    What Is It? — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Secret Weapon Reveal.

    For this week’s challenge, I used three different baseline shots. These were taken at the Kelvingrove Museum & The Burrel Collection at Pollock Country Park.

    The first prompt came out really well & I’m using the resulting picture as my entry for this week.

    Following yesterday’s post about the pansy sculpture, I’ve reimagined the sculpture in an old, disused gallery (see carousel below). The first run came out quite good, but I wanted the gallery more run down, so back to the prompt. I then added in some steampunk & cyberpunk elements.

    For this cute wee pansy, I’ve done a sculpture transformation. Initially, it came out as black & white, so I amended the prompt to keep the original colours

    Tomorrow, I’ll be putting the pansy sculpture in an old art gallery setting; see you then

    I’m starting my historic Scotland?????? series with some shots of old ships in Dundee taken on our recent visit.

    Unfortunately, we weren’t aware that some historical interest sites in Dundee are closed on Mondays. These shots are all external, but we will be visiting Dundee again & getting some internal shots of these old vessels.
