We need some more views to see the distortion. The Flemish artists and others I am sure had discovered this technique. This image by Hans Holbein for example has a diagonal shape that when viewed from the right angle is a skull
salvador dali anyone...
Dali is surrealism, Steve. A totally different genre though I would not be surprised if he did a few of these.
An on going experiment Gary. The original photo can be all important. Haven't found a really great one yet. The elongated image is the one that's printed then laid on a worktop and photoed from a low angle.
Thumbs up (since this is not Facebook)
Still not 100% there. Thanks for the original link Gary, not the same type of Anamorphic Images as your's but it gave me an avenue to explore.
Surrealism is a genre Gary - Anamorphic is a technique - or so they told me at art school all those years ago...Quote:

myself I'm rather fond of the snappily entitled: Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln [which I got to see in a gallery at Bruges, mind you twenty paces, let alone metres, back was an issue because people kept getting in the way as people do :D] - but is that anamorphic in the true sense... leave that up to you - if you want a breakdown of that technique here it is: http://www.scottmcd.net/artanalysis/?p=1131
I don't know a lot about Photography [or even Graphic Design] but I know a bit about Art ;)
Nearly there. Could have used a better image for the top of the cube....
I can certainly see the perspective shift egg...
be useful to have the original link[s] I would have thought... ;)
Not understanding you there HDQuote:

I think the link to the Colossal article which is here https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2018/...cts-by-odeith/
And here is one of the images (all done with cans of spray paint!)
While there is tremendous dimension and depth to this image it is painted flat on the wall.
Have a look at some of Stefan Pabst's artwork on youtube. The man is a genius. I have no idea how he can see what he draws. Especially look at the glass of water ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgzTWKwH7ak
Yes, I watched that a couple of days ago. Absolutely stunning! Green with envy!
thanks Gary :)
Keith that glass video is excellent, so clever - and it reafirms my long standing descision to stick to cartooning ;))
Hmm. I don't see a skull. I see a compressed image of possibly 2 women. With today's graphic distortion features, cannot such an image be "unfolded" to better display it's original?
well as I understand it the skull is looking straight at you.... ;)

Well you guys certainly got my interest in the technique. Thanks Gary and Egg.
quite impressive to see the actual Holbein and the effect coming to life when you look at the painting in a certain way - mortality hiding in plain veiw and then suddenly, jumping out at you :D
Well done Steve.
thanks :)
not difficult to do in any version of xara except of course ver 15.0 [it would have been a good example to put forward when we were making out the case for putting that right I think]
No longer an issue in v15 either HD ;)Quote:

I did say any version other than 15.0 egg ;) - fixed in version 15.1 yes, thanks to those of us including your good self and I who put forward objections and examples in the 'megathread'...
No you didn't, you said the opposite ;))
No he didn't, he said except 15.0.
Ah! I see HD Keith is talking specifically re 15.0 ;)
Oh stop it! :rolleyes:
A pretty good idea with these images. How are they printed?
Hello Gregnison and welcome to TalkGraphics. It's 'fairly' straightforward and if I get the time I might create a video tutorial.
