They would make some pretty cool looking shields.

I have to agree though.I have tons of stuff i never use.Play with them in Droste that's always fun.
Used your top image for this.

Not bad at all, Erisian. Love your results.
I have got heaps of stuff that I have done but I will be the only one who ever gets to see it. Unless I can make something worth showing off with it.

I think they're completely useful. Actually, you could do very nice 3D textures with your tecnique.
(Sorry about not modeling something really nice, but I have way too many modling projects already ongoing...

Maybe you started something here if someone has an interesting bit or piece, they like but don't know what to do with, post it and let someone else have a go at it?
How does that saying go again..."One man's trash is another man's treasure."
With all due respect to your originals, Erisian

erisian: they're lovely!!! if i was still at polyvore.com making collages i'd beg you to let me clip them because they'd be perfect to put behind a head, like in this one:
http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5554 i also thought of shields, and the second one could be a plate, an ornate mirror/window frame, part of the ornate wheel of a wagon or even the iris of a fantasy creature's eye. the bottom one clearly belongs in a cthulhu story! it's a secret symbol, used by members of the cult in a certain place.
rod: that's really cool!
kimppi: fun, i'd never have thought of using those as 3d textures

odinbc: i love that idea - that's a thread we really need. hope people pick up on it!

OK,
here's one from playing around that I liked but don't know what to do with it?

@ Erisian,
Maybe you can make some kind of patterns out of them.
. . . .
As for myself, I don't keep stuff that I can't find any use for.
I do have a resources folder that has a lot of backgrounds and textures and stuff like that. I go through it every so often and delete stuff that I haven't or will never use.

Rod - you've nudged me into reinstalling Mathmap. I haven't used it for ages.
kimppi - They look great. I'll be playing with that idea.
Odin - excellent idea. I was thinking of that this morning.
AnMal - I was thinking of working them into collages but I haven't had any concrete ideas.

I wouldn't say useless. I can think of several uses. The third one looks like my 4th grade teacher.

Cool stuff erisian; I call this uncurling through the magnetic field twist.
Fri May 24, 2013 5:49 am
That's cool Lyle. Did you use Mathmap?

I had a go and came up with this.

erisian: that's really cool looking! so now you have something you don't know how to use made from something odin didn't know how to use - we're making progress!
Sat May 25, 2013 7:22 am
Progress indeed.

Very nice, Erisian!
If it wasn't in this thread I wouldn't have made the connection. I like subtle coloring. I guess now I must give it a go.

Yes; ran Droste twice with different settings to get the twist effect. Very manual process (second pass) unfortunately.
Sat May 25, 2013 6:53 pm
this has the makings of a really fun thread if more people join in!
lylejk and odinbc: that's nice stuff you came up with! i will have to get mathmap installed soon.

Hey, it's getting good Odin.
I agree with AnMal - post your junk here so that we can all have a go at it.
