Julio PDN Pics

Just so you all are up to date, I opened an Instagram where I have been posting some of my images from last year. I’ll be using it to give you all some sneak peaks at what I’ve been working on and possibly post the full image that I’ve been working on there before anywhere else. Follow me at juliopdnpics.

I was going for a Valentines Day theme with this image at the beginning, then I realized that it was similar to other images I've made. I decided to make the heart look a bit dead since Valentines Day can be a sad time of year too. Some people may not have a significant other to celebrate with or show their appreciation. Worst case senario, a couple breaks up on Valentines Day. I made this image depicting just that and I call it Dying Heart. I created the background using the same effects as always, but a new effect is making a debut here called Glass Vignette. I also have Dents, Radial Blur and Polar Inversion in the mix. The heart I made by making half of the heart, duplicating the layer, then flipping it. I then erased imperfections and there you have it. Enjoy that rendition of a Valentines image and I hope you are all happy and well. I’ll see you here again soon.

Here I have another type of stone for you, as well as attempt two. I did say a while ago that I would make stones, but I guess I have them spread out here. If you look at Elemental Power of Stone, I used the same tutorial that I got from Heatstroke a while ago to create that as well as this image. I also needed to rollback the version of Paint.NET on one of my computers to be able to create it since some of the effects needed don't work on the newer versions. I digress though, you are here to see the image that I call Agate's Heart. Zoom Blur Deluxe, and Splinter are some of the effects here. I also played around with some of the effects here and modified the tutorial so that it would meet my needs better. I think it came out looking pretty good. Once again, I have these smaller ones for those of you that don't have dual monitors, but if you would like the full dual monitor image, you can click here to download it. Let me know if you want me to continue creating im
