Julio PDN Pics

Here are some of the older things that I've done. They aren't as good as the newer ones that I've done, but oh well. This was back when I still was trying to figure things out on Paint.NET. This first one I made pretty much by accident. I didn't know that it would come out as an eye, but it did. I call this one Eye See You. Kind of a play on words. This next one I didn't really know what else to do. I like how the blue came out, but not how the fire came out. I would have left it without the fire, but oh well. I call it Iced Fire just because I think that's what it looks like. This next one is called Venom just because that shade of green to me looks like poison or something. I almost did call it poison, but decided that venom sounded better. I'd appreciate comments from anyone if they have suggestions, constructive criticism, questions, or just a comment about my art. I hope that what you've seen here so far. More art to come soon!!!

I've had this galaxy updated, but I haven't posted it so I shall do that now. All I really did was add some "tails" to it to make it look a bit more realistic. I'm not really sure what more to do with it except for call it done. It still doesn't look the best, but I'm not really sure what to do with it. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Testing to see if I can comprehend this. I am Heat Stroke, Julio's friend. We have been learning Paint.Net together, and improving very fast because of the tips, critiques, and help we give each other. I will post pictures later, hopefully...

So, sometime soon, my friend Heat Stroke will be posting some of his art on here and maybe even some stuff that he tweaked that I made. I can't wait to see his stuff on here! That's about all of the stuff that's happening. If he publishes, you'll see his name at the bottom of the post instead of mine (Master Julio). I hope that you guys enjoy!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I hope that this is something that will make that come true! It's a Christmas ornament that I made just yesterday morning! I didn't really do too much except for Zoom Blur Deluxe and Kaleidoscope and that's about it. A bit of Polar Inversion to make the background, but aside from that, that's about all. It didn't come out how I wanted it to, but it was still fun to make! I will be coming out with more soon! If you like this, or have suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment!

This sig was made a bit with a tutorial on the Paint.NET forums and a bit with me just messing around. The tutorial called for the smudge tool which doesn't work on my Paint.NET for some reason so I blurred the render instead. The render is from a game called Starcraft 2 as well as the text in the bottom left hand corner. I'm not sure how this looks or if I should enter it into a sig battle or not. Trey has told me that it looks pretty good, so I may take my chances. Any comments or criticism is welcome!

Sigs, incase you guys are wondering, are signatures that are pictures. I entered my first sig ever into a sig battle, which is where two people enter a sig and people vote on it, and I won 3-0! Trey helped me out quite a bit to make it brighter, but overall, I made it. Here is the sig that I entered into the battle. I may enter another one into the competition, but I need to look for some pictures first. I hope you guys enjoy this picture!

Hey all. This post is to show off my awards that I got from Paint.NET for AOTW. The green one is a third place Jewel and the red one is a Second Place Jewel. I'm also putting the pictures that I got the awards for. Third Place Forbidden Jewel   Third place for AOTW #13 which was last place. Oh well, it was still fun!  Second Place Forbidden Jewel  Second place for AOTW #14! I'm getting up there!!! I'll post a page of awards just for the fun of it! Enjoy for now!

Okay so I told you about the AOTW and how it was a competition! Okay so I got 2nd place with the picture that I shall put below. This competition needed to have the effect Polar Inversion so that's what I did on every layer. I call this Ice Inversion just because it looks like an icy color and I had to use the Polar Inversion. I'm happy with what I got out of it and I used a different skill in making this picture than I usually do! Thanks Trey for the advise!

This space scape is one that I've made a while ago, but have never put it on here. I was going to do other things with it, but then at the end I decided not to. I've made a lot of space scapes I know, but they are really fun to do! Later on I may come up with something else but for now this will have to do. I hope people enjoy this picture. Comments would be appreciated! 

AOTW, standing for Abstract Of The Week, on the Paint.NET site is...you guessed it, another competition I put myself into! I hope that you like what you see there! The link is right here, choose the best one and comment on my blog which entry when the competition closes! After the competition is over, I shall post my picture up on my blog. May the best picture win!! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20272-aotw-14/

Hey, welcome to my new and improved blog!!! I changed things up a bit just because I was getting bored of the old layout. I hope that you like it as much as I do!!!

