Kerry Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello, all. I'm finally getting around to posting some of the pieces I've been playing around with. This first one is a the result of a happy accident with Madjik's Radial Colors and Kaleidoscope. The blue one's my favorite. It was the first one, and the best, I think.

Kerry Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Here's one I could use some help on. I'd like the sword to look fairly realistic, and I haven't managed it yet. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELEN Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I love the flowers!!! How'd you manage to do the leaves? If you don't mind, could you please list the steps?

topezia Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 "This first one is a the result of a happy accident with Madjik's Radial Colors and Kaleidoscope." I think that is much more than a happy incident, is a very well done job, neat clean and really cute! p.s.: for the sword you might try some of the tuts about brushed metal I think (there are more than one, latest one is from Ash) Ciao ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisedMaverick Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't know how to help you with the sword, but I think those flowers are awesome. Can't wait to see your other projects.

Kerry Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Try experimenting with blend modes for the sword. Will do. Thank you. I love the flowers!!! How'd you manage to do the leaves? If you don't mind, could you please list the steps? Thanks! Er...there were a bajillion fiddlings on those, and it's been a while since I made them. :? I think I started with a curve, duplicated and flipped the later to make the outside shape, then filled it with a linear reflected gradient...but it looks like I put another curve down the middle and blurred it because the gradient didn't give me a dark enough line. I did lighter lines around the outside edges to add more dimension. From there, I distorted; they're all the same leaf, distorted differently. I played around with bulge, twist, and sine waves. I think that is much more than a happy incident, is a very well done job, neat clean and really cute!p.s.: for the sword you might try some of the tuts about brushed metal Thank you, and good idea. I think those flowers are awesome. Can't wait to see your other projects. Thanks! Wait--I'm supposed to have other projects? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi, all. I've been poking away at a sword, little by little. I can't for the life of me get a blade I like. :? Here's one use for it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELEN Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The cereal box is awesome, Kerry! I like the "falling in" one, too. It scares me a little, though. It reminds me of the time when I was drowning. *shudder* Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
