This is a very creative piece. You've also done a wonderful job on the shadowing.

Very cool, and good colors. It's all at least subtly cyan, but with little isolated centers of very vivid blue. It's great, really.

Thank you. I enjoy playing with colours, though I do tend towards the monochromatic end of the spectrum.

It's an absolutely great picture I love the concept - including the butterflies which in a way symbolizes hope, like it's their souls dissapearing together to a better world.

Too bad I'm on a slow connection, it took me ages to load the full view. There are ways to make large pictures smaller without loosing visible quality. If you use photoshop there's the save for web option where you can "shrink" the picture size a lot without really noticing any difference.

Thank you for your comments. I glad you like the image, and I'm sorry it took so long. Everyone says it's far too large. From now on I'm posting everything smaller.

ElusiveReality [2006-06-21 10:59:54 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, such an interesting concept. The eyes are creepy. I do like how you matched the blues together. . . kind of suggests a link between the butterflies, eyes, and spheres. My favorite part is that little clock within one of the eyes, hehe. I'd say it could be a representation of the theoretically omniscent characteristic of time.

shimaspawn In reply to ElusiveReality [2006-06-21 15:34:03 +0000 UTC]

That's for the very in depth commment. I was going for a link between the objects. In my mid they're all bits of the thing in the box. I'm glad you noticed the clock eye. That one took the longest to get looking right. In my head the meaning of it was a bit more outer limits though. "We control the horizontial and the vertical... etc."

I absolutely love all the texture in full view, although its quite large. The tone of it is nice as well with the blues. I really enjoy looking at it. I could stare for hours and hours.

alex098 [2006-05-25 19:00:28 +0000 UTC]

its good! but in full view, you can see that all the elements dont really fit together so well, so either add effects opnto the chest and arm to make them match the background

or simply cheat and make the full view smaller

shimaspawn In reply to alex098 [2006-05-25 22:48:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I'll probably make it smaller at some point, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
