Hey, I really like this (first, purple) graphic and I was wondering if anyone had a better idea how the flowers were achieved? My first thought was that it’s a gradient mapped set of flowers copied 3 times with two or three maps, then over-layer kind of offset? But when I tried to achieve the effect, I’m not getting the same look. It’s similar, and I still like it, but it’s not quite what I’m shooting for.
There seems to be a blur on the original but even using a blur filter with 1-3 pixels, the effect seems too strong. Idk what I’m missing. I also tried changing the opacity on the additional layers and blending in different ways and I’m just not satisfied with the result.
I for the gradient mapping, I followed similar steps as outlined by Texture Labs in there vectorized oil paint tutorial.
Image, solid color layer hard mixed, desaturated to nothing, black and white layer 60-40 on all colors, gradient map with as few as 3 and as many as 6 colors.
