I used fx 3D (at the bottom of the Layers panel) with multiple Light sources by using the 'Add' dropdown menu, mainly the Direction function and the Diffuse, Specular and Shininess functions, while tinkering with almost all other functions in the dialog. The main group consists of sub groups, some of which I assigned its own 3D fx. I also used the Curves and HSL Shift adjustments to achieve the effects that I aimed for, which took quite some time. I applied a complex linear fountain fill with various colours to the main group and clipped light and dark curves into the main group to suggest highlights and shadows. It may seem far out to some, but I always adjust function values to those that comply with Marco Rodin's Vortex Math system (https://www.virtuescience.com/enneagram.html) that reflect aspects of deeper layers of reality, that commonly are scarcely explored. What I do basically is endless fiddling with a certain aim in mind. not just creating artwork with random impulse. Regardless of the fact if people are aware of this or not, it affects their subconscious. bananayoshimoto 1 Quote Home: https://vectorwhiz.com : : : : Portfolio blog: https://communicats.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammer Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Interesting. Had to google Marco Rodin's Vortex Math system, it seems to me to be a development of the golden ratio. The artwork is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmmMaarten Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Cool! I'm not into tattoos, but even that wireframe would make a great tattoo! 🙂 AdamStanislav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
