This is the digital painting of an iris. Irises are some of my favorite flowers. I thank Liz West, from flickr, for the original photo of the iris, that inspired me to create this digital painting. I used different sizes brushes, smudging, and blending modes. (5 years and 2441 days ago)

At the moment there is no distortion of the background within the ball itself....

Good call, made the distortion. Hope it looks more convincing now, thanks.

Love the crystal ball. I think leaving a little more texture in the box would have been better - but like the clean clarity of your scene too. Good luck.

Thanks to jerostone for the Telegraph.

Thanks to Clinge for the Mug.

There is no SBS due to corrupted files. I cut and pasted a lot... ;) rearranged TELEGRAPH, cut out logo and flipped mug, stretched bits to change perspective, added gold Soft Light and Color Burn layers at the end. (5 years and 2601 days ago)
