Description
This is done for DA's 16th birthday.I usually don't like adult colouring books, but perhaps this should be an exception. I almost like the idea to see where people's pareidolia can carry them. But I was never really good with seeing things that may or may not be there, so I decided to take a slightly different route to this project. This "bloom" is comprised of the colours of a colour wheel, running through a gradation of saturation levels. It's a journey through the world of colour, let's say. And through our travels, may our imagination bloom. It's the colour blooms of our individual imagination that makes up the garden that is DeviantArt.

I like to color these kinds of drawings, because it is soothing to me. I most often love the abstract ones best. I really love how you did the gradation here. I also like the brightness of the colors used. Somehow I think the line-art is cat-inspired, because I see at least two cats in there. Could be me though, I'm pretty biased about cats...

Nothing wrong with cats! 
I don't quite see the cats (maybe because I'm a dog person more...) But I am really glad that you liked this piece! That means a lot to me!

In the left upper corner I see a bird upside down. If you would turn this picture 90 degrees to the right you would see a cat in the right upper corner. If you turn it again (the whole piece upside down) you see a cat in the right halve of the piece and the light-blue dark-blue striped tail.

Hmmm... I gotta do that at some point in time... just so I can see the cats.
Thanks for letting me know. Now I gotta go hunt the cats down!

Thanks for your very kind words!
If you like it, you can take a copy of it, I don't mind at all.
If you want, you can download the template and colour one for yourself, too.

You may not see what other people can see, but you have good color domain
Why all look so good except mine? Ganbatte Spidey!

Well... let's put it this way... when one door is closed to you, perhaps another door will open.
I don't see a lot of things that other, more imaginative people can see. But at least I can see colours. 
... Ganbatte, Spidey! I know you can do it! You have what it takes!!!
And thank you very much for your support!

Yes unless you're in a pressurized airplane 
Meh... I just want another fancy badge

Well... Gotta be honest with you... I was innit for the badge, too.
Something fun I put together really quickly, after all.
But I've seen what you've done. And you were absolutely selling yourself short!

Well actually I thought "another anniversary and I can have another badge

I don't do adult-colour book, either. When I saw this, my eyes kinda rolled.
But I am almost glad I did this. Not just for the shiny new badge, mind. But more because I can tell myself that I can do something I don't usually do. And I can prove to myself that an "alternative" way of looking at the world can still apply.
My pareidolia skill may be awful... but at least I have colour sense? Maybe?

I like color, but this seems childish, until I saw what other artists could do. Certainly I did for the badge but it was fun to do it anyway

I know myself better... I know I did it for the badge!
... And the big about colours? Well... you've seen my usual palette, right? I work in 4 colours: black, off-black, white and off-white!
Once in a while it's nice to indulge in colours, though.
And remember... don't sell yourself short. If I can see what you are trying to put into the picture, you've done a thumping good job!

Yes, you're like a machine in black and white 
I know I always say this

... I am a quantum computer! In black and white! ... no, honestly, no. Just joking... A quantum computer will be all kinds of 50-shades of Grey. And I can't stand that stuff.... 
If it's any consolation... I don't think of myself as much of an artist, either. I don't care what other people tell me... I'm just a specialized type of hack who likes to tinker with stuff, that's all. Sometimes I am surprised at how people see me as an artist and I still don't understand it myself. But just like what I keep on telling you... I hope you'll never sell yourself short! And I'll try to tell myself the same thing, too!