I'm finally posting my galaxy attempts that I have done. I'm not sure if they are very good so if anyone notices a change that I need to do, tell me. I'm trying to improve my art and telling me will help out a lot!!! The one above is my first attempt at this, but I think it's pretty good for a first attempt. I made these without the help of tutorials so yeah! Trey helped me out with it and told me what I needed to improve on it. I tried different things on it, and finally decided that I needed to start over from scratch, but that on top was the end result! This next one is one that I made from scratch using slightly different methods than the one above. This one is the newer one that I made. Not the best I know, but what the heck. I'm still trying to improve it. I think that it's a bit too bright and that I need to tone the colored area down on the light a bit. Aside from that, I think it's okay. Any constructive criticism is welcome, just leave it in the

Okay, so here is the Luckey Number 13 picture that I entered and I got 3rd place!! I think that's pretty good for a competition. Anyway, now that the competition is over, I will post my picture here so that you can see what it looks like from here without having to go to the Paint.NET forum. That's it, and I think that it was an interesting sort of attempt. It was a bit challenging to make it look how I wanted. I wanted it to look like a crystal ball with the 13 inside as well as some clouds. If you like it, leave a comment below!

This is an older picture that I made a while ago by accident. I used the Kaleidoscope and Fire!! plugins. It turned out to look like the Biohazard sign so I just had to keep it. I'm not sure what else to do with it though. It is considered unfinished since it's plain as plain can be. There it is. The way that I made it by accident is that the Kaleidoscope plugin doesn't allow me to choose a certain shape to come out so this is really an work of art that can't be duplicated! I hope my readers enjoy looking at this blog and that they keep supporting it!

Well, pretty soon after the competition on Paint.NET forums, I will put my picture up on here and see what you think, for now though, you will have to look at them yourself and see what you think of the competitors! Underneath the rules are the pictures so go and look at them and decide which one's the best! Website is: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/20086-aotw-13/

To all that have looked at my blog, thank you!!! I hope that  you like what you see here and I'll be improving my art as I go along! I hope that I get more people looking at this as time goes on! Pretty soon I'll be posting another space scene, but not like the ones I've already shown here. Thanks again to all of my readers!

The lost flashdrive has been found once again so now images will be moving back and forth much easier than before!!!! More pictures to come on Monday!

Hey, here's a new picture that I just finished! It's a Red Glass Orb and I call it...Red Glass Orb. Haha!! Anyway, it wasn't as hard as the Jewel, but it was a bit challenging since what the tutorial said made it look a bit different so I changed a few things up! This is it! I hope that you enjoy and I'll be back with more creations when I get around to making more, haha!!! I may make more soon just because Trey has told me to try some tutorials to improve my art skills, and he's right!!! (Tutorial was provided by xmario on the Paint.NET forum.)

I've been busy making new art and I came across a tutoral on the Paint.NET forum and it looked awesome!!!! First before I show you the actual gem, I'll show you the picture that I started out with. This is the Sombrero Galaxy and I decided to go ahead and use this as my starting picture since the tutorial called for an outside image! I made the gold stuff that you see without the use of a picture, but from scratch. The glossiness of the Jewel I added as well. I call this picture, Jewel!! This was probably the hardest to make because you have to be paitent with the program, and save it. I also had to stop and look at the tutorial a lot! Then the background took a long time because I wanted it to look unique and not like everyone elses! I think that I succeeded!!! (Tutorial was provided by barbieq25 on the Paint.NET forum.)

I've been messing around with planet making on Paint.NET and this is the earth like planet that I created. It didn't take as long as the other space scape that I made, but it did take a bit of creativity. The inner atmosphere was the hardest part because I already put clouds in the planet itself, but I didn't know that it would affect how the atmosphere would look like so I had to make it a bit dimmer. The sun also took a bit of trial and error because it wouldn't come out how I wanted it to. I finally got it to work and added a moon just for the heck of it. This might be it for a while unless my friend tells me that I have to make more. I might make more just for the fun of it because this is something new and I want to experiment with it!!!

