ILLUVESI - illuminati , the verb , sefira

First and foremost, no ps filters or 3rd party plugins where used in creating the 3 images. You only need the basic effects in fireworks, and some mastery of the tools used. Lets start off when the first one, which is illuminati > thanks to Greg Martin for making a tutorial on galaxies, stars and planets. Although it was written for photoshop, it was quite a challenge for it was my 1st time to make these celestial objects ( as you can see, there are still some parts which needs improvement, specially on clouds ). Planets where easy, stars a bit difficult to master, and since we have no difference clouds in fireworks, i had to improvise , and the asteroid rocks are just simple gradients applied with a color curve effect. But it paid off pretty well , and i hope u guys are inspired to make these things in fireworks 2.

The next one is THE VERB , a sort of followup from the mind voe, actually i took out the eyes from there. and there the image evolved to something better. Using the same effects i had used on my voe designs.

The last one is something special, i rarely do vectors in copying faces ( vectorizing portraits ) and im so happy i finally had the chance to do so. Still it has it flows but hey, i made a good job for my 1st try ryt? I also decided to make the colors monochromatic, for a unique feel to it. The guy on the shades is me, heheh. Do u have any questions ? comments ? Gimme a message
