PDN Fanatics

Thanks, Chad. I imagine that there will be a few of those coming up.

, I am really so amazed with your clean work, last 5 images are fantastic, all are beautiful, but my favorite from this set is the Baby Dragon's Ball.

The new style backgrounds have moved your work up a level , wonderful work and like Sargon i love the drogon ball

I agree with everyone (and I don't say that often ) great job on all your new pieces.
I especially like the green wallpaper one, nice glassy gobe.
Some bright colours can lighten up a dreary day Thanks

Thanks, Sargon. The little dragon's hand was hard to do for me but I think in the end it turned out ok.

AFG, thanks & pleased you like the Baby Dragon's Ball too.

Welshy, I love colour esp. purple, pink & blue. In the past much of my work was monochrome but since working with PDN, I notice I am using more contrasting colours. I've used the Green Theme Wallpaper (must re-name that one) for a folder cover. Prints well too. Your comments mean a lot to me. Gave me a laugh to when I read that you usually don't agree with everyone...I mean anyone would think you're a grumpy old man

The positive comments mean such a lot to me since they come from very accomplished artists.

I have uploaded a whole pile of work since we have yet again blown our download limit & I did this at work. Not the best way to do things...one or two at a time is much better.

If I could just remember how I did the gold ring part in the Pearl Ring piece I'd be happy. I get so into the art bit that I forget to write things down & my memory is not nearly as good as my forgetory - bummer!

I've made comments on other posts but I think they have done to that black hole, so I hope this one goes through.

Heck! You`ve been busy! Some lovely new images there. I think the stained glass tulip is my fave but they are all excellent!

Beautiful work, Sunless sea and especially Stain glass tulip are stunning (ive put it in my personal favorites folder), as for not remembering how you created an effect welcome to the 'how the *** ** did i do that' club

@ Goonie - yep, I have. Don't watch TV & no study to do, can't garden at night Please you like the stained glass.

@ AFG - I am honoured to have my work in your favourites! I must confess that I have Blame it on Pink Floyd in mine. Good to be in the same club. The company is there is very good, you know

The lighting effect on the wings of the WOTW Entry is wonderful and the texture of the unnamed butterfly wings also, but what i was thinking is if you remove the wings and raven writing from the raven work you have the base for a excellent and tranquil night scence

I agree with AFG, but I'd like to add in my own words that the butterfly is stupendous! I like how you have your images, either butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects outlined in gold. It adds a very nice touch to them. The colors that you choose are soothing. I really like the raven one because first of all, it's a pretty cool idea, and the background is so calming. I like your work!

Great glass butterfly on the dark wallpaper. Tile Reflection is a much under used plug-in, with the right colours it gives some awesome results.
Glass butterfly is awesome too, great texture on the wings. Elegant butterfly is .... elegant The fretwork/ brocade style flutterbye is a great touch alongside (can't think what the term is ) the bejewelled one.
Caged raven is great, not so keen on the 1st raven ... just my head process but I'd have gone for the r a V e n text as the wing span and body.

Excellent again, Barbie' ... RE: the grumpy old man bit up there somewhere ^^^ ... my son would agree, apart from his paper round this morning, football training tonight, he's just had a lecture on how 7 hours on the PS3 isn't the way to spend his school holidays .
One I could have handled better, I think

BBQ! I can't believe how your skill have gone up a notch! It is now official you don't need tutorials to guide you anymore...you just create, and keep on creating. It is magical to see you soar already. Totally loving your latest pieces on all of your latest work.

@AFG - Thanks & I agree on the idea of the night scene. Got me thinking about perhaps doing a ghost ship to go with it.

@HELEN - Thank you I like the gold outlines too...art is my escape from the harsh realities of life. Besides, I am a bit of a bower bird, love shiny, bright things

@WelshBlue - I love the tiles reflection plugin. It does give some great results.
Whilst working on the Elegant Butterfly, I had the two butterflies swapped but I thought it looked unbalanced, so I put the filigree one on the bottom right & felt it looked better. Someting about balance, unity & leading the eye, I remember reading...That's what I love about digital art - if you don't like it you're not stuck with it.

Great idea on the raven text...will give it a whirl too.

7 hours on the PS3 - I'd have to agree. Got one here that has an umbilival cord attached to a screen. This latest generation should be called "screeners"

@Lance - thank you...The comments, help & encouragement I've received from all of you gave me wings.

Thanks for all your comments & glad you like the images too.

Magical work Bbq. As Lance said , there is certainly no need for you to be following tutorials! I think Caged Raven is the best as well and your butterflies are beautiful.

Awesome new stuffs, I like the shapes of the butterflies,the grid and tiles of their wings, are really nice, and also like the dark theme of the ravens, great job.
