Well, I made this one today, but I had trouble naming it. Finally decided to call it like I see it.
I was trying to get those crazy colors to show up again, but no luck. However, I did manage to get a nice range of creams and browns with these. These were also made from photos of my little dog’s fur, but the colors are highly “adjusted”.
These darker colors required multiple layers and multiplied blending, but then I had to do some overlays to get the outer ring on the central medallion to show any definition. I think they came out nicely for a range of cream/red/brown.
Both versions came from me trying a different technique with the ‘scoping and layers. Took a bit longer, but it was fun to play. Tomorrow is back to work… ::sigh::
I’m thinking about making some more backgrounds for a while. This is by no means getting boring, but I think I want to change it up just a bit. I’ll see what I can come up with tomorrow… After work, of course.
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING WITH AN ODD NUMBER OF POINTS/SIDES, LIKE A NONOGEN OR PERHAPS AN ICOSAHEDRON OR EVEN AN UNSYMMETRICAL PENTAGONAL DODECAHEDRON. KNOCKING OUT THE SYMMETRY IS THE HARD PART ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE ALL OF THE R O Y G B I V COLORS (7 OF THEM) PLUS BLACK AND WHITE MAKING 9 COLORS THE ODD COMING INTO PLAY! THAT’LL KEP YOU COGITATING FOR A WHILE! :>)
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NONAGON INSTEAD OF NONOGEN.
Yes, I can make them with anywhere from 3 to 50 sides/points. If I wanted, say, a 9-point ‘scope, I’d just set it for 9. But in my experiments, I’ve found that I prefer even-number-pointed shapes. Just my personal preference. I like the 24-sided 12-point star shapes for a specific reason (that I might share later), but it’s easy enough to turn a polygon into a circle using a circular selection tool in Photoshop.
