100 Styles 18 - Shadowy Creatures - 3D again

Another Pseudo 3D Effect (Click the image to see it bigger)

Played around a bit, and ended up creating another pseudo 3D effect, this time using the Inner Shadow and Drop Shadow to create a nice, soft look. Read on for more info on how it was created as well as to be able to download the style file to experiment with.

Pseudo 3D effect (Click the image to see it bigger)

Today I'm using a Drop Shadow to create a Pseudo 3D text effect, so shadow yes, creature no. Read on for more info about how to recreate the effect, as well as a chance to download the style file to experiment with yourself.

Experiment 125: Waiting for the storm

Created in Photoshop CS4 Extended using a Wacom Intuos 3

After seeing a tutorial I got inspired to create a drawing, and this is the result. As I really haven't done much like this I'm really satisfied with it. I want to add that I've "cheated" a bit when creating the lines, I took a photo of myself and traced which I used as a basis. Naturally I've edited the lines a bit, I don't have that kind of beard etc. I recommend clicking the image to see the larger version as some details are lost in this smaller image.

Experiment 119: Eternity stops time (longer version...)

Created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Wrote a little poem and thought I'd make an image as a background for it :-) The tip for how to make the clouds was found on Abduzeedo .

Experiment 105: Clash

Created in Photoshop CS3 Extended using a Wacom Intuos 3

This one really deserves the title experiment, it's nowhere near being a finished piece, but it was nice playing around a bit.

Day 59: Breaking apart

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Continuing this weeks theme with another fairly abstract piece :)

Day 28: Lightning

Created in Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Playing a bit with the effects and features of Artrage, took a few tries before I got it to be the way I wanted it to, but in the end I'm pretty satisfied with it. If I do something similar again I'll do the cloud in a different color from the background too, but at the moment it's a fairly nice effect that it's only the lightning bolt that is in another color.

Day fourteen: La luna

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

"La luna" is Spanish for "the moon".
