Trying for a Japanese theme on this one.

These are so amazing and have been trying to make some of my own. Of course they will look different but i still cant figure how some of these are done . Even so i still have made some interesting things. I need a notebook to remember what i do - but i get excited and jump in and forget to take notes

@Teapot - is #163 two brushes combined to make the inner and outer petals as one brush
before making it around six times ?

thank you

It's one brush and of course symmetry painting to make the six. It looks too dark in daylight today will have to stop working in a darkened room

Ah, symmetry painting not mandala . i understand. I was just playing with that tab too
-my room is a bit dark too .

The thing that bothers me the most about it is that one monitor is lighter and the other is darker and have a problem adjusting the colors ... but when i print , that photo size print is too dark as well
-- a topic for another thread that i am sure others experience as well

Thank you for getting back to me

Going back throught the postss i saw something interesting between Teapot and Lylejk
about solidify and thought i would take a pass at it on a mandala as well

Really very beautiful mandalas in this thread.
to you all,

Love all the mandalas

OMG, I like that one, great shapes I hope it's OK but I couldn't resist having a go with your brush:

Teapot - very nice mandala; no worries about the brush, what is mine is yours

This one reeks of experimentation featuring a simple animated brush and some custom brush dynamics I created - I had no idea initially what I was producing but I think the result looks alright.

Another week in lock down, four to go still - so here is a mandala made with a brush I have used previously.

Elegant mandala OMG and another nice brush,.

Post #171 is original and intriguing. Is bevel reflect used for the 3d?

Teapot - thanks for your comments. I did not use BRL to get the 3D effect in #171. Once I had all layers completed for the mandala pattern, I performed New layer from visible. Then, on that layer I executed Filters>Distorts>Emboss, I think with default parameters and put that embossed layer in Overlay Mode to produce the final result.

Thank you for the explanation OMG

Two mandalas each made from the same brush.

Strange brush, stranger mandala.

omg: I used your brush - thank you
relaxing to me

Another brush, another mandala and 6 weeks into lockdown now.

A mandala a day keeps lock down at bay

Here are a couple made with a 'fractal' like brush derived from merging two BRL outcomes, each using new e-maps I created recently.
