PDN Fanatics

That could be a factor. Who couldn't look at the robot and think, " .#$@*!!"
Or it's possible, that I find the eyes of that blue one positively sinister ... in a good way of course

Is the face going to merge with the glass/ ice body you were making, one day ?

Seem in such a dark mood lately??....hmmm??


Just in case anyone wondering....this is the starting image for this piece, when all I wanted to do was mess around and do some testing...don't ask...another sleepless night. ZZZ..zzz.ZZZ....

I had wondered about the possibility of recreating a PDN Crystal Skull, i now see it is very possible

Ash...that skull looks incredible. It looks deformed, the kind you would find on an archeological dig, and I am reminded of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Edit: BTW, if you are having a sleepless night, it's because you are officially PDN Fanatic!

I think Lance had the word I was looking for...INCREDIBLE!!! (I hope you won't mind that I shouted it)

And to think it all came from that image. Wonderful shape .

ASH I left a note on DA but wanted to say I can now see the gass mask how it fits in there. and from the starting image i can get a better idea on the glass process.

the start image is wonderful hint.

ciao OMA

Thanks, AFG Anything is possible in PDN.

Thanks Lance, I thought I was already officially PDN fanatic 3 years+ ago.

Thanks HELEN! I always shout your name. (I usually try to follow however others type their own names...)

Thanks! Yeah, sometimes when you keep clicking, something unexpected will happen.

Yeah, I saw your comment on dA, ~~~Sorry??
TBH, I don't remember 1/2 the things I did..
ZZZ...zzz..ZZ....just a few more distorts....click click click...
Lesson learned: Never start any image(even if it's just for testing) right before sleeping.

Very good glass effect Ash on that skull, looks like a skull of a very old women, so it is ok if you don't put the teeth.
And of course if the case is drawing images like these right before sleeping , good I didn't see it last night just today morning or I would keep all the lights in my house and may be the TV on before going to bed.

Agreed with everyone else ... that is pretty amazing. And realistic.
To think it started from the original shape then developed into that ... frankly I'm not sure I'd know where to start. bulge and power-stretch ?

As for the sleepless nights ... I soon learnt to close PDN at least half an hour before going to bed

Thanks


Tons of power stretch..wait..No, I think I mainly used Point warp, displacement, some bulge I believe...of course always with the curves+, blending modes, gradients....etc...ah, even a little smudge here and there for touch ups.
Like I said before, just kept clicking clicking, and don't even remember half of what I did...lol

Ash, the master glass maker. Truly amazing.

Glad you like it, thanks

shows the true capability of power stretch and point warp

Hey Ash, where are you?

We all are missing your omnipresent on the board.
