Instagram

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.

Watermelon Tourmanline

Hello everyone, it's been a while, but I'm back with more art in the coming months. If anyone is an avid viewer of my blog, I'm sorry I took a while off, but I'm happy to say that I feel pretty decent again. Art is typically my therapeutic realm since I use my brain in a different sense than normal, but my job for the last year has definitely taken a toll on me, so I had to step away for a while. I'm back now with a new image titled Watermelon Tourmanline. Since the company I work at changed their name and logo, I decided I’d use the logo colors for this. I also darkened the colors so that they are not the exact colors so as to not run into any issues. I started with some of the green color on the left and applied my classic Gaussian Blur, Dents, and Radial Blur, then did the same thing on the salmon side. I then flattened the image after taking the black background out, copied the image, un-flattened it, then pasted the full image on a new layer. At that point, I a...

Energy Wisps

It's getting harder to get images out with everything going on at home. I'm trying to get some done, but I'm backed up on requests and personal projects that I'm doing what I can for now. I made this as a therapeutic piece since I've had a lot going on, and I call it Energy Wisps. Nothing crazy here aside from the usual Gaussian Blur, Radial Blur, Dents, and Polar Inversion. I did add some Frosted Glass and Crystalize effects in there to add a bit more texture on the bottom left. I also used Additive, Glow, and Negation layer blend modes to blend it together. This was a photo manipulation of the NCIS Soundtrack artwork found here . Sorry for the short post but I'll see you here next time.

Ocean Spray

I’m back with another work, and I’ve been getting inspiration from album artworks on the colors to use since some of them just look nice. This one is no different than Somber Rage in that sense, since I used colors from an album artwork to start with, and by that I mean I used two colors and went from there. After some time, I got the end result called Ocean Spray. I again used colors of an album artwork that I like and have been wanting to use those colors for a while. Again I used the classic effects I typically use which are Gaussian Blur, Dents, and Radial Blur, but then I added a Motion Blur in there. I then also flattened the image, copied it, and added that to a new layer, and did Polar Inversion as well as Tile Reflection. The layer blend modes I used throughout are Additive, Lighten, Color Dodge, and Reflect. Additive and Lighten typically brighten the colors, while Color Dodge brings out some of the brighter sections of the image. Reflect then also dampens the image a bit, so...
