moc426 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Very nice images. I like the first more. alright. i made two images using relatively the same method. actually the story goes that my friend and i were having a competition: who could create a cooler image. i was trying to prove that PdN was just as good as photoshop because he used ps and i use PdN. So, he created something like the two i will post and then i lost because mine was worse. i decided to try to make something like his and he gave me a hint so here are my results (yes, i like the top one more too, but it took twice as long to make and it had 32 layers most of which i combined to get an effect):1. 2. if anyone wants me to, i can create a tut on how to make something like the lower one.

barkbark00 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I figured I would try making an orb without the Shape3D plugin... I'm not sure everyone noticed that...:? Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 By the way, nice smooth edges on your cutout. Did you use an Alpha Mask for that? No, never quite got the hang of using the Alpha Mask. I simply cutout the image and feather. Perhaps I should practise using the Alpha Mask more often; might produce some even better results. Wow, that's a surprisingly good result for a feather!

I'm sure the Portrait effect helped here. It also includes a very soft blurring effect (softer than gaussian blur) as part of its image manipulation.

cjmcguinness Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 2. Framing Composition: Follow the Rule of Thirds to keep an interesting composition. This image was well-framed to begin with, so that's a plus. In the case the the image with which you're working is not, you may have to crop creatively or isolate and move the subject and replace the background. In relation to the compositional Rule of Thirds, I actually published a tutorial on that very subject in this forum a while back (went pretty much unnoticed). So, for anyone who's interested in aesthetic photo composition, as well as checking out the wikipedia entry, take a look at this tut - Cropping Photographs - The Rule of Thirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Sure, Shape3D makes it easier, but then the challenge becomes scene composition. Like so:http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewt ... 6083#56083 Thank you NICE job with the Portrait plugin! Glad someone is getting some use out of it. I use it quite a lot too All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Informative and well explained. Sure I'm a little late to the game, but I can still cheer for the team, can't I?

FireFly Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 This is a Web Template that I started today. Obviously it's not that complicated because I'm all but done. There is a tiny error in the image because the page was too big to fit on my screen at once. Any comments and feedback is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Playing around with abstractions again and came up with this image: It's along the fractal lines again, but this one seems a bit more "3-D" to me and a lot less chaotic due to fewer colors.

FireFly Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 ^^Huh? I think you mean artists.. Well I'll try and answer your question. I made all of the images and artwork you see in there in Paint.NET.

FireFly Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've got some abstract art for you... The fruit of my efforts when I was virtually the only one on. I'm not too proud though, because it was very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 inspired by the picture by naam (coloring in sketch) I decided to add to my background of oriental man a geshia girl from internet I found this image as my inspiration piece in the works but thought you might like a sneak peek first I traced face and hair on separate layers and colored on the outer dress i wanted to try a few things so its in several layers outline selected within outline of outer dress used a cloud (two shades of pink) another layer same outline of outer dress selected a semi transparent layer of clouds reseeded and more intense in blue and yellow) next layer with again still same outer dress selected a layer of text I used Rose Garden font. merged all the layers for outer dress. I'm not pleased with the fan layer yet so will be reworking that any suggestions for new tricks to try out.
