A post to prove to Palms that I don't just paint ladies.
Though it may be a lady snail, I was too much of a gentleman to look.
This one from Fontplay.com as well.

Pretty neat Lyle

Finished up with PaintEngine glow-wind preset.

OK; just the shell this time. This is a Quadtree Photo-mosaic. Used shells from the Free Photo Index for the database by the way.

I have to agree with Palms, (though it grieves me), I didn't expect this result, I expected wheels added plus some go faster stripes, such imagination - love it.
keep them coming please.

Shelly Droste occasionally exhibits multiple personality disorder.

Shells mimicking a larger shell on a bed of shells. lol

Click here for the seamless texture (created this a while back on another forum from a picture located on the Free Photo Index).

lkroll · #20 12-04-2009, 07:48 PM

Sorry; had so much fun that I've not commented on all the cool versions. Really like the fractilus (got to get that plugin; maybe they might offer it one dat at the Give-a-Way of the Day site; lol) interpretations from both Grant and Palms. John's red glossy version is a keeper too. Very nice background change too Vera. OB's abstraction's cool too.

marggg · #21 12-04-2009, 09:37 PM

escargot au chocolat?

marggg · #22 12-04-2009, 09:43 PM

the chocolate snail uses the the plastic wrap filter.

Nasturtium · #23 12-05-2009, 12:32 AM

I think I'll name mine Fibonacci

Interesting things happened to the shell with all the noise reductions filters, thanks for the idea Manta1900

Hi Palms,

I used DA Painter, Benson, to get a color detailed base layer. then two Sketch layers. One for the fine detail and another of the original image simplfied with Topaz and then filtered with poster edge to get the thicker lines. both blended with multiply. a Curves adjustment layer on the color layer to get the aqua background and masked out most of the shell but left the edges to blend into the background.

Thanks for asking, BTW I always have enjoyed you work.

Interesting photo and excellent interpretations!
