hey mrae! click the re-touch text link on the top right of the image title bar (i'm seeing it in the board view) just to the right of the title, artist name and time

i clicked it and i can see the giant grid of circles just fine, maybe try again? which browser are you using and what version?

Yanbu, don't know what my usual browser is (i'm pretty much computer illiterate and would live in a techno cave) but firefox is working fine :)

STEP 3 start the color pattern.... okay, so i got carried away and forgot i was doing this one in stages, basically i pick one of the dot sizes and start counting and coloring until i like the pattern/color combos.

sort of like this... using the reverse mask for the black.

now that all the big dots have been colored, its time to tackle the little ones. still using reverse mask for black. since the little ones are all that's left its easier and can use the line or square tools to do fades.

after coloring the little dots (i just used a single color here) color the white background (can do fades with white mask but i just used one color)

i usually play around with the background colors (oooh the preeety colors) for a while seeing how different combos do different things

mrae10/30/2007 6:25:18 pm
changed the little dots and the background :)
mrae10/30/2007 6:28:32 pm
P.S. the pattern is the hardest part, requires counting and stuff and coloring in the dots one by one generally so it does take a while but don't panic, i was on the phone for a while so it wasn't actually 7 hours+ :) There you have it, enjoy... :)

*** Yanbu, seriously, this is incredible and fantastic and i think i feel faint :)
mrae10/30/2007 6:31:10 pm
P.S.S Tiles really nicely if i do say so myself....
