Just something I did for class and later realized there was "a little more to it"....

84 Rays.. look up the number 84 :)


I also meant it to look like some kind of mushroom/tree/star/starseed/starseed mandala... as I'm inclined to highlight such aspects of life... because...

Thanks for the comments on my image before... check out Exploration Of The Tree for some strung out psychedelic insights. I haven't finished the site yet.... and it will be a lot clearer, and look better, when I'm done.

Wood... that image really gets me-- I grew up with so much FPS play that sometimes I feel like my brain pruned itself exclusively for that kind of thing. One of my friends said I was half video game.. haha.
 
psychedelicious, urs is the kind that i would purchase and frame and hang on my wall. those are incredible!
 
here's a watercolor & chalk pastel work in progress. it's about to get a lot more fucked up once this layer dries & i can spray it with some fixative. it's not the greatest photo either, i took it indoors at night.

edit: here's a slightly better one with flash

^i'd make another hand, this one a closed fist, on the opposite site, maybe clenching something symbolyzing the antithesis of peace on earth...I dunno just a thought cause you asked. I like it though.

I was gonna post some of my shit, but after seeing all this great artwork I'm thinking damn there's no way i'm gonna embarass myself haha.
 
psychedelicious, personally i like the way that you developed the hand, with the haute-illustrator shading but the arm that the hand is attached to looks out of place because it doesn't share any dimensionality, it's very flat and when you have it curved up in that psychedelic manor (maybe not psychedelic but at least non-representational), you need to have something other than color to tie it into the hand because right now it looks neither background nor foreground, it's just sort of there.

personally, i don't think that you need another hand in there to balance it, but i do think that you could add a suggestion of something to the upper right hand corner just for compositions sake to make your eye move around the image better, lest it be totemic, as it is now.

edit: forgot to say, you should at least develop the wrist in the drawing more because now it's like hand --> arm not hand --> wrist --> arm
 
yeah psych those pieces rule :) i would also hang them on my wall!!


this is a photo of my boyfriend... that i shot, processed, and printed (then scanned). motherfucker was hard to get the color filters tweaked just right. but here it is.
