did you use dodge and burn?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DarthAcey In reply to ChipsXT [2011-06-23 21:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Just to get a highlighted 1 pixel edge in places with the dodge tool.

And the rings on the bottom half I used a fair bit of burn to darken them down.

What Graphic User Interface forums are tutorials would recommend to achieve some of these effects? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Great peice by the way, the orb in the middle of the composition was done really well.

DarthAcey In reply to Exanity-0 [2010-01-27 23:27:38 +0000 UTC]

I love orbs, its about the only thing I can do really well in PhotoShop.

I am part of a forum which focuses mainly on interface design, which includes web pages as well [link] . Called GuiStation. Which is where I pretty much learn to use photoshop.

This piece was truly experimental and a test of my ability, so unfortunately there's no tutorials on any aspect of it.

But join us at guistation, post up a project and we will help you where we can to achieve your idea's

DarthAcey In reply to The1Blur [2009-07-09 10:56:01 +0000 UTC]

Even though my opinion is bias, I still think it makes a pretty damn kickass wallpaper. And I would think it would go with alot of themes . Still my current wallpaper.

Think maybe I should introduce some different coloured versions.

I had a little play around with the colours yesterday. A nice light blue came up the best. But the red looks better than the purple, green and orange

What colour is your gf's theme?

The1Blur In reply to DarthAcey [2009-07-11 19:46:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh well that was handy then .

I normally stick to blue designs. This one originally started out blue, but then I changed it after the gf comaplained I always use blue

asherzgfx [2009-04-10 06:53:32 +0000 UTC]

great work, I love the wallpaper but as previously said you can still add to that plasma detail and work on that a little more and maybe remove the background pattern But other than that the main orb area is awsom.

DarthAcey In reply to asherzgfx [2009-04-10 08:13:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh so you dont like my background pattern now? First person to mention it .

Not sure what else to do to that little plasma piece. It started out blue.

asherzgfx In reply to DarthAcey [2009-04-10 12:23:27 +0000 UTC]

mm I dunno, thinking about it I dont really mind the background pattern, as for the plasma, you could maybe have a look at a nice deep red gradient with a strong white highlight ontop and turn it into a kind of glossy material

Just a few thoughts.

DarthAcey In reply to asherzgfx [2009-04-12 15:55:29 +0000 UTC]

AsherZ there's always something I could have done differently. The plasma is actually blue, I just used a screen modifier. I know bit of a shortcut for getting it done properly.

It was either the plasma or a my formula 1 picture .

I did actually consider a glossy material at one point, but I suck at trying to make something look glossy most times.
