I created this as a 1920x1200 widescreen desktop wallpaper. This is a combination of a number of techniques. I first started by doing multiple gradients in Photoshop with the blend mode option set to difference. I then layered Tierazon and ChaosPro fractals over this, coloring and blending to get the right effects. Finally I added the orb and jewels and silver. Hope you enjoy.

The detail and the hues sure kept my eyes on the move, Nathan. I also enjoyed the angle of the chains leading to the center jewel. I cannot even imagine the work involved in creating this but I'm glad you did it - thanks! Patty

You do have some great techniques Nathan. I wish I had a tiny bit of that kind of talent. You have done a wonderful job here.

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.

I sit here in total awe of your creations ! I shake my head in wonderment. You are so "casual" about it, as tho it is so simple. How did YOU learn how to do these? Can
you share your secrets with us? Gosh Nathan, by now you should have a "coffeetable' book and you ought to be a famous jewelry designer too. I LOVE the purple in this one.
It's passionately delicious!!..Verena
