LOL!!! rings out smelling salt again!! LOL!! It is ok, they are not real...they werent even intentional!!
It was funny Ben, cause originally this pic, I was working on flames for your smoking contest amongst other types of characters, and as I was working on it, it just evolved into an entirely different piece!!

No problem, Rachel. I really like your work. I really like your Medusa pieces, they put on paper what I see in my mind whenever I read a story or poem that has the Gorgons in it.

this is pretty intense---yes---those eyes. Breasts? Yes--you make make a case for them on the right side. Sucks? Nooo. I certainly don't think so.

LOL!! THank you Stephen!! It is funny cause I did not put any breasts in the pic, but it looks to be my painting in the flames formed them from my mouse...which I think is funny and must mean it was meant to be there!! lol!!

Stepbeyond In reply to rachelab74 [2006-11-07 05:45:30 +0000 UTC]

oh yes---I understand. Since my work is all improvisational---sometimes forms just take on certain looks---shapes. If it's strong enough I will define--etc---but sometimes it's the whole that makes other images come out.
Sorry---I'm so tired---don't know if this is coming out right lol
One thing is certain---another hot intense work.

Great play between highly textured areas and areas that seem to make texure out of smooth, bright light. The repetition of the eyeball motiff really works, and you haven't gone overboard with the glow in the eyes - they seem to be reflecting light with some special quality rather than eminating an evil glow. You've got the elements of horror down right too... giving us realistic elements rather than hyper-stimulated CGI... a composition and collage rather than a slick computer world. Very likeable piece with cool componant parts pulled together thematically and with technically smooth transtitions. Expressive compostion that comes across as realistic and all the scarier for it.

THank you!! I may need awhile to absorb that comment!! **big grin on face**LOL!! I had lots of fun just playing with texture on this one, and you are definitely right, moreso a collage for composition, which was the fun part!!! Even though a bit late for halloween, i thought ...aaahh, why not!!

You're welcome!! I've sketched your gorgon pic, but don't have a scanner at the moment... It's been fun trying to place all the snakes!!!

rachelab74 In reply to Sindah [2006-11-09 03:49:07 +0000 UTC]

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see it!! heheee, especially cause your motivation is greater then mine!! I have had the gorgon drawing as just a thought for far too long now!! So when you say sketched, does it mean it is not a done piece yet???

Sindah In reply to rachelab74 [2006-11-09 06:12:43 +0000 UTC]

Far from done I'm afraid!! I still haven't decided exactly how I'm going to do it yet... But I started sketching it in my diary and figured it would be A4 size, but got carried away and now I think it's probably more likely to be an A3 watercolor!! I'm so tempted to throw in a bit of metallic highlight, but it usually ruins the pic because I end up going overboard... But we'll see!!

rachelab74 In reply to Sindah [2006-11-09 23:40:27 +0000 UTC]

Actually that would be cool!!! I did on the original costume, have some metallic glitter in the face, but you cant tell on the pics!! So that would be interesting to see how it turns out!!

Sindah In reply to rachelab74 [2006-11-11 00:54:41 +0000 UTC]

I've got some holographic glitter which would look awesome... But I'm going overboard already!!! I've got to get the darned thing drawn first!!!

LOL!! Too funny, ever since your comment, about two or three other people mentioned it!! which actually makes me a little, especially cause it was created by a mouse, moving flames around!!
