Artist's Comments

Every once in awhile, I have this horrible urge to create. I woke up at 4 AM this morning with the urge - this is the result. I hope you enjoy it. Click download for the monster sized 3840 x 2400 wallpaper (it looks great on my 24 inch flat panel display). Be aware, though, that it's an 8 MB download. In this one, I faded silver into gold for an interesting effect. Also, do you see the heart the fractal makes around the jewel?

Awesome! I know what you mean with "urge to create" I have that too sometimes, then i usually end up with lots of drawings of nature and horses :D

Oh yes, I know all about getting up in the early hours because I just have to do some artwork - thank goodness I'm retired and can sleep in the day if I want!

I love the silver fading into gold - hope you don't mind if I give that a try! I often can't decide which one to choose and this would seem to be the answer. :)

There are two metal style layers in my Photoshop image. One is gold, and the other (beneath it) is silver. They both have the same settings except for the gradient overlay (one has a silver gradient, the other a gold one). I took the eraser tool (large soft brush style) and erased some of the gold layer to expose the silver. Since it was a soft edged brush, it fades into the other well.
