sure it's by Madjik) does a great job of adding to the sense of shape, texture, and lighting.

I think the sun should be in this kind of vector-ish style as well, instead of being blurred as it is - maybe running the Lightrays plugin and then the wire frame on it would get a good result.

Neat style, I like this!

Thanks, I tried to do the sun as a "vector-ish" but for some reason I couldn't get it to work out right. I've not used the plug-in much so maybe I was missing something. I think you are right though, it would look much cooler if it were that way. I guess I need to try it again. Good thing I always save the pdn file !

@ theonlychad That is a real nice image. Great texture to it. How did you do it?

@ nemo Love the falling water. very nice. I've been trying to work with water a little lately, but my computer keeps getting wet. Seriously, it is a really hard thing to paint. Seems like every image I have used water in, I have to use a different technique. For some reason, I can't seem to stop using the blue colors and get to a more realistic look like Ash does with glass. But then again, I didn't understand how to do glass very well either.

One of my newer abstracts, I have so much, it's difficult to pick them for my gallery

Scope

[Superferd]

O... nice! maybe add a border.

I call it: "painting for what you need those funny 3D glasses"

[APShredder]

That's pretty cool, but I don't know if I like the backround or the frame. The focal thingy is cool, but it's a little :AntiAliasingOff: .

Something I made early today. It's not done yet but I like it so far.

[sokagirl]

Wow !! :shock: Great job guys :wink:

@ FrontCannon , your abstract is shiny looks really nice .

@ Superferd , I think that would look better without a border .

@ ApShredder , Whoa !! That is awesome , how did you come up with that one ?

[APShredder]

@ ApShredder , Whoa !! That is awesome , how did you come up with that one ?

I think I did something like: Equations --> Twist --> Fragment, or something along those lines. :wink:

[theonlychad]

here is something i came up with today out of boredom...

don't quite have a name for it yet.

[aguba]

Pure win Chad. Pure win.

[007 Nab]

That, is awesome.

I realize it's probably just an effect that can be replicated, but it looks totally awesome. Such great depth and tone - very cool Chad!

[yellowman]

Some great work I can see in this thread lately:

@Possum Roadkill, That is nice effect, like the colors too.

@nemo, nice try I like it

@theonlychad, amazing 2 abstracts, both are great, especially the second one, it has an excellent depth, keep up good work.

@oma, fantastic as usual, so pleasant colors and texture, it is a great painting to puton the wall. I love it.

A lot of work but simple image:

Violet

[sokagirl]

I agree with Yellowman you guys are doing some awesome abstracts ..

@ ApShredder , that's cool to know I've never used that effect before .

@ theonlychad , wow :shock: that looks like a weaved basket .

@ Yellowman , totally tubular great job .

A minimalistic piece:

Rose

[Superferd]

That actually looks quite cool

[oma]

interesting use of polarinversion

here is one that has some advanced polarinversion

large size is in my gallery page 64

it is called "Sometimes Life is as sweet and honey and silky smooth"

[Superferd]

I actually didn't use polar inversion, i tried to replicate the effect but give it my own "look".

[oma]

really no polarinversion. explain how this was done it looks quite interesting . that centre portion looks almost exactly like a polarinversion. :wink:

[sokagirl]

@ FrontCannon , cool Rose

@Superferd , looks like Polar Inversion ?? Perhaps a combination of it ?

@ Oma , another beautiful piece absolutely love it .

[Superferd]

i started with bars then used gravity and a lot of other things, then i had a very long red stroke with pointy things sticking out i kept taking pieces of it made them round and pasted them on.

[sokagirl]

Okay , fair enough :wink: sorry bout the polar inversion ..

[Frontcannon]

I wanted to achieve something completely different this time, but this came out nicely, so here you go

The rest is in my Gallery.

[sokagirl]

@ FrontCannon , that looks really nice but a bit too dark
