"Brew Ha Ha"

I used the shareware Raster to turn a gradient or two into halftone dots.


My Best,

The merging wasn't painful was it?

It produces a different effect from your standard drop shadow. You learn stuff by signing up for free graphics and fonts, and you never know when some fresh, new technique comes your way!

I'm truly blushing right now from your post, Gray!

Again, until (or if) I can independently get a tutorial area going somewhere, it's what I most enjoy doing, and seeing a "student" outperform...

I confess that I use XD's Shadow tool when I'm in a rush to get something out the door that needs to look great.

Now, if you want to try this Shadow Jazz by hand, I've attached an XAR document...

Sorry, but the MAGIX XDP tells me nothing, not the version number, not even a decent legible "X"! :)

I'm using rev 15 and rev 17, both XDP X. So my own icons.

Awww, shucks, t'weren't nuthin' (scuffs sneakers together, hangs head and blushes).

Trivia about this short: the owner of the place actually had several franchises, lived in Florida (we shot here...

I think the lighting, which is all LED, corrupted the true color of the green, Boy. It's more like billiard table felt green.

But I DID experiment several years ago with green screen material, and...

Oh, I agree. It was my way of giving our the paint strokes, if truth be known. Someone didn't understand what an EPS file is, a long time ago, so what I did was use P'shop to write it out as a...

I have very little idea why PANTONE skipped right past the year 2021, and went straight to Spring/Summer 2022.

Whatever; Here are most of the colors in a XAR file.

And as a little bonus, I...

I asked The Admin whether I could start a blog on tg.

She said no.

So instead, when I have content to share, I'll post it on a new Xara Art Gallery of mine, along with the piece.


Bouton's...

I am among many, many Americans, completely ignorant of any country that is East of our Atlantic shore. :)
I also do not speak Russian.

I know how to Google translate.

But my mother is...

Ahhh, why not?

I did not see it yesterday, and as a Mod I can see what's deleted, except when a member self-deletes a post.

Hopefully, Igor, if this is what you posted yesterday, I am flattered and hope you...

Igor flattered me this morning with a PM that contained Robert Indiana's sculpture, except he spelled out GARY !

I want to return the flattery, my friend!

You are a great artist, and a great...

Thanks, gray!

Shortly before Robert Indiana died, a shell corporation tried unsuccessfully to claim ownership of his LOVE sculpture. After a little research, I've concluded that the sculpture and...

Hi Igor!

DMesh Fun=YES!

BTW, there is another fun and useful program that is good to use in Xara whenever you need a steam effect.

Escape Motions Flame Painter.

All this is, is a set of extrusions.

Okay, okay, the background is a painted-over photo and the eyes are drawn.

I'd be somewhat happy to post the paths in a Xara file. Let me know.

I've been working on this on and off for more than 8 years, and I'm tired of trying to refine it!

I used Poser's Winter Queen model as reference, and curved a flat texture of a brick wall to get...

Wonder no longer, Larry.

DMesh for Windows, totally free

I literally just bumped into these comments, Larry. I'm not sure why I'm not getting notifications in Outlook.

Off to investigate!

Thank you!

I like to share what I create, and for as long as tg is around, it's a good and positive place.

I'm flattered/embarrassed you feel my work is inspirational.

My mission statement...

Yes, I based the polygons on the freeware program Dmesh, which, if you've ever tried it, requires a lot of patience and just as much tweaking before exporting and svg.

I actually didn't need a...

Hey,

Our new neighbors next door have a tot that they casually referred to as "The Little Monster".

Nice, huh?

Anyhow, I created an image, mostly inspired by the Pixar film Monsters Inc. the...

Barfing out loud!

(BOF!)?

Thanks!

Here is one that is only partially mine. I discovered the original, scanned at 1 bit per pixel, too small for just about anything. There is no copyright; I...
