Happy Holidays

Happy holidays to everyone! Since Christmas is upon us, my sister wanted to make a Christmas ornament on Paint.NET, so I made one to show her how to make one, and I thought to keep it and share it on here. If you look at some older posts, you can find how I did most of the effects since I put it on here a while ago, probably at least 2 or 3 years ago, but don't quote me on that. Here it is.


I've also decided to make something else other than just an ornament, so I made an image that I call Holiday Lights. I have two different versions that I like so I will post them on here and see which one you guys like. Personally, I like the second one, but both have qualities that I like about them. Here they are.

Holiday Lights II

Holiday Lights III
Yes, they are called II and III respectively since I made a first version but it had a bit too much green in it for my liking. The third version also has a bit too much green, but it looks brighter and that's the main reason why I like it as much as I do. The second version has more balance between red and green and the center looks warmer so hence I can't decide which version of the two above I like the best. If any of you want to leave comments on what you like the best, that would be great! Enjoy the images and Happy Holidays to all.

Stone Head

Awesome artworks as always Julio! Here is something I am working on: The head was made in a program called: Sculptris, the stone texture was made in Paint.Net, and the moss was made in Photoshop (but I added it to the head in PDN). I still dont like the moss... I need to change something, and I still need to make a background. So this is still very much a WIP (work in progress), but I thought I would share it with you all.

Left Behind

Wow, I haven't posted here for a long time, and I started this blog too!!! That's sad, but oh well, never fear, here is one of my newest space scapes!! I made it for the SAC (Space Art Competition), and I got 3rd place! Not too bad for doing this for the first time!!! I really enjoyed this competition and I think that I've learned a lot from it!! Everything in the picture was made on Paint.NET except for the bigger ship. Pretty cool, and no, I didn't make the award, haha. I hope to get better and get first place on the next competition! I hope you liked the picture that I made as much as I enjoyed making it!! Feel free to comment as usual!

Fractal

We will miss you Julio! I have been working increasingly with Apophysis 7x, and this is my best attempt so far. It takes my computer for ever (about 5 hours) to render a single good quality fractal... The colors were heavily manipulated with Paint.Net.
