Art Project - Lynnrose's Duck

[nocky2]

We had another great response to last weeks Project, with lot's of very imaginitive creations. Well done everyone.

Now let's see what you can do with LR's nice photo of a duck. ;D



Here's what I managed first attempt.

[Pete]

That's great Nocky, this is my first try.

[elvisuk]

[nocky2]

I like your reflection effect Pete, very nicely done, and I also like that two tone background elvis. Well done.

[Angelstardust]

Nicely done so far.
I was toying with the mirror effect, now I've got to think of something else.

[ken]

Thats changed it a little bit.

[nocky2]

Diving Duck! That made me laugh KC, well done. ;D

Here's my latest effort.

[ken]

I like your latest one Nocky. It looks like a rich duck in a marble pool.

[Angelstardust]

[Pete]

Some really good effects Elvis, Ken, Nocky and Angelstardust.

[nocky2]

That is very good Angel, I really like the composition, and the light effect is great. Lovely graphic.

Here's one I created using my usual method, (random filters). ;D

[ken]

Keeping this one for Christmas

[nocky2]

Has that duck been genetically modified, or is the one that ate all the pies? ;D Very good effect KC.

[ken]

I used a steroid filter Nocky. geometric effects and spherized it a couple of times.

[ken]

[nocky2]

That's nice Ken, looks just like a chalk drawing on a blackboard. Well done. ;D

[ken]

Thanks Nocky, I'm pleased you like it as heres a variation of it.

[ken]

[Lynnrose]

Just want to say, well done all!
I think Phoney DID win the lottery!

[ken]

He's certainly quiet on this project Lynnrose. He's normally put up half a dozen pictures by now.

[Angelstardust]

Maybe he's as busy as I am.

[nocky2]

Some more good work there Ken, you've a great imagination.
As for me, I just fiddle about with filters till I get something I think is worth saving. Here I traced the outline, then added a difference clouds effect. ;D

[ken]

I like the coloured one Nocky.

I can work out what I want in my head, it's getting it together thats the trouble. The first one I started with a plain green canvas and it took me about 3 hours to get it all together. The second one only took a few minutes to sling a bit of colour on it. I think it makes the ducks stand out better, than they do on a woven duck background.

I'm sorta getting used to this PSP Photo x 2 now. I have still got a million things to learn though, its a great program though and a lot better than the PSPs that went before. It doesn't have an animation shop though, coz its primary use is for photo work. I should get on and get some of my old photos fixed up and printed.

[nocky2]

I never really bothered much with graphics myself Ken, until LR asked me to run the Art Project, so I'm still learning as I go along. Unfortunately my photography has taken a bit of a back seat lately, I'll really have to make a start on the backlog that's building up.

Anyway, here's the latest masterpiece. LOL ;D

[phoney]

Some 'interesting' stuff there taking into account the restrictions of the subject.

[nocky2]

LOL phoney, I knew you'd produce you're usual humorous take on the subject, that made laugh. ;D

And now,here's something slightly different .

[ken]

I think that one is great Nocky, noy we need Phoney to make it rotate.

[Angelstardust]

Did you mean like this?

[nocky2]

Thanks Ken.

Angel,that is a smashing animation, certainly makes a difference, well done.

[phoney]

Now that's a different approach nocky. Could be a design for a glass paperweight.
Angels is like an optical illusion. The central flower appears to be rotating at a different speed to the ducks.
