Ultrafractal 4.01 - Photoshop 7 I happened across this one last night as I was making a thin shading layer for another image. The sort of Japanese vibe grabbed me - the "bamboo" and spiral "vines" - so I let it take me where it wanted to go. Since the Japanese feel, I named this after an old 1950's movie I saw as a kid. Then I Googled "kanji" - Japanese writing characters - and found the kanji characters for "Tea", "Garden", "Autumn" and "Moon" (as close as I could come to the words in the title) and drew them in with PS. I hope I got them right - Toby will probably read them and say I goofed and it really says "drank too much tea, is there a bathrooom on the Moon?" lol Not a very technically complicated image but I like it and wanted to share it. I really flip over the composition of a lot of the few layered pieces here. Only 3 total layers - one is a mask. What was WAY cool was that it rendered at like 12,000 pixels per second (400 something by 768) and was done in less than 30 seconds! After waiting up to 20 hours for some of my "mega-layer fiascos" to render, this was really neat. I've got to do some more of these "small" ones! lol Thanks for stopping by - Konichi wa! Rick Ok - So I read the kanji "Sun", "Moon" left to right, western style, and they were on the page right to left - ROFL!! So I drew the wrong one. Thanks, Michele, for spotting my gaffe!
