Nice nonetheless. Faved.

Thanks. I wish the rest of my entry looked as decent. maybe someone will find a use for the background.

It looks like a photo. o_o;

I thought so too. One of the extremely rare times when something came out better than I expected. I often look at the clouds going to and from work and is still stunned how close they look to my picture. Now if I can replicate the results.

It was surprisingly easy to make. I started with some white splotches using various brushes in PhotoShop. Then use some smudge brushes followed by a darken and lighten layer, with more smudging. I keep playing with it till it looks decent enough.

I'm also generally happy with my lightning backgrounds (I may post some of the lightning parts later). While not as realistic as my clouds, I still like them. Maybe with enough practice, they'll look real.

hey now don't give out all your secrets lol and they still look good to me very realistic clouds indeed

also just wanted to say the clouds look a lot like an evil smiley face which is cool
