PeterPawn Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've only been using PDN about six weeks. This image is the result of trying to figure out how to make the color of gold. Thanks to Oma for her very useful tips. I think I've finally got it. Suggestions please. Quote My devART Gallery My SIG Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janettsue Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 becauseiwantedto I think it looks a little like gold braid I have been trying a little tiling on pdn. I'm finding the shading the hard part. Tumbling Blocks Quote "One can't complain. I have my friends. Someone spoke to me only yesterday."

topezia Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A lot of very fine pictures, here. Love your artistic touch cjmcguinness, and Oma yes I am amongst the shiny fans and that is gorgeous and i.m.o. should deserve a place in the Galleria. Welshblue: I like the kiss of the Dragon! JanettSue : From the Impressionism (your photo-manipulation) to the Cubism period , it is lovely both for the colors and for the 3d look. How did you make those cubic shapes?

janettsue Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 PeterPawn I don't know how I missed your post last time I posted but wanted to say I think the spheres are cool. topezia I have been a Quilter for decades an there is math involved.(something that I am not very studied at) Tiling refers to the filling in of a plane with repetitions of the same shape so that no gaps appear. The result is called a mosaic or tessallation. Something I am sure you math wizes are familiar with as well as you artist with Escher and Penrose. Penrose has to do with mirror symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry. Sorry I'll stop now. It is just great stuff if you are into textile art. How I made the blocks. As a quilter I have been fascinated with how you can use the same shapes (much easier to sew together) and by changing the hue and so forth create and illusion. I don't quilt right now but there was a time I did all this on graph paper. What a time saver pdn would have been for me. The possibilities are endless Quote "One can't complain. I have my friends.

PeterPawn Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for your great remarks janettsue. I'm constantly experimenting with the color of gold, chrome and other metallic things. I also want to tackle water and Ash makes a great glass texture. Quote My devART Gallery My SIG Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 @becauseiwantedto: it looks awesome but... I don't like the colour, that looks like rusted copper, however that can be changed easily (atleast I guess). @PeterPawn: I love your gold like looks great, but I would change the blue colour and distort the tile reflection a lot more. @janettsue: It looks so realistic; you could post it at the realistic images topic, however because the main porpuse of your image is to fool the mind it doesn't look extremely beautiful. Now for a little coloured metallic polar inversion: I like the way it looks offcentered. plz comment. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time.

Boude Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 @Kemaru: it would look much better if you would have auto levelled it, please don't blame me for taking the privilige.

oma Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 now that would be classified as a matter of opinion. I liked the dreamy hypnotic quality of the original by @Kemaru but having said that the auto adjusted would be how I would continue with this one into a morphed abstract. ciao great work everyone! its just a little box I've been doing. liked the complexity of the pattern on pattern on pattern. I love the cream and black tiles. Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becauseiwantedto Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Found the tutorial after I found out how to do this Called it arteries, I don't know why. All of my images are symmetrical Ghastly ^^ Any thoughts? I am working on making 3D ice text, can't find a tutorial on it, can someone help me out? Search is not working for me.

Second is good but nothing compared to the first. I like them both, but the first one is better. Thanks I made them both useing the same process but somehow different outcomes. (And no I don't remember how I made them it was 2:00AM and I was half-asleep) ----------- More: http://i522.photobucket.com/albums/w350 ...

becauseiwantedto Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yay! (I don't know that it's abstract, but it sure isn't any of the other categories. @AullArkenbon: I didn't use PI on them, maybe the green/red one, can't remember how I made it, but I don't usually use PI for a lot of things. Well, I guess that some of my best use them... Oh well. Comments on interweb picture? Quote Changed the text in the signature yay! PDN gallery!

Goonfella Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Maybe it reflects the hidden crazy you! I call this one `Spooky' because if you look carefully you will see a face- well more of a mask actually but is there. I just painted some colours on the canvas,smudged,inverted and then flipped the layers a few times. Too easy really but interesting result.

Boude Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 @aull Arkenbon: try using tumbnails, in case you don't know how:http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26979 @becauseiwantedto: looks very realistic, just try using alpha masks, and personly I believe it belongs in the realistic part, if not then the compass alone would. @goonfella: It's not the best abstract of all times, but good effect, try using more colours, I think that would make it look better.

topezia Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 @becauseiwantedto: I like your arteries ,well not your actual ones, you know what I mean and also the compass picture which I agree with Boude fits more in the realistic section and yes follow Boude's advice about alpha-masking or use more the feather plug-in. @Goonfella:Not bad, but don't be afraid to use more colors/lights/blur/shadows and effects!

Goonfella Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thought I`d stay with the Halloween theme.Here is the same one with a few more effects including the use of Ash`s jewel tut for the eyes.
