Dancing paint figures

[wizard509]

I did this from a Photoshop tutorial. There are slight differences, some on purpose, the tutorial called for a plastic wrap filter which as far as I know we do not have, so I just didn't use one. I could have done that part in Filter Forge but I wanted to all I could using only XP&GD9.

WOW!
That's so cool.

Excellent rendition with Xara!! That PS tutorial must have been fun too.

[wizard509]

Thank you Rik and Myra. Yes it was an interesting tutorial.

[Ron Duke]

Very interesting and different. Nicely done Larry.

[wizard509]

Thank you Ron.

That is definitely very cool, Larry.

[wizard509]

Thank you gray. When I saw that tutorial I thought it was too and something I wanted to tackle. I found another too hope I can manage that one as well.

Nice one Larry, that delicate fractal kind background also interesting.

In the tutorial the bottles and figures were given as base maybe bitmap or you had to draw also them and shade with Xara fills and transparencies?

[wizard509]

Thanks cshez, What I did was cut out the bottles and altered them some to get a better contrast between light and dark, I may have cloned them and changed the brightness and contrast then applied a linear transtarency to remove what was now a very dark top. That was pretty much how I did the whole tutorial, cutting out the figures, then coloring them and increasing the brightness. Basically I just did whatever was necessary to get the look I was after. Even though it was a Photoshop tutorial this was done only using XP&GD9 with a few slight alterations that I thought would make it better, and added an extra line. The visible lines were converted to shapes and given a linear fill then a linear transparency.
