Reflex - The Analysis

Reflex

Made this on a sunday evening.

Its simpler than it looks. Not much going on with my usual shadow/glow alchemy, except for a white inner glow from center.

Basically just two layers with fg-bg gradients (orange to purple and green to blue-gray) split by a layermask.

A small inner bevel and the big outer bevel.

That shadow/reflection thing is motionblur and the background brushes.

Oregonian on Gimpchat asked: "what he means by splitting with a layermask ?"

(and btw, when she says he, she means me not Sauron, lol).

Here is a screenshot of the layermask and gradient-layers:
