Image Umbrella: Abstract Images

[007 Nab]

You think you're gonna color it? make it all awesome and glossily gradienty?

Yes, I just wrote glossily and gradiently.

[-Expiration-]

Definitely going to color it.

[Crimson]

Nice one. Reminds me of my Echo imprint design....cept yours is cooler. :wink:

Thanks Crimson.

I just finished doing a quick color job on it but at the moment, I am too lazy/tired to upload and post it.

hi i'm new to the forum hope u like my work. 100%pdn

p.s I might add text to the cloud.

[oma]

Yes! this is so very sophisticated

excellent very graphic in nature.

I'm off now to see if you've started a gallery, if not then you should.

ciao

[oma]

this one is called "Evolve"

as usual larger version is in my gallery

"who said Oma was all sweetness...?"

[olav.k.m]

I like it a lot. It has got that typical "oma-style" to it, but is still something new.

Was "painting" with the smudge tool. Got lazy though, so it's not finished and will probably never be.

Guess it's not completely abstract, but isn't very realistic either so...

named it "dark angel"

[Crimson]

Love the hood part.

[007 Nab]

You're getting really good with the smudge tool - like Crimson pointed out -the hood is really good - which shows that you can be both smooth and "spiky" when smudging.

Very cool job on this piece.

[olav.k.m]

thanks guys

will see if i feel like finishing this later, but doubt it

Hi people, Iam totally new here. I have joined the forum to share some of my paint.net pics to support this community. I'm a big fun of this awesome project and i really believe it can become widely used for all kinds of graphic work one day and maybe compete with such programs, as PS or GIMP. So here is my first attempt, hopefully you will like my amateur pictures:

[Ash]

Very nice for your 1st post.

And welcome to the forum!

[007 Nab]

Very good use of Zoom Blur - I like the lighting in it!

And welcome to the forum

[oma]

slamxcz that is one great first post. have you a gallery set up yet? I'm off to search for it now if you do.

ciao

here is my Sunday morning play. sorry folks no explinations on this one it was just play. the large size is in my gallery.

[KonArtist]

This was something that I made a very long time ago. It helped me learn how to use curves.

[slamxcz]

Thx for comments

Unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I want for playing with graphic. Thus I'm not too productive author. But despite of this, I have a modest profile on Humanart, where I am publishing my pictures. Here is my last picture called "Underwater":

[janettsue]

slamxcz nice images

Polar inversion play

[oma]

@janettsue I love it! polar inversion! my fav!

and @slamxcz the underwater one is fab only it reminds me of those jack frost icecrystals on the window on a cold winters day.

very soothing.

ciao

[oma]

sorry for double post but as its a new day here I thought new post was just fine.

(whats up with the time of my posts ? its really early morning on the 17th and my previous post was late last night on the 16th? )

here is something I've been working on.

100% Paint.Net

I've never experienced going thru a hurricane, but the pictures on the news have touched me deeply.

I tried to capture what I thought the feel of powerful wind forcing water inland would look like. The breaking glass from the high rise buildings, pieces of the walls blowing away. Just general chaos of nature gone mad..

My gut impression tells me my fear would be so very overwhelming in this situation, I hope I managed to capture those thoughts in this abstract.

[007 Nab]

I like this piece a lot.

It shows you have very high control over your abstracts.

The grey in the middle looks like the buildings, with the white-blueish sweeping them away.

Very cool color choice, I think this is one of my favorite abstracts from you.

EDIT: Grammar fix

thanks nab tends to remind me of my being swallowed by Moby Dick picture. same sort of color scheme. but done in a totally different manner. The use of strong linear hard looking gray and soft aqua curve combination works gives a good artistic tension. and a sad feel.

I'm extremely pleased with this one. I'd been struggling with the flyaway building portion until I read the request for ideas on how to make sheared edges. That was the clicker on how to complete this picture using gravity, seismograph (spelled wrong I'm sure) and loads of bevels and releifs.

[MarshmallowGherkin]

So I recentley stumbled upon this application and have become addicted to it... and I've only made three pictures so far. Those pictures I just generally goofed around with until I had something that looked kinda cool. Here they are, except for the first one, which I don't have anymore.

The Second Image I made:

The Third image:

[KellyB]

MarshmallowGherkin ~ I really like the first image - it looks dreamy-like (or what my dreams look like!)

This is my first post in the Pictorium

I'm a newb to all this but I've been following lots of tutorials and am enjoying learning.

I followed a tutorial by MadJik and added a load of my own bits to it...I like the outcome so thought I'd share it here. Sorry if it's a bit amateur!

Let me know what you think? e.g. Are my eyes sooo blurry that I'm seeing good when it's rubbish?

[MarshmallowGherkin]

It's better than mine... but then again, i didn't have any method of creating them. I was just bored and started goofing around with the gradient fills.

It almost looks like there's a face in the middle of yours. Hidden in shadows.

Creepy... and cool.
