I've spent ages trying to work out how an earlier artist [mfeex] managed to get the blue into their gothic picture 'tree' - has anyone got any ideas, or is this another early test background ? |

Whoops, sorry - that doesn't work.. if you go to 'Gallery', and then select Theme: Gothic, Order: Most Ratings, By: All - it's now on the bottom of page 4 .. and please tell me it's not just me that thinks that the background is blue ! |

sorry, again.. it's now on the 2nd line of page 4 (I just realised that it was right next to one of mine, so gave it a quick 5 rating !) |

I can't find the pic you are talking about, marg, but I have noticed that likemee achieved a much more bluish hue, by placing the purple next to green: |

One of the pieces has blue in it, it looks like just like what you see in the drawing. It is one of the bottom right options. |

You have used purple in two places in your gothic horse. Notice how much more blue it is when surrounded by green: |

Marg - I don't mean to be a butinski regarding your question about their being a "blue" in the Gothic. When I go into Gothic the flowers are a class of burgundy if you will, then elsewhere. for example, the lattice and one or two others are, I'd say, in the eggplant purple. Would you agree. I don't see anything in blue. I honestly never paid attention until I read your comment! |

Thanks, KM.. but maybe it really is just me.. the only time I see this blue is on this picture when it's small (i.e. on page 4, gothic, most ratings)..not when I click on it. |

marg - the difference in monitors (not to mention video cards inside the computer itself) is a HUGE issue. |

I am sure monitor settings make a difference. |

five, it's not just you. It looks very blue to me, too. The one above it (Something sinister) has a black background, and it is not the same. |

The black background is actually blue... Your eye doesn't see it as blue, it sees it as black unless you put REAL black on it... Then your eye sees the difference... |

You're right, marg. In the smaller picture, the background definately looks blue ... and it changes when enlarged. There is another, similar gothic in mfeex's gallery, and the background in that one looks much darker. Both were created on the same day in July 08. It remains a mystery to me. |

Most of Something Sinister is the black lattice pieces placed the the very dark blue background (putting aside the greys), so yes, it does appears blacker. If you look closely, you can see that what is not covered in black lattice pieces in fact appears bluish. |

.. I'm really glad some of you can see what I mean - I shall continue to treasure it as an oddity ! |

well.. I've had a look back at the early days of the gallery, and it looks like all the early ones (up until about mid-July 2008) have the same emphasised blue background (more or less, depending on the foreground, but nontheless a much more obvious blue). |
