It looks amazing. 20 mins? I think it'd take me over two hours, and still..wouldn't look this great! Like how the illusion of distortion is present with the twisted words etc. Like the colors too--creates great depth. Very nice

How exactly was this made? I mean, if it was made in Photoshop in the standard manner you'd make something like this in Photoshop then my God, that must be one hell of a filesize. Also, your computer must be pretty damn fast in order to render so many text objects and at print size too and yet you say it only took you twenty minutes! Amazing.

i dont know about you guys but my system would crash if i had that many text layers. If i had to guess, i'd say he rasterized and combined 3-4 "sets" of layers to make this one. (Foregrounds, mids, shadow layer, etc.) I like it. Wish i could see it in it's final printed form. Have a feeling that it would be much more impressive live.

jessetoon [2004-09-06 06:42:52 +0000 UTC]

Wow that's amazing. I like how you've used darker coours in the bg and lighter ones towards the front, it makes it so much more 3D looking. Yeah, what sort of sentences are on there? Like, what you're thinking? Lyrics of songs that you were listening to?

But yesh, this is excellent. You have a real talent!

looks very much like chromosomal diagrams. in fact, a lot of the times they have words in them too.

Extemely good composition!!!
I really like the colour scheme also.
Did you make brushes for this?
I think my favourate part about it is the part where the text is uber small and tightly knotted together.
Good job.

sheaallen [2004-09-06 04:55:16 +0000 UTC]

i donyt understand how all that could take only 20 minutes, photoshop yes? That had to be several layers...Mind if I ask what your trick is?

tali3sin In reply to sheaallen [2004-09-15 12:29:43 +0000 UTC]

I could be wrong of course, but it doesn't look like Photoshop to me.

It looks more as though a big explodey abstract complex 3D model or two (or many) were made, and then the text was applied on as a kind of texture with alpha layers and what not, and then rendered.

*shrugs*
It could be either really.
But that seems more likely to me, to have taken about 20 minutes, you know?
