Please post your mechanical artwork for the Imbolc/Lughnasadh Eisteddfod Competition here. These are works which require mechanical assistance such as photography, computer generated art and graphics etc.

I've been away for a while but I'm back just in time for Eisteddfod fun! Woohoo! Hello? Anyone coming out to play?

Loki Dreams Revenge

An imagining of what Loki might at this very moment be wishing upon his enemies, as he sits, bound up in his son's entrails, awaiting Ragnarok.

A bit dark, sorry. :angel:

Thanks Jeb, much appreciated, I love the style of Art you are working with, but my next entry, not this post, is an untouched photograph.

For those wondering about MorningStars comment, I did 2 versions of it heres the other just for comparison not competition

.

I took 5 photos of Dinas Bran , from distant to close up and in all of them is the Raven thats visible in the mid right hand side - all face the same direction and all are in almost the same position, yet I spent at least 5 minutes or more taking the series of shots. Hmmmmm, Bran?

Looking at Mount Tamalpais across San Francisco Bay from the hills above our house. The mountain was an Indian holy spot for centuries before Europeans invaded.

OOOOh lovely piccies Eoin Dubh brought a smile to my face

OK so we are allowed 3, so Here is no 3.

I'll hold no shame in saying this is a collection of stills taken from a Video, by Finnish Rockers, Nightwish, the song is called Nemo and has nothing whatsoever to do with that animated fish. I went through the Video frame x frame to get the images I wanted.

The next step was to increase the number of pixels from 96/inch to 600/inch. so to make the images larger, without getting nasty rough/jagged edges.

Then Choose the base image, which has been watching you all for sometime now, and layer upwards from there, making transparent layers....then finally squashing all the layers onto one. Then bring back down the number of Pixels to 96/inch, for screen rendering, and the result is......

a small 378 x 62 pixel banner - created for my signature section

or so you can see more detail
