this wasnt planned to be a picture

just wanted to try something...an idea i had, how to make diamonds but it didnt work out the way i wanted it to be

so the flower polygon is made in shape paths again, then rotated with clone layer tool
next i used the path tool to make selections of individual shapes, filling them with a gradient and then rotating again
step by step you get a grayscale gradient flower and to colorize i put a colorful gradient on top of it

im not happy with the middle of the flower, tried several things, but got bored and called it a day

of course i couldnt post it the way it is and had to do another of my typography things on it

not my best work, but post it anyway, hope you like






EDIT:
decided to attach the xcf file as well...hopefully somebody wants to play around with what i made so far

Really looks cool Esper. The hexagon grill makes it work for me.

Really nice, like the colours.

Hi Esper!

I read the description and tried to reproduce my own diamond shapes but ended up with a mess, lol!
I really need to learn how to use shape paths script and CLT. Are you planning on making a tutorial by any chance?
I would looooooove to learn from you!

Thanks,

K1TE

my first ever tutorial here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5445

How can I not have seen this topic?
Fortunately he was resurrected, I could confer.
I'll check the .xcf, seems to have fun in sight.

because i posted that before you registered

(im amazed, 40 people actually downloaded the xcf)

Dammm I looked at the day and the month, and did not notice the year ...
I thought it was the 5th of this month.
I gave it a read in the tutorial ... scary!
Looked at the .xcf, and the number of layers alarmed even more.
But it is tempting!
