oh damn you mariawendt

look what you did, no more mr techno-nice-guy, now im in love with flowers and swirls



outer japaneseflowers brush from melsbrushes.co.uk
whitish floral ornaments and romantic flowers (around the middle) both from free-brushes.com
font is called Corneria from dafont.com

This is so cool! I love the orange frame thing in the middle!
Only thing i don't like is the (bevel?) on the text, and the black flower things behind it, they make it look a bit... messy? Still, very nice, good work!

esper - well done, brother! mariawendt should post her dreams more often, it seems. i don't agree with cyrilshark, the black flowers look great and they make a nice contrast to the swirly flower branches.

Wow, nice work there!

HAHAHA! At first, I was like, "What is he talking about?!" But then I was like, "Oooohhh!". I think it looks really stunning and glossy!

thanks everybody !

i agreee, it may be a bit too messy
maybe i will post a few versions later

the diamond-flower-shape in the middle was done by rotating an eight-sided polygon created in shape-paths (flowers/spikes) with the excellent clone-layer tool

Cyril, I love your glassy siggy....how did you do it?
Esper, very nice combo of tech and floral elements.

that would make a great plate for eating spaghetti

or just looking at - really beautiful

you think ?
hm thats funny, because after maria inspired me with her dreamcover thread, i googled for swirls and flowers and was totally into what i saw
at first i thought, okay, this will be then a totally new direction for me
but then i was thinking, how about combining all that futuristic cyberpunky grunge stuff, that i love, with this decorative swirly stuff
so maybe i did that already on a subconscious level, without intending to make it so

thanks
yes, its a bit like expensive porcelain





so do i, link to the tutorial please !

You keep me amazed and mesmerized with your design works!
I love that diamond rose thing in the center. Also I like the colors you choose, to my taste, they are in perfect harmony.
Thanks for sharing!

speechless......
thank you, that is so very nice of you

Great work Esper. The black flowers look like they are on top of the text. Perhaps if placed underneath and at a slightly lower opacity it would make the text stand out more. Nice, clean composition.

I love all of it Esper, The colors, composition and design. I do like the bevelled text but I think it is fighting for attention from the black flower behind it. What about lowering the opacity of the black flowers to give the text a place to shine through. Just my two cents. Kudos

To those who asked about my signature, unfortunately I can't find the tutorial! And it was photoshop
But I have the psd I think, I'll try yo recreate it in Gimp

Thanks cyrilshark...it shouldn't be too hard to translate from PS into Gimp!

thanks for the comments everybody

attached the xcf, in case somebody wants to play with my design

Stunning work Esper. Thanks for the xcf.
