WET #64: Captured Heart! February 6, 2000 Please click above to view full-sized image. WET 64: Captured Heart! Hi again! This week Glenn gave us 2 black and white bits of clip art to play with. And play I did! I wanted to go with the idea of a captured heart, and thought I'd have a heart imprisoned behind bars. But my mind went differently. After spending hours on the bars, I got the wonderful idea of making a spherical cage with a heart in it. And then when I started to get the heart ready, it turned into a butterfly! For the "cage," I used the corner image that was supplied. I did lots of cutting, pasting, and filling...lots of filling!!! Some bits were drop shadowed 3 different ways, some were hot waxed, and some were filled pixel by pixel. When I finally had all the color in, I used the circle deformation. I then resized another copy of of the circle cage, this one narrower, to put in back to get a spherical effect. The butterfly is a heart from the corner image. I resized it, spent some time filling in the outline so it was smoother, and then selected the center with some feather. I filled this with a red base, then used a bezier line to make the dividing curve. I used the sunburst gradient on the right side, then added 3 percent noise to it. Then I used the reverse sunburst gradient on the left side, and repeated the 3% noise application. The lower portion of the wing is on a different layer, and is a rotated and resized version of hte right wing. The body was made with the ellipse shape tool and filled with a lineaer gradient, then drop shadowed for shaping. The antennae and legs were also created with the ellipse tool. The background was created by making a tile of the second WET original. I embossed it, then adjusted color till I was happy, then filled a new layer with this tile as the pattern. Once it was there, I picked up colors from the image to make the mat and frame, buttonized the frame, then added the caption. Everything on this page was done in Paint Shop Pro 5, using only the original filters and functions supplied with the program. This is a smaller version of the original layered images posted for us to use. Thank you! You can express your opinions in my guestbook or send an e-mail below I'll be glad to hear from you. :) This image was created using Paint Shop Pro 5, especially for the WET #64 project. It is my original creation based on the original WET images obtained on-line from Glenn. through alt.binaries.comp-graphics.
