The fourth in the Crown Of Thorns series. This was going to be the last, but I may do some more with Dan from different angles and some other poses, so there may be a few more in the near future. Layers with the high pass and gaussian blur filter used and blended using various blends with two texture layers (the same cracked glass layer rotated 180 degrees) and a border.

Fear is an emotion inside us / Deeper growing my deaths content / Eating away our insides / Watching themselves and they step out of skin / So darkness it surrounds the being / Memories ressurected of pain / Remembered, what? / Were reminded, why? / Of a the fear thats inside us and we’ll give in today Fear / Fuck you / Fear / It’s inside you Why am I here? / Because you invited me / I cant help for your insecurity / You cant hide from me ‘cause I’m inside of you / I took it from you because your a freak show I mend my soul without reason / Patiently conscience restrained / My life feels so nice / It seems my darkness disguised entity / Shrouded in lifetimes of misery / Turned and it swells in my fate / Repeated, what? / Disregarded when? / Of the visions in my mind reflected mistake Fear / Fuck you / Fear / It’s inside you Why am I here? / Because you invited me / I cant help for your insecurity / You cant hide it from me ‘cause I’m inside of you / I took it from you because your a freak show Why?

nekoha-stock.deviantart.com / and my own textures Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance / With the stars up above in your eyes / A fantabulous night to make romance / neath the cover of october skies / And all the leaves on the trees are falling / To the sound of the breezes that blow / And Im trying to please to the calling / Of your heart-strings that play soft and low / And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush / And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Commission piece of the lovely Ash and her best friends, Bonnie and Francis. Created in PSP using a large number of photos and drawings combined. All resources my own, either hand-drawn or taken on my Canon Powershot A480 Point-and-Shoot, except for the picture of Ash, Bonnie and Francis. Proudly New Zealand-made. :) Featured in Layered With Texture Oct 14, 2009. / Featured in All Original Blends Oct 15, 2009. / Featured in Peace, Love and Tranquility Oct 15, 2009.
An early night thus far, 11:45 PST. After all the tweaks (including but not limited to bloom, noise reduction [twice to make the skin look really smooth -vanity rears it’s not so ugly head yet again] a little contrast here, a little vignette there) I added the same layer (motion blur 5) twice—once one way, once the opposite way. Then put a romantic sounding title on it as icing. My little C330 wouldn’t recognize the shot if I let it take a peek. LOL Featured in Layered with Texture October 2009

Some piece of hand printed cotton…Made with Ultra Fractal. Thank you for the views and faves. :)
This composite was made specialy for a the “chaos” challenge last year.I just let myself go and tried something different from what I use to do.I had a old picture from my trip in France when I went skiing in the Alps.The black stain at the left is,in fact,a restaurant at the “Trois Vallées” resort and you also can see the skier’s traces on the snow…. :)) I did a double layer with a shot of the moon taken with my Panasonic FZ-20…some coloring “et voilà”.....just for fun….
Artists Note: Third and last in a series… our past experiences are always with us. One must find peace and wisdom with yesterday’s tragedies… remain determined to keep cherished memories close and nurtured within the soul… looking to the future while living fully in each precious moment. / The tree and forest represent Life, the girl is my Time Traveler, the horse is her Guide, the light is Faith and Hope. stock: horse girl

I layered my Wattle Flowers image over the corrugated iron then added a high pass effect to give it a the steel textured look. Wattle Flower Card
My technical skills have increased a fair bit since I created the first image “Just a Hand” that I posted here on RB some time ago. I thought it might be interesting to see what I could make of the concept now, with the better equipment and skills that I (hopefully) have. The actual image of the hand here is a new shot, using a much better lens and more selective lighting. The textures though are the same ones I used before, though I have blended them differently to attempt to make use of more compositional techniques that I was not aware of when I made the original. There is a link to the original below – I would be most interested in anyone’s opinions re the relative value and interest of each version…

My daughter Kelsey and I had been playing around taking some pictures when I had the idea to have her looking up as if something were coming out of her head. In the back of my mind I was remembering a children’s book by Dr Seuss titled Daisy Head Mayzie. The book is about a young girl who suddenly sprouts a yellow daisy from the top of her head, and the resultant chaos the ensues. Image taken with Canon 40D and Canon 24-105mm lens + external flash. The extract below was found on the internet: Dr. Seuss was dead, but his widow had discovered one last manuscript. Ten years later, Seuss’s sketches for its illustrations were finally expanded to create a complete story. The book is dedicated by his widow “to the ongoing presence of Theodor S. Geisel…Dr. Seuss.” And in “Daisy-head Mayzie”, the narrator is even represented by the ultimate Seuss symbol – the Cat in the Hat! Remember the little girl whose house was visited by the Cat in the Hat? Mayzie looks a little bit like her! She’s got blonde hair and round innocent eyes – but one day at school, “something peculiar was going on.” On the top of her head, she’d suddenly sprouted a daisy! And it befuddles even the adults, including Mayzie’s teacher. I love how the characters have names that sound like Seuss-ical rhymes. The daisy’s confirmed by Einstein Van Tass (“the brightest young man in the whole of the class.”) The girl’s teacher is “Miss Sneetcher,” and she whisks Mayzie to the Principal’s office. And the Principal’s name is “good Gregory Grumm…a very wise man, just as smart as they come.” But most of all there’s funny drawings. Mayzie’s mom is a welder – she’s first seen wearing a blowtorch mask – while Mayzie’s father (with a dapper moustache) works as a shoe salesman. Dr. Eisenbart looks like your classic cartoon quack, with a bald head and tufts of hair sticking up under a stethoscope. And Mayzie’s super-intelligent Principal sits under an enormous arch of school books, staring at the flower through a three-lensed magnifying glass. The drawings seem even more playful with Seuss’s rhymes about the misplaced daisy. “I’ve seen them quite often in fields growing wild. But never before on the head of a child.” The daisy gets bigger, and soon a scheme hatches in the mind of Dr. Eisenbart. “I think that Mayzie and her plant / Could help me get a research grant.” Dr. Seuss seems to be hiding a subversive message in his book. Yes, there’s a daisy on the girl’s head – but the grown-ups all have their own agenda. Soon the mayor has converted Mayzie’s flower into a campaign issue. A Hollywood agent named Finagle appears, offering Mayzie his business card. Eventually her miracle is being commercialized, with “Daisy-head burgers and Daisy-head drinks, Daisy-head stocking and Daisy-head sinks.” But Dr. Seuss has one last twist in the story, since Mayzie believes that she’s lost all her friends. She sits in despair, convinced nobody loves her. And soon all the petals of her flower start dropping off one by one. Why? Dr. Seuss explains in a rhyme. “You know about daisies. When love is in doubt, The job of a daisy is Try and Find Out!”
A group for artists who use lots of layers to achieve texture and depth. For anything from collage, mixed media to digital art as long as the layers of texture are apparent. We don’t want pictures that are simply of a texture for this go to the group called Textures and Materials.
Its all about layers of texture used to enhance the finished work.
