Evolution
 

Done earlier this year with photoshop 7 its much smaller than the original so I could attatch it...

Wow that's great. Did you do this to an already made picture or is it all original?

wowww i'm jealous of yr photoshop abilities ^_^

Yeah I'm jealous too but I can see what Analinguist means when you are able to start seeing the filters that were used..

Cool tho :D

I started with a white canvas, nothing previously made. and yes filters were used and some of them ARE obvious but theres no reason not to use a tool in a program just because you can see it. you use it to create a certain desired effect, just the same as zooming in or anything else...

the twirl filter is way overused, but this is one of the better peices i've seen it used in

I agree on the amount its used. I like the 3d effect it creates when you use it on a grid though. Also useful for blending colors.

yay golden.. haha, i like your reference to my constant bitching about filter whoring. =)

Awesome... looks like a perfect background image. :)

heres a bigger version, got it hosted...

Whaosifh, getting dizzy here :D nice work

I'm not a big fan of twirling, but with that lighting you pulled it off very nicely.

Very nice, makes a great background image.

Nicely done.
