NAPP Battle 116

Here is this weeks battle image…

And my creation from it.

Several parts of my image were created from scratch such as the dragonfly’s body, the center lotus blossom, and the peach colored border. The glass for these was done using the Rough Pastels’ Filter (Filters >Artistic > Rough Pastels) and a texture called “Blistered Paint” which is on the “Goodies and Extra’s” CD for CS3.

The dragonfly itself was drawn using the pen tool. The head was copied from the bottom of the original image and then warped slightly. The center red spot on the body also came from the orginal image as did the glass textures in the wings. I just painted the lotus, on hindsight I probably should have used the pen tool on that as well…
