I started with this	Then made this	Then reversed the process of step2

I just felt the need to share
Any Art I Post (anywhere throughout the forums) may be use by the community since most of it is icon art anyway.

Nice! Gravity one is really fitting, Time just looks weird. And Entropy is all sped up XD

[lava golem]

How'd you get to the second step? o.O

[SnoWeb]

Entropy has originally the highest symmetry. That why it is the one that survive the best through these transformation.
You could use this as a base to participate to this competition: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14279.0.html

[Kael Hate]

These makes some really nice borderwork

Really interested in the process to get from A to B

[Memorystick]

How'd you get to the second step? o.O

Looks to me like the icon was "cut" to the middle from the top, "stretched" to make it rectangular (like being pulled from the edges, or something), and then copied/pasted/flipped 180 degrees right above that. The third then took that, and connected the ends to make a new circular "icon", with an inside-out version of the original icon in the middle, and a bloated version of the original around that.

EDIT: the third step versions also look kinda like tunnels

[lava golem]

agreed with Kael Hate, step two looks really nice if extended

[$$$man]

Lol I love how life looks like you just dropped a water drop in the middle.

[TimerClock14]

did u use some kind of polar inversion for step 2? It would be really good to decorate a banner or something with

[EmeraldTiger]

TimerClock14 got it right , I used pixlr /filter/polar coordinates/polar to rect, be sure to resize canvas to make all fit, edit/select all/copy image/rotate canvas 180, then adjusted position of first layer, paste in second layer, adjust position of second layer, adjust canvas to fit desired image. save

Edit:I made this with what I taught myself.

[EmeraldTiger]

In case you didn't under stand what i did in previous post I'll explain better.\
using http://pixlr.com/editor/


start with circle image


make new transparent image that has a height 2x the original.


select original image, select filter/polar coordinates/polar to rect


copy the result of step 3, and paste into step 2, Rotate canvas 180 degrees, using top right tool move layer to desired location, do a second paste, and again adjust position of layer (it maybe needed to switch back and forth between layers),To prevent a hole be sure to position Image to the top of the canvas. save image close image


Open image just saved, set image size 256x256


Go back to select filter/polar coordinates/rect to polar, save and done

[EmeraldTiger]

please move this to the appropriate art location.

I gonna provide some icon Kaleidoscope Art soon.
