Dark Island Heaven

For the first time in months, I had a few spare hours to play with Photoshop this afternoon. The image below is based on a photograph I took while on vacation in Mexico last January.

Artistic fun with my kitty

I made some desktop wallpaper images using photos of my kitty and Photoshop. I'm really pleased with how these turned out, so I wanted to share. :-)

Make sure you click on the thumbnail to get the full effect of each image.

Dreaming by Moonlight

I've wanted to create a fantasy scene for a while now--something dreamy, yet dark--but it wasn't until this afternoon that inspiration struck.

What do you think?

*sigh* I think she needs a story.

You're right. She seems so lovely, melancholy and wistful at once. You must give her a story. It'd be criminal to leave her longing on that rock forever!

Hugs!

Gorgeous Lacey! Very dramatic with a hint of melancholy (as Beth said). I can just imagine she's waiting for her merman lover to come back to her.

Beautiful!!

Thanks, everyone! It's been a while since I've written a merman story... maybe it's time to go back to one. :-)

Fun With Planets

I've been busy writing my fingertips to the bone this week, and my poor PhotoShop habit ended up sorely neglected. So today, I thought I'd mess around and see what I can come up with.

I started with a blank canvas. Three hours later, this was the result:

Since I liked the planet so much, I thought I'd mess with it a little more. So, using Photoshop's brilliant filters, I also came up with...

Planet Under Shattered Glass

Comic Book Planet

Nuclear Planet

Planet on Canvas

Of course, all this messing around with planets got me hankering to write a science-fiction book... something with over-the-top sexy, naughty aliens. What do you think?

Oh, and which planet version is your favorite?

I love the last one. It looks like an old grainy photo. *grin* Great job. Oooh,naughty aliens. I like that idea. *Grin*

They all look great Lacey! A sexy space story sounds terrific!!

Looks wonderful Lacey! I can't decide which I like best, although you really captured that gritty comic book feel (I love comic book art) And yes, naughty aliens! Please!!!

Selena -- I really like that one, too. It made me think of paint on canvas.

Robin -- Thank you! I haven't written a science fiction story in a while. I think it may be time to remedy that!

Fi -- The comic book version really captured my imagination, too. Hmm... I'm envisioning a planet full of out-of-work superheroes who have to hire themselves out throughout the universe. Could be fun!

Great job, Lacey! The comic book planet reminds me of something out of Heroes, but that last one was my fave, I think! And YEEHAW! Write, Lacey, write!!

Thank you, Amy! You're right about the comic book planet looking like something right out of Heroes... I didn't see it until you mentioned it. :-)

I adore them. The comic book one rocks and the last one reminds me of a grainy photo too. I totally agree with Selena.

Looks great, hon!

Dawn -- Thank you, sweetie! If only there were more hours in a day to pursue non-writing hobbies. *sigh*

Thanks so much, Caitlyn! And you should. :-) It's a wonderful source of stress relief.

I hear you on that, Lacey. I rarely get to flex my artistic muscles lately. *double sigh*

But the beautiful part is...you can walk away from a digital art piece for a long time and not worry about it ruining. I used to work with acrylics and oils and you had to finish the project within a few days to get what you wanted...

Good doggie

Hi, I'm Lacey, and I'm a Photoshop addict.

(Hi, Lacey!)

Most normal people, after being rudely wrenched out of bed after only three hours of sleep would find a way to get back under the covers ASAP. Not me. Though I could barely keep my eyelids from snapping shut, I ambled over to my computer, pulled up a new Photoshop file, and went crazy experimenting with brushes, colors, gradients, etc.

Five and a half hours later, I had this:

Sorta goes with my werewolf release today, no? *g*

Awww, Lacey he's adorable! And, it's not so bad being addicted to Photoshop. At least it's not harming anyone! *G*

Hugs,

Well, Robin, that probably remains to be seen. LOL

And thank you! :-)

Very cute, Lacey. Congratulations on the new release!

Thanks, Heather! New releases always feel great, but when the book also wraps up a long-term series, it's an added bonus. :-)

Congrats on the new release! Verra cute dog and kudos on the addiction.

Hi, my name is Dawn and I'm a gimp addict. No, not quite Photoshop. Wait! Why are you shoving me out the door??? ROFL

Wow, that is one vicious looking animal, Lacey:)
Sounds like you love your Photoshop. Good outlet for you! Keep those savage beasts coming, both on the writing and Photoshop front!
