Death's Flower

Image
I was wanting to make a dark image this time since I make a lot of bright images. I'm sure we all have a time in our lives where it seems that the darkness doesn't allow us to move forward with our lives. Either the death of a loved one, or a breakup, or some other trial that comes our way. I hope that this image can depict what that feels like in an abstract way. I decided to go with my classic black and red for this one and I give you Death's Flower. Classic effects used are Dents, and Polar Inversion as well as Radial Blur, and some new favorites such as Glass Vignette and Radial Extruder. I started with a Radial Blur, changing the center of said effect a few times, then did the same thing with Polar Inversion later on too. I would then flatten the image, copy that, and then do an effect or two on the full image in a new layer. I would then blend them in with Glow and Difference to keep the dark look. Enjoy this image and I'll see you here again soon.

Emergence

It's been a bit, but I'm still here. Had help with the title again on this one. I didn't know what I wanted to do with this image, but it was mostly a try at what I've done before with Radial Blur, which was changing the focus on the image depending on what I wanted done. I did that and more with this image, and so I decided that the title given was the best, so I kept the title of the image. I now present to you, Emergence, It kind of does look like something is emerging from somewhere in a field of energy when I look at it. Effects used here are Radial Blur, Gaussian Blur, and Glass Vingette. I then flattened it and copied the flattened image, unflattened the image, and pasted the image to it's own layer. I then did a polar inversion on that and applied some layer blend modes to make it look nice. Hoping this image finds you all well and I hope you have a great day.
