The rosette was created by drawing one petal, applying a layer style and then warping copies of it to follow the curve of the flower.
The octopus was drawn with the pen tool. Each piece had a chrome reflection map applied to it along with various layer effects. The background is a photo of a kelp bed, also used to create the reflection map.
All of these images were inspired by nature. The leaf was drawn with the pen tool. It’s gradients and textures were created in Adobe Photoshop, and pieces were warped to fit the shape of each section. The snowflakes were drawn by tracing photographs of real snowflakes. Various gradients and layer effects were then used to create the icy look.
