Description I never upload several images in a row.
This is an exception, because is holding a contest.
She provided this image



for those who are interested: you can work on it and maybe itΒ΄s you who wins the prize!.
I am taking part mostly because Rezzan is a good friend and she was really eager that I did something. So here you are, Rezzan...

I wasn't sure if I would have time during the week to do something, so I thought I'd better work on it today. This took me not more than 3-4 hours. Quite different from what I use to do (I am usually on the magical, nice side).
I have no clue why. It just happened...

Anyway, let's hope the fire doesn't reach the tree!

Textures used:
-
-

Stars:
handpainted on a black background with a natural brush, in several layers of different opacity. Then I added a gaussian blur and masked the final product to make them show only on that corner. Not easy, but fun.

I also used lots of layers with different gradients.

This is going on my background! It's beautiful, I'm trying to learn how to do these things on Photoshop but it's taking a long time...

Manwathiell In reply to Maris-91 [2010-03-26 16:21:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh, how flattering !! Be my guest !!
This was not very difficult do do, just using color filled layers
and erasing with less opacity what I didnΒ΄t want to show and mixing
different colors to achieve the fire effect...

Beautiful work! makes me feel as if it's the only tree that stood a war or a disaster , the starts add a nice touch to it too , well don .

Indeed, that was the intention , good that I could transmit that! Not the kind of work I usually do, yet now and then something in me changes and chaos is shown... (but, as you said, the STARS still exist as hope... )
Thank you, Rabea!
