Happy Halloween. I hope tonight is/was a good night for you all. Once again, I used the old Paint.NET on my older computer, but added some of my new favorite effects to use. I created this as a photo manipulation of Halloween Wolves that I made about two years ago. I then created a few new aspects of it to give you what I have here today, which I call Halloween Mist I was a bit lost in the making of this image, and it took longer that I care to admit honestly. I finally got something that I liked and it still felt like it was missing something. I then saw an eye and decided to play with that idea. The green could be the mane of the horse, while the purple is some stray mist as well, but not sure what you think of that idea. Should I rename the piece? For now, it will be called as it is. I'll see you here next time.

So a nice little surprise, but I'm going back in time with my style here. My other computer was unavailable so I used one of my older ones and lo and behold it had Paint.NET version 3.5.11, which means that some of my long lost favorite effects called Radial Blur Deluxe and Zoom Blur Deluxe still work on that version. For perspective, Paint.NET is on version 4.2.1, so the version I used to make this image is ancient in comparison. Anyway I wanted to make a nice fall image, but didn't know really where to begin. So I went on Google and got a nice dark autumn color palette, and got to work on what I call Autumn Awakens. I only used three colors in this image, and very minimal effects and layer blend modes. The colors I used were a dark orange, a dark brown, and yellow, and the effects I used were as stated above with the addition of Dents and Gaussian Blur. I flattened the image and kept working on the image as a whole to get the effects that I wanted as well....