I know that I already published my newest stuff on here, but I just want to show some of the older things that I have done. The one below is a picture that I made right after graduation from my school and I sent it to everyone from my school who gave me their email address at one point. Our school colors were purple and gold. This next one I made a while ago. It was about a year ago that I made it and it was before I had the fire plugin. I call it Fire Explosion. I know, it doesn't look like fire at all, but oh well. I used what I could to make it look firey. This one I had the fire plugin and the background is fire as well. I made it a contradicting blue with red, or cool color with a warm color. I call it Cool Fire for that reason. This last but not least was made last December when it was cold. I call this one a simple three letter word...Ice. How exciting right!? I will be posting newer pictures as soon as they are made. I don't know if I will post any space ones or not,

Hey! I just recently made a new picture with the help of tutorials given to me by my friend. It's a space scape which is really cool how he figured out how to make it!!! First though, I had to make my starfield with a sort of space cloud or nebula. It was pretty fun and it took some trial and error, but eventually I got it to look like what you see below. Okay so I got the nebula and cloud in, but that looks too plain and dark. I then remembered that he also sent me a tutorial of how to make a planet. This also took some trial and error, but I eventually made the perfect planet. I then wanted to put some rings on it, and also wanted to perfect Trey's design on them a bit. I added the rings and made them look different than his, but they still look a bit weird. He then told me to add some back light and the results of about 3 hours of work is what you see below! I hope that I am able to make some more pictures to put up here soon. I may make more planet ones, but we'll see w

I finally have access to my pictures, but I'll show you some recent ones that I haven't shown before. Two of these are assignments that my friend Trey and I have given each other, and the other one was just for fun! This first one was an assignment that Trey gave to me. He said to make what I thought it would look like inside an electrical wire or cable. This is what I came up with using my new Lighning effect for the electrical current. Then after that I gave the assignment to make a picture of what it would look like inside of an atom. I used the Lightning plugin for this one too for almost all of it except for the backlight. This third and last one, for now, I made without an assignment from Trey or myself. I made a different one but Trey told me that it was too flat and that I needed to change the point of view. In this one I didn't use the Lightning effect, instead I used a gradient and then used the Fire! plugin. I call this one Fire Jolt. I will be coming out with mo

Sorry about the long time that you've been waiting to see some new pictures. My flash drive with all of them is currently missing and I can't seem to find it. More to come soon.

Okay, so, so far I've shown you older ones that I made right, well, here are some that I made this week, and some that I made this morning. This picture has a story behind it. It was the first one that I made that looks like that, and I made it as an album cover for our orchestra songs that we played throughout the year. My Orchestra teacher puts them on her website so yeah. The Three Shades of Blue was a pice with three movements that her husband composed so that's why I put that as the theme. This one was made right after the orchestra one. I wanted to experiment a bit with my new method. I did the multiple lines across the picture and that's what is new about it. This one I call Red Reflections. This one is the one that I made for my dad for his birthday. His favorite colors are blue and green so that's why I put those colors on there. It's great! This one I made just this morning. I decided to try a few other things with the lines in front and other things tha

This is going to be interesting because I will attempt to put a moving object on here. It's pretty small but oh well, I think you'll find it to be awesome. I call them emotes because, well, that's what they're called. This little guy is supposed to wave so yeah. This is just a test so lets see how this works.

I like fire, so I decided to make some fire ones just because! I made these a while ago, but what the heck. I like to show them off anyway!! This one is my older one called Fire is Power. It was the first one that I made with the FIRE! plugin that I got off of the Paint.NET forum. This one I made a bit later when I had more experience with the FIRE! plugin. I think that I like this one a bit more. A secret is that I didn't use red at all, I actually used a light blue. It gives the fire a bit more of a glow! I may try to put a gif of this picture in so that you can see for yourself!

Hey, these are just some pictures that I created using Paint.NET. I've created a whole lot more, but I'll just start with the first ones that I created. This is the first one, and I know, it looks like crap. My friend that introduced me to this program told me to keep adding to it, and that I did. I eventually ended up with what you see below. A lot later, I decided to modify it again, so yeah. Here are the results.
