Description Walkthrough to my piece Mercury .
I hope it will help some people get new ideas and perhaps learn a trick or two.

I kept it fairly short because I did neither want to go into the really tiny details nor elaborate on Apophysis or Illustrator. These two programs were only used to generate stock of sorts, therefore I think it's not all that important (and not interesting either, cos I'm pretty much of an amateur in those programs anyway ).

Just keep in mind that this is supposed to trigger your imagination and not lead to a dozen mercury pieces

If you want the brushes I made from the curly stuff, they can be found here [link]

Very nice technique. I love the way you implement the "vectors" (i know their just brushes and rasterized layers).

Great job and great color scheme!

That's very cool! Well done!!!

Unfortunately, I only use Photoshop so I might have some trouble for the other parts. However, I think the smoke effects may also be done in Photoshop by means of plug-ins (ex. sinedots found at [link] )-be patient to play with it to get the right one!

For those interested in a good website for plug-ins resources check out ThePlugInSite [link] It may help you to find your way for that!

might work, but I'm not a fan of plug-ins myself

I'm really cautious myself too! I try to check them with other users first-I'm worrying about my pc's wellbeing!!!

Thnx for replying!

it's a pretty cool program - though pretty different from working in PS... takes a lot of getting used to
