However, the blue-red-yellow color combination does remind me of a flame of some sort.

There's a nice entry in Wikipedia about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_%28graphical%29">perspective</a>. As you may have already guessed, I struggled to create an illusion of depth, a feeling that the text and the lines go deep into the background.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_space.jpg" alt="3D effect" border="0" />hidarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930989857357269955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480390395636292539.post-42188549694186838412007-01-15T19:39:00.000+02:002007-01-15T19:59:51.769+02:00Maze PatternThis afternoon I started working with GIMP by creating a maze.

It's difficult to draw something complex with a mouse, that's why I'm very interested in digitalising drawings. So, a photo of a flower, drawn with a black pen, edited with GIMP concludes this week's creations.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_flower.jpg" alt="A drawing of a flower" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />And here's the original drawing I used.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_flower_o.jpg" alt="A drawing of a flower" border="0" />hidarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930989857357269955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480390395636292539.post-53878388741086483852007-01-11T23:04:00.000+02:002007-01-11T23:28:49.376+02:00Wallpaper VariationsToday, two variations on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Fireworks</span> wallpaper I posted yesterday. <a href="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_fireworks_d.jpg">A black one</a> which is full of flickering neon lights that create a mysterious atmosphere and <a href="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_fireworks_c.jpg">a light one</a> with delicate pastel colors and seamless shapes.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_fireworks_ds.jpg" alt="Neon lights wallpaper" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://fordisplay.skynet.lt/DGC/dgc_fireworks_cs.jpg" alt="Neon lights wallpaper" border="0" />hidarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11930989857357269955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480390395636292539.post-43185943146496329902007-01-10T23:14:00.000+02:002007-01-10T23:31:17.822+02:00Fireworks WallpaperToday I'm introducing a wallpaper dedicated to this blog and I can't find a better word than <span style="font-style: italic;">fireworks</span> to describe it.
