Welcome in making the Odyssey Tutorial. I guess this tutorial is a digital still life one too. Digital still life series - organic curves in combination with high tech industrial design using digital media.

So let's make a design.

First create a document.



Fill it with gradient then. Here are the gradient settings.






Create a new layer. On this layer we will use a very interesting technique that came from illustrator. First draw some curves using Pen Tool.






Choose a brush. I've chosen brush # 1047 in my list.



Choose the settings.









..and the color:



Choose Patch Selection Tool and select the path. Stroke it.






Result:



We have now a pattern which we can use like our basic design element or theme, call it as you like.

Create a copy of our pattern; make it way bigger that the original, maybe warp it a little bit.






Position it at the top of the image and change the layer settings. Mode: From normal - to - hard mix; Opacity: From 100% - to - about 30-40%.












Create a copy of the initial pattern and change its color to lighter even than the background. It will create something like glow effect.



Merge the layers when you think you are done with elements order.



Transform the element.



This is when the story came actually. It really looks like dirigible. I will also Pinch my background a little bit.
