2015 Valentine's Avatar Contest ***winners announced***

Well I decided to let go of the "galaxcy of hearts" idea...(although by now I do have some sense of how to create a galaxcy after making a whole lot and scrapping them). I'm losing to much of the details when resizing or trying to fit it into avatar dimensions.

you did awesome! You need to add official entry though to your post.. or that wont be counted!

a reply to: OpinionatedB

Nahhh...that won't be an official entry. When I started this idea it looked way better in my mind.

I'll have to start from scratch if I want to make this work and frankly, if I have to make one more galaxcy I'll be sick...

Best start with something else...

Peace

Wasn't quite sure if people would understand this one.....but than I remembered on what website I'm posting this.

Got to reach 3 entries somehow so I'll make this Official Entry Nr.1:

I think everything looks better in our minds.. I am disappointed in my falling rose petals and am going to start from scratch on those again..

:sigh:

I'll be as sick of rose petals as you are of galaxies here shortly!

a reply to: OpinionatedB

Oh wow...those rose petals look great!! (The only thing they could possibly need is perhaps a little more shadow) you should def. enter that in the competition!!!



Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Okay.. what do you think of this? I think it is a little better thanks to your suggestion!

a reply to: OpinionatedB

The petals had a little white edge and now they are gone!! This looks amazing!!!

(I really have to start animating as well!!)



Peace

Even when traffic is bad, it takes me less than 10 minutes to get from work to home. And I live on the other side of town.

Small town life is nice.....

No one likes a show off BFFT

On a Saturday morning I do the 16 mile journey in under 12 minutes, empty roads and no cops

Yesterday it took me an hour and a quarter because the local motorway (free-way) was closed, and I was using all the tricks in the book and local knowledge. Poor Mrs C took closer to two and half.

I had to wait for my dinner LOL

Just kidding I cooked, (off topic..............that Hawaiian fish company...... looks amazing, makes me wish I could eat fish)

You'll top it OM, of that I have no doubt......................The question is how will I top your topping of me ?
