UF4Just a little prettiness for the day...
I learn from each image. This image I learned how to get a striped gradient on an Orbit Trap.
Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. feature 
Today's theme was titled " FLOWER POWER! " - Flower & Plant Artwork
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! xoxo Sandi oxo

Very well done, as usual. But how did you get the striped gradient? Would have thought that the image used the usual petal traps, but you did this all with orbit traps? Once again, you've given the rest of us something to shoot for.

The flowers are done with Orbit Traps(UF3) - (dmj.ucl. The stripes are a masked higher order trap (like 30 petals). I worked the base gradient and textures and then overlayed the mask. This make sense?

any random tips for UF is greatly appreciated btw

Well...if you've been messing with it for a while, you know the learning curve is a little steeper than it might first appear. Other than just continuing to play with the program, plus going through some tuts...the best "general" tip I can give would be to join the UF mailing list and make use of the mailing list databse. With the database, you can find artists whose work you like and then do a param search for that artist. If they havae submitted any params to the mailing list, you can download the params and study how they do things. Eeeeeeeeexcellent learning tool!
Yeah, I know...this didn't really help, lol....but it really does work if you pursue it.

This is so cool! I use UF and click the buttons, but I think you may have found different buttons to click! LOL! Well done! I love the gradient, the vines, the leaves, the flowers and the earth in the background. Great textures, too.

lol...no..same buttons! Thanks for the lovely comments!

Unbelivable!! I can only hope I spend enough time with this program to be half as good as you in the future.

Well, not sure about the "good as you" part, but that's what I've decided...to just continue to spend time with UF. Most of my heros have been using the program for years...so I'm thinking in another 7 or 8 years I'll be ok...
Tha's all we can do, no?...just keep poking along...

That is so cool! The colours are in perfect harmony and the background (it looks like a wooden rose) totally ties into the main piece, the flowers and stems and stuff...wow. Absolutely mind-blowing!

"mind-blowing"...Wow...what a nice compliment! I feel all goody now!

Oh, and I forgot to mention at first...hehe...the shapes actually remind me, somehow, of those little springs you find in tools and clickey pens! lol Just a thought

Excellent masking and layering of all those lovely shapes and textures. I really like your flowers with all the little details.

This is absolutely georgous. So much depth in all the layers. My eyes keep finding something new to fixate on. Absolutely wonderful!

Wow...thanks! That, to me, is one of the goals as an artist...to make the piece intersting enough that the viewre enjoys spending some time just looking around in the piece.
You just made this piece worth the effort...

>>I don't understand it...I just click the buttons!....lol....<<
really...that's great....lol...just click the buttons and "Oh... look what there has just come out."
Outdoors it is snowing and I sit here and have a look at pictures of the spring....neat....lol
I like all about it, the texture, the flowers, the contrast beetween background and flowers and
also the naturalistic appearance.

It's TRUE!!!!!

yeah yeah...i know...lol....and the earth is a disc....hahaha

Ohhh this is very pretty! It has such a tropical feel to it, I bet if I zoomed out there would be a waterfall somewhere near lol. The flowers are gorgeous, but the best part for me is that gnarly vine, you have the texture just right and there are even leaves!!
