oma Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 thanks for saying so. Wish I'd had a bit of actual art training. Mainly self taught. I do read a lot of books. LOL! Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survulus Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow, you have to be one of the best abstract artists on the forum, it's all done so well.. and I love how your images that are focused around an object as well, liek the flower and people pics, I dunno what exactly it is, but they have a certain charm to them. Not to mention, the ammount of qulaity work you have here is amazing! Quote Check out all my newest stuff on my dA I iz bassist here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlissC Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 BlissC I've added darker shadows under the grapes that ought to help weight them down to the table so they don't seem to float away. Yup, them grapes have stopped floating now! :wink: At the risk of repeating myself again though....WOW! That really is awesome OMA!!!

oma Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 hubby says I'm carrying a suitcase for a handbag now. Now wonder my chiroprator bills are so high think I'll have to buckle down and work on some sort of mini tut to share some ideas of how to go about an abstract. that's of course after I finish the one on the pear. Having a heck of a time knocking that down to something less than a zillion steps. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Congratulations, oma! You definitely deserve all of your awards. Especially the Big Bird award. _____________________ I love all your work, especially the index page banner. Great job with the placement and the concept!

Especially the Big Bird award. _____________________ I love all your work, especially the index page banner. Great job with the placement and the concept! Was the man in Evil in the Night inspired by Indiana Jones? thank you Kemaru, the big bird award to me is the best one of all the awards. I'm glad you liked my index banner, I agonized over which pictures to show, I wanted a real variety, and think I acheived that. By the way all of those were done by moi! I think the only ones I used outside source was the polar bear, (I hand drew that) and the scenery of the lake with trees (I took that picture myself) and played with the pastel plugin. The man in Evil in the night came from this question on the forum. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=22158&hilit=drew+struzan I still think of it as one of my most challenging pieces. I think I really learned on the fly on this one. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've added a simplified version of doing the Pear in the tut section. Hope this helps some of you get going. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28453 ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I really love the fruit pics, especially the pineapple. Great stuff.

oma Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 thanks Goonfella you might be interested in the new section I just added to my index on page 1 Where I raid my trash bin. some pretty wicked (bad, terrible) images. My horrible mistakes. Just started it with one image so far. But it should prove to be a real eyeopener for some. OMA has to work at this the same as everyone else ..... and not all of her pictures are for public consumption. ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survulus Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Amazing new abstract piece,Ireally like the lighing and colours of it, they really give it a sense of atmosphere, to me at least, which is always very impotant in pictures. Yet again you've shown everyone that you're one of the best abstract artists on the forum. Can't wait for more. And I quite like the idea of a "blooper real" kind of section. Kinda funny looking creature there. Quote Check out all my newest stuff on my dA I iz bassist here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 quick someone bring the smelling salts. LFC4EVER just got a case of the vapours. @Storm.shadow thanks that is very nice of you to say that. All I can tell you is it takes Practice, Practice, and more practice. Don't get discouraged if what you make doesn't always turn out how you wanted it to. That's why I put the "Oma's Trash bucket section in my first post (at the bottom). Not every piece I make looks great, some are way better than others, but some that don't look so hot taught me more. come back any time. ask what ever you wish about the pictures. If I remember what I did or even roughly what I've done to make a certain thing I'll share. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 "she makes my heart sing" EDIT I guess I should put in the inspiration. I was listening to a J Hendrix tune "Wild thing, you make my heart sing" and as usual in my off tone voice I was singing at the top of my lungs the WRONG words !
