PLEASE, be aware that you DO NOT have to read all this if you do not want, and you are not forced to do it, and I do not expect an answer to this.

Of course that I am not angry of thinking bad from you and I find it funny in the good way and I take it in the humorous side because I can´t be bad against you at all, it has been my error and not yours.

Again I am sorry for again making a LONG answer and I have a problem with this, because I tried to resume it and make is as short as possible but I could not.

I wanted to make this text as short as possible BUT when finishing I found this whole amount and have reduced it but can´t do it much. Sorry.

I am sorry for giving excessive compliments and been so long congratulations, and went over the board in expressing what I felt and how much I love your work you have done in your latest work.

It has been my fault an error in expressing it too much considering that you are Japanese that are less exposed to emotions and avoid to express them much (at least this is what is said and told in general Japanese culture) and you think is exaggerated for what you have done, but believe me that in my case is NOT exaggerated, this is really what I feel it, I REALLY LOVE MUCH your latest work and is excellently done.

And you are right that has been bad to put the negative part in bold and in caps, is true my error too, but I thought that you would not believe that ALL was good, so I wanted to put something negative to balance a little too much positive.

I know already that it can happen that you think you do NOT deserve or think that this can be possible, HOW can he say so much and express all this emotions about ME and my work you may think that this is ANOTHER work of the many beautiful you have done and do not understand why he is saying this, I understand now it and is NOT your fault.

Although I still think that you DESERVE to have this much (and even more ) compliments about your work from my personal point of view as I really LOVE IT MUCH

From Wikipedia JAPANESE AND EMOTIONS Cultural Emotion Expressions Japanese "are low in self disclosure, both verbally and non-verbally...Most of these attributes are ascribed to the Japanese people's collectivistic orientations."(Miyahara) This study conducted shows how the Japanese people, members of the Eastern culture, have a relatively low expression of emotion. "Emotional moderation in general might be expected to be observed in collectivist cultures more than in individualistic cultures, since strong emotions and emotional expression could disrupt intra-group relations and smooth social functioning."

I could definitly see those dreams on canvas on the wall!
Very good!!!

Is that Candy Land?

I have seen that it seems that you have rendered 6 different square designs in same style and then joined them together in rectangle, or am I wrong ?

It's the way the bomber works. If you look closely, the first 4 divisions on the left area actually joined by a large circle. It's barely visible but it's there.

And if you wait a bit I'm actually making prints. It's just that it takes a while to process them.

YES? And where are you going to sell them ? What size ?

Are you going to print them yourself ?

I would prefer to pay for the file and the artwork you have done and download it myself and print it myself instead of having to pay shipping costs and waiting for them to arrive.

Some base-level wall texture I generated for my game The Tower.

Now speaking on image downloads and stuff... I guess I'll do that sooner or later.

Uses my procedural wood texture and Bookshelf 2.0 (http://www.filterforge.com/filters/8308.html)

Level concepts for my game, THE TOWER (working title.)

Part of it is incomplete in terms of textures.

How is it going your work?. I like much what you are doing, very good and beautiful way to use your library filter in such a well done way.

And another one!

I have to say that since I have seen your "A dream about circles" collection, I every day and every night dream about your great artworks circles as I have fallen in love with them

As said, to remember them even more I will make a small postcard print of them and be able to see them each day to see how beautiful and wonderful they are.

Returning to my older filters.... totally updated!

I want!

Toy pyramids.

The recent finger print maker remixed. Kinda looks like clay... fails where it fails.

Nice! try some fresnel action too and maybe a slider for water detail (almost looks a little too smooth?) but it looks damn good anyway

Oh yeah and speaking of fresnel I added a profile gradient to the opacity parameter for the reflection. So now the further away you are the more it'll reflect, the closer you are it'll be less reflective.

I added an option so the edges can be feathered or not. I don't know how many people want it feathery but regardless the option is there.

Now I just need to tweak some of the problematic sliders.... Some of the parameters go whack mode when I do something to it and I just need to sit down and think about it.

Also remember that reflections are additive so use linear dodge or at least screen to blend them

edit: looks like you already have that, good hehe

the flood filter was always one of my favorites, too. looks like you've done a good job on it. there are some other flood filters in the library. might take a look at those for tips, if needed and wanted. for the perspective, my first thought was 'profile gradient' used in some manner to control the tilt of the 'flood', or maybe an offset to get a skew effect. not sure.

looking forward to seeing the guts on this one!

well, for tilt issues, i think you could just use the rotate component, but for skew issues you're going to need something else. try an impulse curve for adjusting the "top", "back" of the water downwards. i've used that before in filters like my waterfall filter. in your last image posted, the tilt is off, but i do think the rotate component could handle that.

i do know there is a way to skew something like a profile gradient. you shld be able to do the same with this.

you could also just pre-tweak the original image in photoshop before applying the filter

at any rate, i look forward to this one. i've used the old flood filter many times and would love to see it, especially as well as you're doing it, within the filter forge library

No, we live on a curved surface. Therefore everything is skewed.

But honestly, how did you do those hard shadows?

i meant skewed front to back. it's very easy to get this with the back of the flood being way too high depending on the picture.
