It's been about a month since school started, and I'm sure that lot's of people are wanting to stay home and relax after a nice summer vacation. That of course, is not the case for many since school is an important thing since it will help you out later in life. I made this image a while ago, right after Dragon's Breath actually, and wanted to share it with you since I think this is a lovely image depicting my home town. I used Dents and Gravity for the texture of the red and blue mountains, as well as Gaussian blur and gradients for the 3D and shading of the mountains. I then used a lot of layer blend modes to get the texture and colors that I was looking for. I then added the sunset in the sky and darkened the image to show that sunset sort of feel. I hope you enjoy this image, not like most things I do since I make abstracts, but this still life was a cool experience that I may do again. Take care and I'll see you here soon.

This is one image that I wanted to do one thing, but then it came out much different from what I was going for. This tends to happen a lot honestly, but I kind of enjoy it when this happens since it creates something very unique that I didn't think about. I was in the process of seeing if I could create an image depicting my desert home, but I was a few effects in and it seemed that the feat for making an image like that was gone so I went with the flow. I now present to you the image called Dragon's Breath. Lot's of classic effects that I have used, and a few layer blend modes that I thought made the fire come out with brightness. I also used the Gravity Effect that I haven't really used very often, but made that rough look come out so it made it look like fire a bit, but no renderings for fire were used like my past fire images. As always, enjoy and stay tuned for another image coming to you soon.

School has started for most, and I'm trying to think of a good looking image to create for that. I looked up a Back to School color pallet, and found one that was a vintage color pallet, so I thought, I'll make a vintage image. As I started to mess around with it, it started to look not so vintage anymore, and more like an evening sky. My wife is great at coming up with names for my works, so I took her suggestion and call this one Evening Embers. Much of the same effects, but I did use Splintter as well as Crystalize in there. Although this is a simple image, I like the simplicity since the evening sun is a simple thing, but a very lovely thing as well. Hope you have a good day everyone, and I'll see you here in the next installment.
