I continue to pull this image up and rework it, this is the latest. Hope you like it.

Very Tim! Beautiful.

I like it very much Tim.

As Gary said, your style is very distinctive. I like the feeling of an inner glow from the small globes. Great use of reds too.
Lovely stuff, Tim.
Saludos,
Bob.

A beautiful image, Tim.

It may just be me, but, the front right yellow orb's reflection seems to be a bit off when compared to the reflections of all of the other orbs.

I really like the 'spongy', 'grainy', 'bumpy' effect on all of the glowing orbs. Is the original XAR file like that or is that a result of the bitmap export? If that is by design, would you mind sharing how you created that effect?

Keep up the good work,
Harry

I like that Tim... Very well done.

Thanks all for your nice and encouraging comments.

Hi Harry... Sorry I don't give up my .xar files but my work is so simple I can't imagine anyone really needing them. Here is a small tutorial of the "glowing orb's" as you can see, really simple.

Nice one Tim.

Tim,

I was just asking if they really looked like that in the original XAR file, not for the file itself. I know sometimes that when the files are exported, squished, squashed, uploaded and displayed in a browser they can look somewhat different than originally intended. I couldn't really tell if the orbs had a 'texture' by design or not.

Thanks for posting your latest image and the subsequent tutorial. My go at making a glowing orb per your instructions is attached. Teach a man to fish and cook and all that.

I took some time to view some of your other works. Truly inspiring. I'll have to study them a bit more later on.

Again, a hearty thank you,
Harry
