January 6: Dispersion (Technique Challenge)

This one was killer. I finally found a tutorial I understood somewhat.

 

Thank you @IntenseMagic - yes it was when I was trying to liquefy the subject. I couldn't get the strokes to be nearly as long as yours. I will try to upload an image... (epic fail)!!! LOL!

 

Well this did not work for me the way it should, so after I extracted, I painted in what should have liquified. Then I clipped paint spatters to what I "liquified." I love the way it gives movement and the feeling of it, even if I could not get the actual steps to work.

I left the background out, because it was just distracting.

 

Here's my page:

 

I did it! Thanks for the challenging challenge

 

Thanks for your tutorial that introduced me to some new tools! Here is my page:

 

so hard this challenge!!!! but i did it!!! lol

 

@IntenseMagic - a new picture and more practice was what I needed

 

I followed the tutorial but somehow mine didn't seems to have quite the same sense of movement...maybe becuase by subject is sitting? Not sure... but here's my attempt. Still came out looking pretty cool!

 

I love how I was able to make this challenge make it look like the wind was sloughing off the sail...

 

@IntenseMagic THANK YOU Jan for a fabulous and easy tutorial on creating the dispersion effect! I haven't done this technique before and now I have spent the last three days playing with it using different photos, brushes etc. LOL! So much for getting my housework done! but I must say I feel MUCH MORE satisfied seeing this finished layout than a clean house!!!

 

I hope I did it right. I did it on the sting ray. My daughter loved the effect!

journaling:
I touched it. I was so scared. I kept looking, waiting, putting my hand in the water. I would scream and pull my hand back. Then Mommy said we were going to continue on to the rest of the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef because I kept pulling back. So then she went to the other side. I said one more time.
I was really going to do it. I did it! I touched it and Mommy captured the moment to share with Daddy. I wish Daddy was there but no he had to go get his hair cut. At least another memory in Mommy’s books with me. Maybe some day Daddy will want to experience things with me. If not he always has pictures. Since he is always busy working.
