yeah, me too (thus the title, in case they weren't noticeable enough...) i've done several "brightened" versions of that one, but later for them.

btw, all were made by layering & rotating a single image. bonus giant non-thrown virtual gummi brick for anyone who can recognize it :wink:

for now:

"Easter"

"Silent Screams"

oh yeah, and this one....

"Heart-Shaped Skulls" (honestly, they just showed up!)
Image
bigger:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3549/3491935430_a835cb9cab_b.jpg

i'm not sure yet why the really fine detail isn't coming up, but then they're *supposed* to be 3000 pixels wide.... i'll fix that if i can figure out how!

'At's all for now, mebby some of the "Through Glass Darkly" variants'll go up later. (& yeah, all still made by layering that same image! hey, *i* likes 'em.....:wink:)

I DO HOPE ALL THE FIXING IS DONE......

No silly, it's "Snow Angles", like with "Crown Of Horns" or "Grates Of Hell". I've apparently inherited Compulsive Punning Disorder via the English part of my heritage. :wink:

i'm actually just a backwards-french canadian person. i *looked* right at the title SAID IT OUT LOUD to myself so that when i scrolled back to write it i wouldn't forget which was which and then i STILL spelled it wrong. because that is the curse of being french canadian.

I, for one, am SUPER digging these pieces of yours, sir! :D

I especially squee over "Delicately Negative", "Crown of Horns", "Predatory" and "Heart-Shaped Skulls"

I love how the heart-shaped skulls just appeared! Awesome-sauce! :tooth:
"Aztec Neon" is like candy for my eyes...

I think this is one of the few times I've seen filters in Photoshop used very
VERY well, and didn't look cheesy..
(my own Photoshop work included in the cheesy category)

Great job! can't wait to see more!

actually no filters there, just different layer effects. And it's PantShop Pro, not Photoshop (much cheaper, if you pay anyway....)

i think i figured out why the full resolution isn't showing; should be able to fix that soon!

p.s. i'm kinda disappointed nobody's mentioned "Grave Accents", but maybe it's just the CPS that makes me think it's funny..... ;)

p.p.s does anyone else think "Easter" totally looks like a Faberge egg, or am i just too imaginative? (i really have *no* idea how that one happened....)
