Thanks Steve. I think a lot of us missed the electric bar - we were too busy taking out the wire underneath! |

Thanks Steve. I didn't realize that was an electric bar!  I'm not familiar with electric fire places. I'm a country boy, and we've always used wood!

Re: Contest 194: Build me a fire
Thanks for the comments and welcome Steve. I now see what you mean about the perspective on the bricks. I did not notice that when I placed the bricks in the fireplace. Most of my attention went to creating the fire and trying to make the size of the people, chair and the lighting fit the scene. Everything in the fireplace was created from scratch. The Bricks, the fire (which took me some time to create to make it look like fire). The fire was created using the Custom Shape Tool and used the Fire shape to create the flames. Then I added the Clouds, Chrome, and the Plastic Wrap filters and several patterns that came with photoshop. The Bricks were created several months ago as an experiment in trying to create realistic looking bricks. I'll be happy to explain on how I created the bricks. Below is the original brick pattern that was used for the fireplace.

Thanks Steve, I'm thrilled to get a title, my first ever! The room color is both a photo filter adjustment layer and messing with a gradient map of colors in the flames. |

Thanks Steve. Vibeke was right. It was harder than it looked. |

It's too hot!  That's too funny! That explains why I just couldn't put anything or anybody in that room!
If you walk around in a pine woods here, you'll occasionally find a stump that's been preserved from decay because it's impregnated with its own resin. We call it "fat lighter" and it burns just like my fire. I think I'll just take this one outside and call it a campfire.
Luis, those bricks look better than real. Go ahead and show what you did. _________________ I aim to give pause. |
