Featuring --FarDareisMai + Info for contest

As you know :iconfardareismai: won our May/June Congest...and thus warrants a feature. She has also come up with the new contest and I will be giving the details to you Sunday

It's Sunday!!

Here is the idea ~FarDareisMai has for us to attempted. Since it is rather difficult for some there will be a special chat arranged later in the month. Or just drop in and see who is there to discuss this with you.

Anyhow the name of the contest is Mask Madness And it entails working with masks and gradient transparency. Each layer but the bottom layer must be masked or have some transparency in its colors for removing an area or for blending puposes. Tough one huh? Blew what was left of my little mind! :)

Rules

:bulletred: The image must be created specificlly for this contest. It cannot be an old image or a reworked image. The image must be created entirely in Ulta-Fractal, the exception being your signature if you choose to add it.

:bulletred: You can submit only one entry. Once an entry is submitted you cannot change your mind and submit another image. the second image will be rejected.

:bulletred: Post your image in your Gallery, then send us a note with the words Contest or Contest submission in the subject. Please provide a link to the image in your gallery.

:bulletred:Your entry may be submitted starting today Sunday, June 15th. The Deadline will be Friday, July 18th, with Voting starting on Sunday July 20th. Winners will be announced the following Sunday.

Good Luck!

Featured Images


I am giving only a few of my favorites from her Gallery...please stop by and choose your own. This is very small sampling of what she does, and I'm sure you will find your own favorites. :)




I recommend that everyone view these works in "fullview", to make sure you see the texture work.

Her work is different and very interesting, beautiful and well thought-out, a great feature!

:bulletred: First comes the feeling. The idea follows. :bulletred:
So, for those participating in this next contest, will you be asking for parameters to check that we in fact did use masks for each layer but the bottom?

eeek didn't think of that part. But you are right...we will have to check the params to make sure procedure was followed.

So just for clarification, as long as each layer has the transparency box checked or there is a masking layer underneath, it falls under the requirements, right?

Sorry I'm so late on an answer for you. The Transparency has to be in the gradient itself. In other words you must either remove a value in your gradient or at least lower it to partial transparency. I hope that is a clearer explanation. :worry:
Just a thought...but wouldn't it be easier [depending on the number of entries] To ask the top 3 for thier params, to make sure that they followed procedure?
