Energy Wisps

Image
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.

Signature Entry

Image
Just posting an update letting you know that I won third place in the competition titled Pertaining to a Lumberjack. It was a fun competition and it let me use some creative juices I haven’t used in a long time. Here is the sig.  I recently stumbled upon a tutorial on the Paint.NET Forums on how to make a wooden background, so I used that on the background of the sig. I then used black text and layer blend modes to make the burnt on text as well as the writing on the ax. Overall, I learned some new things and it was fun.

Big Jet from Little Einsteins

Image
Yet another image of a character from the show Little Einsteins. Thought this Thanksgiving week, that I would show my thankfulness by making these for my boys, who LOVE this show. After making Rocket, I thought, why not make the enemy of the show, who's name is Big Jet. I also made a coloring page of this, which can be found a while back on my Instagram page. Here is the finished image. Like Rocket, I started with an outline of Big Jet based on this picture , but was also going for making it more high def. I then filled in the color, and applied some of the shading after. For some reason this one wasn't as hard as Rocket, either because there are more straight lines, or because I knew more of what I was doing. Hope you enjoy this shorter post, and I'll see you here again soon. Happy Thanksgiving!
