It's that time again folks!

Keeper is in dire need of a new wardrobe, according to some that we don't tread on...

Anywhoo, here's the deal.

First member(s) to make an original tree avatar with the only request being my username cleverly used as part of the imagine in some way, will win a very special prize

.

( It's mostly applause and bragging rights, but I might have something else up ma sleeve)

Welp. I'm REALLY new at doing this but it just sounded like fun. NO expectation that you would ever use either of these!! I doubt my use of ^10 is nearly clever enough!

Thanks for giving me some inspiration to play around.

peace,
AB

Now, with that fabulous sales pitch, I give you...







Well, I tried... No doubt you'll get something amazing soon!!

This one for sure, that is an excellent blend. The second one is a bit artisitically out of kilter a bit to my eye, but this one is great.

Possibly the only thing you could change to make the image pop a bit is to add a perspective at the bottom, so it looks like the ground beneath the tree is coming out toward the front of the av. Plus it breaks the ground and the sky perspective behind the tree.

What you want to be doing is sky/top third of av background, tree middle, ground/bottom third front perspective if that makes any sense.



Something like this spanning out from the tree is what I'm thinking.

Talk about feast or famine LOL

Sorry all I got tied up but back on the night shift now

outstanding, DE. The Avatar Creations folks here have made VERY good use of what you have shared with us in the past....i am sure I will be more than happy to have this set.

It is an expansion of the last styles set you shared last year? Can i replace the old 'Kevins_Styles" with this one?

Hey, thanks, Templar!! I really appreciate the feedback!
I'm definitely in "beginners mind" with this - and it was a really fun distraction.
Thank you so much for taking my small efforts seriously. If I can figure it out, I'll see if I can shift the perspective on the foreground a bit per your suggestion. I'm not sure I have the mad skillz needed, but it will be something to learn!



gratefully,
AB

Glad to hear that and you can feel free to use this one over the old one cause this is a expansion, but keep in mind this one has like 3 double of the old.So it may be hard to find the previous styles between them.I will also add the new brush/gradients collection when i got some more time.

See you guys till then sorry i haven't been active in a while very busy with working offshore.

Cheers!

At the risk of sounding like an idiot

Do I download it with PS and if not, could someone please tell me which app I need to download.

Thanks Cody! How exciting for you & Beezer! I saw the Roddinus photos
& you two were having a ball. I haven't met up with any ATSers...I know there
are several in my area, one would be JackCatMountain (sp?). He's ~ 30 min away?
Maybe one day I will see who's near me.

Cheers

REALLY!!! Wow! I was totally shocked, though I do think it looks good on you!

Wow. So glad you like it. I wasn't looking for the "reward" aspect of your offer, btw, just you choosing it has put me over the moon.

peace,
