Description
I'm not exactly sure why I did this one, to be honest. I found myself revisiting the previous post, and thought "maybe I can make these look a little more brick-like?" which ended up here. I'm not even sure how I got here, but I do like the results. Unfortunately JPEG compression has reduced the quality, but even at this level it's mostly pleasing to me. Especially since there's not a single actual photographic element in this. The brick outline was done in Adobe Illustrator, but everything else was started with just a blank document, and some gaussian noise. A zillion filters later, and a little more than a half-dozen layers, I ended up with this. It makes a nice background on my computer, too!

Quite a nice texture, Mike! It really does look like aged bricks or pavers. Actually, I wish I could put a low wall like this in my yard - maybe a circle or oval shape with some nice low flora, and a dozen or so of those solar powered LED lights around the perimeter... See - now you've got me redesigning my whole yard! LOL! Very cool Photoshop playing, my friend!
I like this one too! Excellent!
...continue your tests please...
Yeah, that's a nice brick effect.
would make a wonderful building texture in a 3D program for sure
This is so cool. It reminds me of the brood cells in a yellow jacket nest; they have a nice bubble-wrap texture to them, but you can see that they're constructed of paper and maybe even silk woven by the larvae inside, pupating into stinging, fashion-forward tea-raiders. Needless to say that just took the appeal of this "shot" into another direction. I love the colors and the overall texture. The title gave me a good laugh too: I was thinking of the various ages we've named in human history: the Dark Ages, the Peleolithic Age, the Bronze Age...and yeah, wedged somewhere in there, the False Age, but I have no idea what happened (or will happen) during that time period. It's an interesting thing to try and figure out, though. This is a marvelous creation and I love the fact that it just came about at random. Superb! Oooh, I wonder if it could also be a Nemaean wall texture...one never knows, especially if Nemaeans are involved.
