Filigree Framing

ok, this one is still very rough. i'm also still debating the name. there are some possible improvements i could do, like, fill the background (the background on this one is actually transparent but due to .jpg saving you cant see that). i could also change the black lines to other colors and vary the pattern.

notice the outer frame here and how the lines seem to join the outer frame. that is on purpose. i wanted the lines to look connected to the frame.

so, mostly i'm curious if anyone thinks this is worth anything and worth continueing on with. if not, i'll probably just drop it and move on to something else. am also curious if anyone has any other ideas for it.

thanks, steve

but, you know me, after i change it about 24 times i may be semi-happy with it. lol.

and, on that note, here's a variation without the image, just a texture. i've given the filter the ability to do either, plus have transparent or opaque backgrounds.

That last one is really cool......kinda like it's mapped onto balls.....wondering how it would look on actual 3D balls like this without the external image.....

I think that last one could also be a textured pattern on your drape filter.......alien drapes LOL......

Yeah, that thick line edge..... I kinda like how it is taking on the form of balls with the edges curving into and disappearing into the dark areas......which reminds me of the 3D folds on your drapes......excellent concept.....

Slap it on your drapes to see how it looks......or maybe colorize it and turn it into stained glass......the thick lines would make for good relief soldered edges, eh???

Exactly.....isolate the thick black lines.....then slap someting simple like my "MetalShop" filter/snippet on it for the raised solder edges from the glass.....
