Minimalism & Intricacy

Forest Dweller

We think these are the best Elf images we have created so far! In the one above you can see how Mj randomly adds elements that are usually bizarre, but sometimes perfect, like this sweet Elf’s darker skin pigmentation, which we think is a really beautiful touch…

… we love everything about these images…

… we love the sharpness of the detail…

… the lushness of the plant colour…

… the falling rain/dew, which is another element Mj spontaneously added…

… and, of course, the absolutely gorgeous Elves (:

Framed Elf

Playing around with frames…

… we created this gorgeous Elf babe in Mj…

… and we tried making frames in Mj, but it just couldn’t grasp the concept of an ‘art nouveau frame’… it could do frames, but they were NOT art nouveau…

… we tried Night Cafe, but, although it did a much better job, they were too much like a Disney version of an art nouveau frame…

… but Dream Machine produced lots of really nice, very art nouveau, frames. So here we have the perfect working combo of three (counting glorious Photoshop CS5.1) different programs. We really adore this sweet elf, everything about her. We’re not sure the whole ‘framed’ thing looks any good, but it’s an idea we’ve wanted to explore for a while, so this is a start (:

Gothic Romance

Loving the Alien

We just adore these gorgeous, alien sweethearts we are currently creating…

… they are so beautiful…

… we actually don’t have the superlatives for how adorable we find them…

… other than to say we love them (:

Alien Girlz R Gorgeous

We are currently on a wonderful ‘alien girlz’ roll…

… as we’ve mentioned, recently, we now pretty much only use the ‘blend’ function in Mj…

… we are finally amassing a really good collection of what we call ‘useable seed’ images… these are images we have previously created in Mj, images of gorgeous, slinky creatures, but, most importantly, images that Mj doesn’t start screaming ‘pornography!!’ when we try to re-use them. This has, basically, taken years to accumulate, and lots of frustration at having beautiful images dismissed as NSFW, when there is zero nudity in them at all…

… anyway, we now have a good enough library of images that Mj’s puritanical filters will allow us to use to create such gorgeous alien sweetheartz as these (:
