Preserved Topic: make it (week22) ~Repeat Performance~ dino flagellate cyst

Back to the electron microscope

Have fun

I didn't quite know what to make of it... what was the original actually?

anyway, it seems I'm still having alcohol remain in my bloodstream... wouldn't usually draw demons...
here it is.

so long,

That is the origiinal. It`s a scanning electron microscope image of an extant dinoflagellate cyst.
really.



Everybody has the right to no taste

and an extant dinoflagellate cyst is what?
sorry, but my english is lacking here, the only part I understand is flagellate which would be one of those wiggly thingies bacteria use to get around.
(and I understood the picture to be the original one... just phrased my question incorrectly. sorry.)
(edit: fixing my horrible english... using adjectives instead of adverbs looks bad)

so long,

Tyberius Prime

Filters of Death





Everybody has the right to no taste

Hey Tyberius:

Since I still have alcohol in my blood stream too ( ), I'll tell you that "flagellate" can be a verb in English, and nice boys don't let bad girls do that to them! (Except under special circumstances on weekends.)

Wooo hooo

Hee heeee

If I were Allewyn, I'd be snorting some liquid out my nostrils just about now

Originally intended to be in a cockpit, but the cockpit turned out even worse than the rest of him. Added a couple of background elements to get the idea across. I don't know, maybe he's waiting to scramble? Not intended to be photorealistic, by the way, but all criticism welcome. This was my first one done hands-on, except for the sky and the grillwork, and some slight effects around the goggles. I could have done the grillwork without filters, too, but man, that's a hard habit to break.

This is, shall we say, "idiosyncratic" at best, two weeks ago I couldn't have imagined doing even this much. You gentlemen are inspirational, and between all the general tips being tossed around, and tutorials by Steve, DL-44, and DarkGarden among others, I'm learning rapidly. (I can only pray that my work will keep pace with my theoretical knowledge.) To think . . . I thought I knew PhotoShop, at least on a basic level. You know what they say?the fool knows little and believes he knows much; the sage knows much and believes he knows little.

I like how the text fits into the mosaic pattern. The whole thing suggests a low-res monitor of some sort, with just a little distortion. The red-blue blur is quite pretty, and it's pleasant to look at, but I'm not sure you were going for a soothing effect. The creature itself is a bit too abstract to hold any sense of menace for me. It looks maybe a little like some microbe, a little like a spaceship, but unless I knew in advance that I was dealing with a creepy alien threat, I'd spend more time squinting at it than running for my life.

Figure out what kind of menace you're going for and play it up.

space

Yup.... photorealism at it's worst!

I try to take just one day at a time but lately several days have attacked me at once !

CPrompt: Lovely buggy. Just perfect!

Liluth: Thanks! You really like it? I did some work on it last night and it looks a little better. I don't think many people liked this pick but I think it yeilded a lot of potential.
I just wish I had more time to do the Repeat Perf. It can really help your PS skills.

roll up ! roll up!!! Week 23 is this way ----> poketh here <---- ~Vp~
