Ok, now it was suggested to me to start a throw down so don’t hold me responsible if this becomes habit forming. 🙂 i love reading all the LS Articles and always seem to find some great gems when i start going down the rabbit holes of links within. The following is one of these “rabbit” links:
How to Create Photo Twirls – Free Quick GuideSo you are challenged to take one of your photos and TWIRL. Have fun!
Here’s my 3rd attempt to twirl (which i did post in chit chat):

Not sure why but i keep seeing a frowny face in a gray box. What is that?
-
May 28, 2019 at 11:33 pm #408200
Hi Dorothy – it is due to the guide. I added a few spaces and your photo displays properly.

Allows Edits? YesThe guide link had to be entered as html to get the frowny face to go away, you can only add one paste and go link at a time or word press gets fussy.

I really wanted to do one of these in black and white. Used 4 of my black and white motorcycle with clouds photo to create this one.

Wow David. You did this in 2014? Is this an actual photo print out or a photo made to look like a print out? You are so darn good it would not surprise me either way. 🙂
Love the pattern of colors!

Hi Dorothy – I think the photo that I used as a base was taken in 2014. The ‘Twirl’ was done in August 2017. I went through phase creating images to use in cufflinks!
This is a photo made to look like it was printed out…

It looks like a jewel to me, and a well lit one!!!

oo, i really like the lighting in this and the swishy strokes make me see a crazy blue and gold Pomeranian. 🙂 in the large version the red pointing from the upper left corner really directs my eye just enough, i like it. that’s that red, doing it’s thing.

Hi Graham: Love this. Was the original mainly these colors or did you do some tweaking?

Allows Edits? YesTo be completely honest Dorothy, I can’t remember what the original picture was. I did very little tweaking other than some light/contrast adjustments and I put the yellow dot in the middle to cover up a blue splodge which appeared with the twirl.

Actually, i kind of like that blue splodge Graham. Both versions are great!

I decided that green thing, although interesting, is a bit harsh. Trying a golden pallet.

David, i like these, the first one looks like a flower to me (the b&w with the touches of color is beautiful) and the second one looks like the middle is a feather.

Allows Edits? YesJust a quick question , must this be done in Photoshop , reason for asking i have dropped PS lately for another PP software , right now i can’t use PS but do have other software that allows more or less same outcome.
It’s not a biggie just wanted to ask first before attempting to post anything.
Thanks for any info.

P71: a twirl is a twirl is a twirl is a twirl. 🙂 no matter how you make it. post away and let us know what software you used. can’t wait to see it. actually, i think Craig said he uses Affinity.

Allows Edits? YesWell after a few tries i knew it was never going to work as well in this program as it would in Ps photoshop would allow a much tighter twirl , still thought i would post my resulting image , image used was 2 large cranes at the shipyard.

What?! These are fantastic! The first one looks like basket weaving, i love it. The second one looks like painted swirls. I really like these a lot.

Allows Edits? YesYou are very kind thank you , i’m glad you like them Dorothy.
I never went to bed until after 6-am this morning i was having a lot of fun playing with shapes.
This was a bit more mork but i like the result i did do a little extra with pattern and textures.

June 4, 2019 at 9:17 pm #409395
Wow Patrick (if i may), i see the mind of an artist. it’s interesting how structured you can make these.

Allows Edits? YesHi Dorathy , the structure comes by shrinking and expanding 1 twirl and saving each iteration of that twirl to a seperate layer building then trying to arrange those layers into a pleasing design the square shape is also done with the marquee tool.
Thank you also for your time looking and kind words.
I have been doing some Digital Art on and off since 2004 but find it hard to stay motivated for more than a few months at a time then i seem to burn out.
Here is an old one , i added the frame from ON1 fx VERSION 10.

Now that’s pretty cool Patrick. Has the feel of an old time war poster.

Allows Edits? YesYES great Swirl Seth colours work so well , would make nice Club wall Art.
Nice work.
These can get very Additive , you all followed the tutorial really well and added another creative tool to your repertuar , many thanks once again Rob Eyers for the guide.
I wish i had Ps installed to follow the same , This was done in Krita today.
I was thinking Aperture Priority 😉
-
June 6, 2019 at 5:42 pm #409735
Wow Patrick! i see your Aperture Priority and raise you a Pinwheel. 🙂 Fantastic greens and blacks.
i have to say…. not only is the creating addictive but now i am hooked on getting back in here and seeing all the creations. like snowflakes, no two are alike. can’t say enough about how much i love them all.

Hey Patrick, i googled this little guy, they appear to be somewhat of a pest, although he is cool in his own right i think i like the pinwheel better. 🙂
