Pure Photoshop Designs

Hey guys, hunted around my various HDD's to pull together some designs I did over the last few years, some are old, some are actually fairly recent ... but a mix of varying styles and interests from plain and simple to OTT ... ;)

All designed from scratch in photoshop only, the alien landscapes were pushing the limits of what I could achieve in PS alone for those kinds of designs.

the last 2 are the best.... do you plan on doing anything with them? like a web template or something?

Very nice...

I like twin suns and grey heavens the best!
Very nice...

But you could work on blue sunsets...The lens flare isn't good. You should create it urself! With da pen tool or something!

I'm not very good at this stuff, altough I'm trying to learn it...


But very nice job on all of them!
:)

i really like the stone shadows, that one looks really good.

stone shados is jus amazing for something made in ps very nice work

woot ! good stuff here :P stone heavens and the last 2 rawk ! nice work you have got there

Grey Heavens is the best, and the two templates are really cool too. Good job man.

Stone Shadows is my favourite by far, nice designs keep it up man.

Stone shadows seems best to me too. but they are all too small to my liking ;)


very nice work.

@ Rorin those designs just started life off as an exercise in getting those effects down, testing it out, but they were an interface for my old website a while back as I developed it.

@ Wouwousoft keen eye you got there but I didn't use the default lens-flare, it is among one of my weaker designs back in the day but the lens-flare was added seperately using a bunch of lines and circles, with softlight overlays and bluring I think thats why it looks a bit crap now

@ dragoneye what I posted are just trimmed down version for quick viewing here, most of them are at 1280x1024 in size. So if anyone every wants one of them for a wallpaper, let me know as I can make available most resolutions.

At everyone else thank you for the feedback and encouraging replies, with a clear idea in your head and the right inspiration its not difficult just mostly time consuming - it only gets hard when you can't bend photoshop to your will and achieve what some of the masters in digital art do - if can be frustrating but you only need to get it right once then you can move up a level - but its nice to have encouraging comments to help us along.

oooh... hehe, yeah i was actually wondering why would anyone make so little pieces...

But i would definately want to see 1280x1024 resolution, the first 3.

yeah if you cold pm Stone Shadows in full size itd be cool.

OK here we go, first 3 fullsize. They're all jpg format 150dpi 1280x1024 pxs so should be no problems on most monitors

not too keen on any, if i'd have to tell you the best i'd say stone shadows or grey heavens ... the feel of them arn't the best and they're not a good style, the feeling behind them is ok i can see you put some effort into making them, the last 3 seem like (i'm not accusing here) but you know the look of tutorial works .. sort of linear, but i can't see much for me to comment on faults they all seem to be perfect, just not my thing.

wow all of them are really good - i especially love the Stone Shadows! nice work

No not a all, perfectly honest opinion. I appreciate that not everyone will like the stuff I post, like any artwork, even some of the stuff that hangs in galleries I find horrible and uninteresting but apparently they're technically brilliant heh!
The style I believe is always a matter of opinion, even I don't like everything I do so I hardly expect anyone to like the final product and still I'm surprised some do.
I will mention thou, what I post freely online is not my best professional designs bc I don't want them stolen or copied, I tend to cut corners here and there because I'm not being paid, yeah it all gets down to cold hard cash. But I haven't just posted 'the best' I wanted some really early work, which you've identified, just to give a good wide angle of what I've done over the years so I can't rest on arrogance that I was born good lol.
Thanks for the comments

stone shadows if definatly best for photoshop only work... but in the large version of it you can notice bits poorly cut out of the rock probly form using the magic wand tool... I believe you should be able to fix it, unless they're intentionally there but it doesnt look right...

good words man...an yea i like grey heavens *sets it as bg on comp*
and i like bothe the interfaces aswel...nice work

stone shadows was made in just photoshop??!!!!
