Slipstream
It has been a ride to say the least. The last year and a half has definitely been some difficult years, but hopefully things go better. Sometimes we may feel that we need to just fast forward to get through life, but things may just need to slow down for us in life so that we can enjoy the here and now. I'm hoping that this image can kind of capture the need to just pause and reflect on the world, even if we need to get into a slipstream to speed us on by. The middle area kind of reminded me of a slipstream, hence this is called Slipstream. The center was created with a teal color, adjusted with Radial Blur, Dents, and Zoom Blur, and blended with Additive. I then did dark teal, light blue, and light dark blue for the outside using Dents, Gaussian Blur, and Radial Blur, blending them with Additive, Negation, Darken, Glow, and Reflect. I also used Polar Inversion on the middle part, used the Zoom, Tilt, and Pan tool to zoom it out, and again used a mix of effects to blur it out. Hope
