When thinking of what to do next for an artwork, I thought long and hard and decided to give the color pink a try. I decided to pair it with white since the Energizer Bunny is pink and white. I started with two sections of pink and white, and got to work creating the image, not knowing what the outcome will be, but when the outcome was manifested to me, I felt satisfied. When I looked at it more, it reminded me of smelling roses when I was a kid at my home, hence the name Smelling Roses. I did the classic Radial Blur smoothness you see, but started with some frosted glass effects to smooth out the Dents before applying the Radial Blur effect. Not many more effects were used, I did a lot of layer work here more than anything, but I think the outcome was good. What do you think of when you see this image? Do you think of roses too, especially when you look at the swirls in the image? Let me know if you'd like, but I'll have something else up for you here regardless. Enjoy!

I don't know where the title of this came from, but when I was creating this, I thought it looked a lot like blue and green flames there in the background. I did a lot of manipulating of the layer blend properties to get the colors just right. I wanted the image to be dark, but to have the green and blue "flames" to come forward in brightness. I believe I have succeeded in that feat and present to you the image Flames of Truth. Classic favorites of mine used here, namely Dents, Polar Inversion, Radial Blur, Gaussian Blur, and a bonus Glass Blocks. I took two sections of color for the start, which you can see there in the middle as the blocks of color that represent the flames as the start, manipulated it to look like flames, duplicated, merged, and distorted some more. At one point, I duplicated the original layer, flipped it, and then manipulated a bit more. Hopefully you enjoy this image. Hopefully you enjoy the content and I'll have something new for you her...

Hello everyone, today is the Fourth of July, and here in the United States, it is the day we celebrate our freedom. To portray this in an abstract way, I took some of the well known patriotic colors, and made an image with them. I don't think it's my best work, but it's my first time making something patriotic. Not saying I'm not patriotic, I just didn't know what to do with the colors here and how to blend them together in the best way, so here is what I've got. There's some Tile Reflection as you can see (which is something that I've steered away from for a long time), Radial Blur, Polar Inversion, and other effects that are hidden because of the Radial Blur. There are aspects of some of the style I had when I first started, and some of the smooth style I have here as well. Nothing too special, but I did want to show my patriotism by creating this image. I hope you enjoy. This has given me an idea for a future project I may do which is making im...
