Last Gasp

I will leave the inspiration for this image to your imagination...I'll only say that there was a very annoying noise outside my officewindow while I was working on the source image.

Perhaps not my best work, but visually `interesting' at least.

Please rate, comment or critique as you see fit.

I love this work, wow! I would like a tutorial, I have been working with PS for years as a graphic artist but I don't know what you did to create this.I would love to know how you did it, but I will respect your wishes if you want to keep it to yourself. .....Sherle

I could put together a tutorial, but a simple description of the tools used may serve as well. Since you are experienced it may be better for you to experiment with the primary tool used for the "Last Gasp" image.

I make heavy use of what I consider the most versatile plug-in available, Fractalius from Redfield. Other than that I use the tools that came with Paint Shop X2.

If you have any specific questions once you have had a look at Fractalius just ask...

P.S. I do NOT have any relationship with Redfield other than as a VERY happy user. ;-)

Thank you for sharing Dave, I love creating abstract work and have been doing it in a wet color lab for awhile. Since most people are getting rid of their wet labs I have to learn how to create what I like on the computer. Your work intrigues me greatly! Again... thank you very much! ....Sherle

I couldn't believe that you have only 3 ratings for this photo. When I saw it, I was amazed, and very much jealous of your work. Very inventively, and different from what you can see on the photo net daily. Great work, I'm just sorry that I didn't commented when I saw it the other day (I guess I was tiered, and the photo net didn't allow me to post my photo, and so on...). Best regards, and thank you for your kind words on my work.
