Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I'm still working on it, so hopefully I can get it to turn out. I'm rather frustrated that I haven't been able to draw that much yet. I'm working on overcoming that block because I really want to do it again. But I'm still glad to get your advice and encouragement
Broken glass is always so hard to do. Maybe more definition or red frost extending out? that might make it pop more. I'm sorry that you are having such an art block! I hate when that happens. I've had it myself lately which is why i'm only doing ocs. lol I hope you get this done and it turns out just like you wanted it too!
Thanks for the advice. I'm still working on it, but the blur definitely adds to it, and I've got a texture of broken glass that I'm also working into it to hopefully add to it. I think part of it might be the background color too that's throwing me off. I'm still playing with it, but hopefully it'll come out. I've got a wallpaper that I'm working on too, although I'm still figuring out how I want to piece it together. I've found some renders that just called my name *haha*
I hope you're doing okay. I've been worried about you and I hope everything's going as all right as it can. I just saw your post this morning, so I'm glad you commented here so that I heard from you. If you need to talk or anything, I'm always all ears. But I also pray that everything gets better soon ;)
I know what it's like to be frustrated creatively. Take me for example, I'm in a bad situation right now, I'd like to settle down and break out my laptop and make wallpapers and stuff. It's frustrating. Anyways I like where you're going with your iPhone wallie.
Maybe you could use a texture like this to give it more of a radical/broken/3 dimensional feel. Does any of that make sense? You have some great ideas going here. I can't wait to see the finished product. I hope to create some wallpapers of my own soon. I miss it, it was a great stress reliever for me but I have been writing on my story when I can. Will send u new chapter when I can. ;)
EDIT/Append: Another thing you could try is if you have Photoshop, go to "filters" ~> "blurs" ~> "gaussian blur" on parts of your render/scan. This in turn would actually enchance the charactistics of what you're hoping to achieve. It's just a thought I had after I initally left this comment, so I thought it couldn't hurt to tell you about it. Hope it helps you. Good luck with your iWallie. :)
