Something for the Weekend - Part 246 - Holding Pattern!

[davescm]

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenge, there were some great ideas to hide the cellphone mast. 

This week we have something a bit different. I made this cell like pattern in Adobe Substance 3D Designer. It was for a different purpose and was made with a full set of 3D maps to use as a material. I wondered though what this group could make with the Base Colour map? So here it is. You could use all of it, part of it, or tile it (it was made to tile) and use the extended pattern to make something new.

When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

They have to be a pair of Pat Butcher (East Enders) ear rings.

It has an Eastern look to it, I like it.

Nice earings.

Wallpaper! (Not recommended if you drop acid) I took the window from one of my illustrations, the stool from another one.

I have no idea what you are talking about Leslie.

GET THOSE SPIDERS AWAY FROM ME!

[Jacob Bugge]

No more awaydays, Trevor?

[Leslie Moak Murray]

hahaha!

[Jacob Bugge]

Lesley, I am more worried about the wall than the paper, or is it a wallpaper paperwall?

[davescm]

Not the most relaxing wallpaper is it? 🙂 I love your illustration style as always.

If it reaches 28 days do we get the rage virus? 🙂

It is on a cellular level. 🤣 Using Photoshop, playing with colors, embossing, overlays and patterns.

[davescm]

I like the embossed look to that, Jumpenjax. My original material that I took the flat pattern from, for the starter image, was a 3D material with height that looked similar.

Thanks Dave, that is funny. I have never seen this art before.

Sold! 🙂  A nice job with the image and the box, although the edge text could do with distorting to match the perspective. I find popping it into a smart object and using transform > distort on the smart object works well for that.

[J E L]

Great idea, @davescm. Thanks for the tip!

Very nice @J E L ! 

I have to add that it brought back fond memories of SFTW 64 back in 2019:

Fond memories indeed, Jane.

[J E L]

A bit before my time, @jane-e, but I love your “best of” volume!

Very nice - the pattern works well as a material on that balloon. Did you use Photoshop to distort it or did you take, in my view the simpler way, and use a 3D application?
