I think I’m getting better at things. This is probably the first time I’ve used such a wide color pallet. I like it. There is a lot that could be changed about this but it’s a nice looking test piece. Among other techniques it uses the 3D tube drawing technique for which a tutorial is forthcoming. Can’t wait to do that tutorial and see what others think.
The above image was created in part using a technique I haven’t seen anywhere else. It’s the technique used in the above image to create those puffy billows that come out from behind the letters. In essence it’s a technique to easily create the appearance of 3D in tubes, pipes, and billows like you see above. Not to mention long 3D looking boxes, etc. Below are a few more examples. Expect a tutorial in the next couple days.
