Round 3



---------------------------------
(Results of Round 2 at bottom)
Hello and welcome to the third round of the Creative Challenge Contest! I’m Aliana, your Host; feel free to ask me any questions you have about the contest or individual challenges.

The Creative Challenge Contest is about artistic improvement, expanding your boundaries to do things you wouldn’t necessarily try otherwise. There will not be rounds about specific fandoms, but you can have fandom-related things in your graphics. If you have any suggestions regarding rounds or otherwise, let me know via PM and I’ll add them to the list. Remember to have fun and respect other contestants!


Round 3:
High 5!
blend

This round isn’t as easy as it looks, so if you need any tips or advice, let me know and I’ll help out as much as I can.

Your blend must only be five layers total. This can be your background image, a texture, a brush, text, and a gradient, two blended images, a texture, and two brushes, or whatever combination you can come up with as long as it’s only five layers.

Layers
--Each individual image counts as a layer.
--Each individual brush counts as a layer. [This doesn’t include different sizes of the same brush]
--Text can be combined into one layer.
--Remember to experiment with layer modes and opacities to get the effect you want!

I took a screencap of my layer panel to show you what it looks like and to give you a feel for how it can be laid out. You don’t have to do the same thing, but it helps me determine if you’re following the rules.

Example

Rules
--Submitting a screencap of your layer panel is optional, but requested to make it easy on my part.
--Your blend must be 700x500
--Please only submit the URL to your blend. Do not use the image code.
--Fandoms are allowed but this contest is about skill, not fanaticism. Use your own judgment.
--Have fun!
--Due Date: Friday, Sept 19th

Contestants
--Nurrantiel Mashiara
--Freya Baggins
--Pandora
--Altariel Frodo
--Ennostiel

Awesome entries guys! I'll add them to the list.

EDIT: Oops, Damson that's six layers. Should have clarified that an image copied is two layers. Great blend, though!

Well, I guess we'll see here... I couldn't resist the subject, but the style was definitely a new one. So there may be a change later on if I get a better idea.

That was hard! I had to use the diffuse glow filter instead of the usual glowy effect I do...because that takes up alot of layers.
