Thank you very much

I have that problem sometimes too (faves that won't work), that's just some glitch with the deviantART servers I guess. That's really annoying. When I try a little later it usually works though

Thank you^^. Although I copied most of the colours from Julien's fish picture, so most of the credit for the colours should go to him

Can't remember much myself, I just looked up some of the good quotes... funny stuff^^

Mork: [Eugene has just said that he needs to tell him something important] Well, come on, I'm waiting here with a worm on my tongue.
Eugene: Huh?
Mork: Baited breath.

Mork: And look at that, it's a Ronald Reagan pen, it's got no point

Mindy McConnell: Mork, why are you building a tower of Cheerios?
Mork: Because it's hard to stack oatmeal.

Oh no you didn't!

Again, I'm so flattered that you'd be inspired to use one of my pieces to create something of your own. Especially here, where I think this is pretty much an improvement on every aspect of the original. Very well done.

I also love how my "Insult fishes" looked super-happy, while your "Happy Birds" look pissed off, basically as if they were insulting us.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

REK-drawings In reply to The-Mirrorball-Man [2008-02-28 17:46:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I did!

Well, I don't think of this as an "improvement" on the original piece, I see it rather as a companion piece . I like your arrangement better, and the fish-shape is much better suited to that idea. The bird shape is just a bit too complicated I think.

I liked the original idea, and I saw it as a sort of challenge to come up with a "fast" technique to achieve similar results. I'm wondering how you coloured those different fish^^. I did it by essentially just using copies of one bird, and manipulating the colour balance of the individual layers (one layer for each bird).

Yes, I loved that silly super-happy look on the fishes, and just had to go the other way with the birds

The-Mirrorball-Man In reply to REK-drawings [2008-02-29 04:27:39 +0000 UTC]

If I remember correctly, I used the automatic Fill function of Corel Photo Paint, which means that it was colored automatically, but that I had to color each and every fish independantly.

REK-drawings In reply to The-Mirrorball-Man [2008-03-02 03:08:59 +0000 UTC]

Ah, ok. I guess that method is better, as you have more control over the actual colours.
