Hi All
Just playing around with blends and cloning of blends and ended up with these examples of rather irradescent flowers.

I must chime in here. Years ago we used to store pepsi (or coke) products for years then chill it and drink it. It was always fine. You can't do that anymore. It not only goes flat, it's...

Finally got some time to get back to Xara today. Here's the results. I always seem migrate back to the technical type illustrations for my best results.

Thanks for the example Raymond.

And to Matelot, you are right "A Bridge Too Far" was a story about WWII not Korea like I was thinking. I Stand corrected.

If you guys like animations you should check out this site. I just ordered two Music DVD's from there. I saw a DVD showing in a model home I was going through yesterday and had to run home and...

Hey Master (Ray)
I'd like to make a suggestion for the hair. It looks like you are using a plasma or clouds fill in a transparency to give the sheen and shadow effect. Perhaps if you were to...

Thanks All
That's all a horse can do is try. I'm trying to get practice in several areas to get a good feel for various techniques and capabilities of Xara. Thinking about drawing a colorful...

My first attempt at drawing the human form (well a hand anyway). I think "Thing" was the hand on Adams Family (or was it the munsters?).

Ha thought we were going to Korea didn't ya? Actually a hand project (pool bridge) that I'm working on. I'm having a lot of trouble making the wrinkles in my hand look like wrinkles. They keep...

This work that I just started was inspired by Raymonds Hand.xar posted in the Starburst Effects thread. I already had the cue ball from another project and made a psuedo Simonis table top to draw...

Love it. Might be fun to add a middle step in the evolution by adding a cacoon between the butterfly and the larvae, Of course a cacoon is going to be bland by comparison to the before and after...

Awesome!
Chuck

Yes, Parahandy, that's what I'm eluding to with my diagram. Staring or daydreaming as you refer to it is actually just relaxing the eyes and they naturally turn outward and parallax a point further...

Excellent Hummer. I really like the colors and the depth of field that you present with the subdued flowers in the background. Look great.
Chuck

Agreed Know1, but the viewing angle isn't critical as long as you can see a reflection of a light source behind you that is fairly near to the image you're trying to see then this can work. Such as...

Yes, Parahandy. I believe Mr. Fields words were:

"You look lovely my little chickadee; like a graveyard!"

I find it interesting that there is a wide range of abilities for people to see these stereograms. I wonder if it is possible for people who can't see them now to eventually train their minds eye...

If you don't mind Geo, I'd like to make a couple observations about your bird image as well. I certainly can't speak for anyone else but I for one, being more the old fashion Normal Rockwell kinda...

Quite out of forum but here's an interesting current event overlay I just did in Photoshop Elements. I'll title this "Too close for comfort".

Thanks Raymond for the "here", "here" an "here". Good reference.

Hi All
I'm working on a rendition of an Lorakeet (type of parakeet from Australia) that I took pictures of at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa FL. Presently experimenting with different methods of...

Opps. I Mean "Lot" of piece parts.... (TYPO).

No problem Egg. Thanks.
Thanks Availor, Ron & Jen too.

Jen, these pics are just tedious as they contain a log of piece parts. I'm sure with practice I can get similar results with a lot less...

Just bought Xara Extreme three weeks ago and these are the best three images I've created so far. Hope you like them. I tend to lean toward the technical drawings and stay away from the more...

"Display your design talents for the world to see"
That's what the title of this forum states so here goes.
These are the best three drawings I've done (in order) since I bought Xara Extreme just...
