Thought I'd share this image, Its the most popular image I've created to date and posted on Da.

that's cool, he4rty!! so well made. any chance of a tutorial?

If I can remember how I done it.

its perfect ! love the use of the cyrillic letters !

a tutorial or a quick description of how it was made, would be great ?

how did you get this large quantity of text lined up vertically ?

he4rty: i second that question!
esper: it's greek though - and now you may call me

Only one line of vertical text was written and each letter was positioned manualy, then duplicated and offset to create the rest of the image.

Then the text image was duplicted 11 times and the colour tweaked slightly for each layer.

A photo of the matrix was then download into gimp, desaturated and posturized to 11,then each colour in turn was selected and a new layer created and filled with the relevant text colour.

The bit I can't quite remember is afterwards it still wasn't as clear as I would of liked so I used the greyscale photo as an overlay for the whole image, but had to use a layer mask made from the text so only the text was creating the image.

Hope that makes sense.

That's incredible he4rty. I'm a BIG Matrix fan.

Wow nice work!

You gotta be kidding me.

he4rty: i second mokonafan's fainting . what an incredible load of work you put down! must feel good that it got so much attention - like a just reward.

I'm actually quite stunned as to how many views and downloads it has had, because there is definately room for improvement.
