Description Close your eyes,
yet find yourself
still submerged
in the muck of a million thoughts.
Thick wet camouflage.
True silence is when
your essence stands in awe,
completely motionless,
attuning to the truth.

Neat! I never noticed the 'truth' before you posted this before, either! The colours are electric, exactly as intense as the piece calls for, but no more.

I like the concept. This reminds me of some of ~meandermind 's work.

I love how it looks like you can feel the lines. I also adore the color pallet.

Oh yes, I knew the colors would be critical to the success of the piece. So, with great technical intentional planning, I...hoped like crazy they would turn out.

Wow, the concept on this is something straight out of Tim Burton's worst nightmares XD Awesome stuff

I'm not sure if Tim Burton's *worst* nightmares would be grotesquely evil, or pretty and fluffy. I suspect the latter might horrify him more.

Thanks! And 'next' will hopefully be SOON... No promises though, as I am currently doing my best to become a coffee goddess (aka Barista Supreme) as swiftly as possible. Which kinda cuts into the art.

This one kind of reminds me of some sort of old sci-fi book cover, like the kind of book that would have yellowed pages. I'm not sure if it's the colors or the style or the subject, but it's interesting that it reminded me of that. Took me a second look to notice "truth" there, but I've been doing that lately.

Nice.

Yes, I didn't want "truth" to hit you over the head, but I was hoping people would see it on the second or third look, so...yay!

Twice? Are you a member of *Acid-Burst-Love-Fed ? I had the strange experience of seeing my own deviation in my devWATCH, just because they added it. Weird.
