Description
I thought I would turn my hand at something different (for me at least).....and came up with this.Rendered in 3DSM6 and everthing else in PS with brushes from various people (I'm sorry I can't remember exactly who, but if you recognise your brush then note me and I will edit this to give credit).
This is my first mainstream effort at an abstract and I'm not sure its verys good.....it just seems to lack balance in my opinion, but I can't work out whats wrong....
I hope someone likes it though and as ever abuse/crit/comment/whipping is welcome if not compulsory

very interesting piece, I love the colors chosen and the style
The only thing that don't fit to me is the light in the center of the circles, I think this could be improved, maybe the color or else..
To me it differs to much with the rest of the pic, maybe because it looks like a lot to the basic lens flare
anyway very good piece to me !

Thats because it *is* the basic lens flare

very good first go at this sort of thing , i have been wanting to have a go at one of these myself
i dont think i would have lost the lense flare myself as it adds to the affect , in a very nice way and brings out the colour of the intire peice may be all you needed to do was turn the halo off then it would seem a more intergrated part of the work . i like the 2D work too its an awsome first attempt i look forward to seeing more ,

thats a very NICE render, good job with the "ghost" effect you obtained by duplicating and lowering the opacity of the render in the background, damn sweet

I think the general concensus is that the flare is bad thing

Oooh, different.
I think your balance problem could be a middle-ear infection... or a hangover from making too many symmetrical things in 3DS.
Anyhoo, I like... v. much. Good colours and general PS messing. Nice techy brushes in the middle.
I bet the title's a Hitch-hikers' reference.

Damn - sprung
I didn't think anyone would get the HHGTTG reference
Glad you like it, and I hope the next one is as good

If you really MUST have balance, you could try a symmetrical abstract like some of mine or ~pictoratus '. They're fun to do and you don't know what you're gonna get.

Ooooooo shiney! I like!
I've started one already but I *might* just have a go at a sym piece later

Good, it'll give me something to look at instead of this piece of crap in front of me!!!!

Erm... I just realised how that sounds. I meant the piece of crap I'm working on,... ahem.

That's a real neat looking abstract. I like how your design uses hard corners where as most other have soft rounded edges. Just something I noticed that make yours a littl emore unique.

really nice

Hmm very intresting, may I ask how much of this is 3ds max? ^^
Its very intresting... looks really cool.. looks very high tech ^^
Altho i think the lens flare would have looked better behind instead of in front in my opinion...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The main object is basically a blown up mesh in 3DS and thats it. All the background and brushing was done in PS.
I would have agreed about the lens flare but you couldn't see it when it was behind the mesh. I think I should have done a better job of that I admit...
Thanks for the comment though
