Another R.

I see you posted this yesterday but for some reason they don't always show for me for a day or two. Wonder why that is.
Anyway, I like it Mark. Ooh snakeskin texture, very subtle but it's there.

Thanks Larry. Yup, was messing around with the EC plugins on this one.

R is for Retro. Some weird and wonderful Drop Caps this month. I'm getting some mileage from my hand drawn "R" by giving it a shiny appearance and a halftone drop shadow.
I have set it in the same frame as my previous efforts, but this time I created an inner glow effect using a blend from black to white and created a halftone vector using
Phantasm (see post #4). The result looks as though it is raised from the surface, at least, to my eye it does. Looks better at a larger size, click on thumbnail to view in all its glory.

Good ones Max. I see. A recurring theme in your designs as in thread, or textiles, is that an interest of yours? On the other hand, like me you have come up with something you like and are carrying it through to other letters and I applaud that.

Hi Larry, to embroider is not one of my interests ... but it's really very stimulating to me the fact of creating graphically the embroid technique.
