All 100% Paint.Net other than the foreground trees. http://drydareelin.d...seids-419404017 A recent image, and an attempt at realism. I don't do these too often so I thought posting here (also..) might be a nice change Edited December 12, 2013 by Drydareelin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulioCoolio 135 Report post Posted December 13, 2013 I really like your image! I'm especially impressed with the space scape in the background and how realistic it looks! Really amazing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mystical Burrito 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I tried doing one of my usernames in 3D using the drawing in 3D tutorial with changes to the process. I then used the trail tool to add a shadow. For a more professional look I added a white to light gray gradient, and then I used the grid tool and angled it to match with my text.

Ishi 192 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 I am new with Paint.NET obviously but I managed to create my own Christmas Card. I had to draw every single detail. Its 100% PDN. And Merry Christmas everyone.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishi 192 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) That's really beautiful, Ishi. It's well-done. Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for the compliment Helen. I appreciate that very well. At least, a real PDN pro noticed my greeting card and think it ain't so bad. Thought I'd make something that suits the holiday so I designed that. Merry Christmas to you too!

HELEN 358 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 I wouldn't call myself a pro, but that's one fantastic-looking card. How long have you been using PDN for? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishi 192 Report post Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Dunno, maybe over a year with PDN but not much toying, not serious, only sometimes until last June when somebody on Facebook asked to me design a banner so that's when I became more familiar with the tools. I got serious, did my experiments with 3D art, primarily relying on stuff like Gaussian Blur, Gradients, Bevel Selection, Outline Object, Drop Shadow, Shape 3D, Clouds, Dents and AA's Assistant. Those are the things I used to create the greeting card objects. I had to manually draw a lot with a brush and the line/curve tool. I love what I did with the bell, the gingerbread and the snowman. Thought I'd impress my Facebook friends with it... Edited December 25, 2013 by Ishi 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red ochre 1,567 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Ishi - Excellent work! - we are encouraged to give 'constructive critism', but I can't see any obvious mistakes and all the separate elements work well - so I'll just say well done and wish you a happy new year.The Mystical Burrito - great user-name!You have matched up the angle of the text with the background very well. Possibly some subtle shading at the base of the trailed letters would help the text sit more naturally on the background? - But generally very impressive!I made this entirely with Pdn - experimenting with Furblur to make the sea (quite easy) - Sometimes looking at things for too long skews my judgement - does the sea look at all convincing?And yes, it's meant to be bleak and grey - inspired by the stormy U.K. weather! http://i.imgur.com/xAbaKSR.png 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,486 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 One of the finest images I've seen here for a while. (Including my own ) Fantastic colours ' Quite Easy' ? In that case you won't mind putting together a few pointers. Selfishly asking that 'cos I'm currently working on a ship image and that type of sea will be perfect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red ochre 1,567 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks WB - I will try to put a basic tut together tonight.Trouble is, whenever I start writing one, I get distracted and end up making something else! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 946 Report post Posted January 4, 2014 Red, a fabulous image! Very real. Definitely convincing! At first I thought it was a photomanip. I love the way the rays come down too & the bright spot. Thank you also for taking the time to write up the tute. Looking forward to seeing the ship Welshy.

MikeRobe 36 Report post Posted January 15, 2014 Hopefully this isn't too big - a HUD from an alien telescope of the Earth...what are they planning to do? For the earth I found two images of a daytime and a night-time and used the translucency gradient to mix them together, but I had trouble keeping the lights while making it dark still. Never mind, still has a nice effect I think. Better watch out for 2019 then eh? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,486 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 :MoveLayerUp: ... Very nice. I like how you've put all the different components together to make a very effective whole I've been experimenting with clouds and had a freaky accident I thought turned out quite well. The background is a gradient with 2 layers of clouds on top Ominous ... http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/027/b/7/ominous_by_pdnwelsh-d73zo3l.png 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
