how i made my latest HEXELS2 image. My hardware is getting pretty out of date and is having problems with recording while creating in HEXELS so this is mostly layer revels to give an idea of how i made the image. Although i cannot stand 'chromatic aberration' in games (that distorted colour effect in battlefield, division, need for speed etc) i felt the b&w image was a little lifeless without a little colour. i used a colour wheel glow effect in hexels2 software. Hexels2 has no text option and because of the trixel resolution i was working with - my only option was to add the text later in photoshop - after exporting a png from hexels2. This was always my intention - for the text aspects of the image. to maintain the isometric effect of the image - only skew and rotation were applied to the text elements.
