Description Something that kinda lost its original purpose, and ended up being quite random.
I got bored of working on it, and just decided to leave it as it is.

I love the landscape of this picture, and how all the shapes and structures tie into each other/relate to each other.

I love it, looks to me like the creature was formed from the landscape. I really love how you've done the pink part, its got such a strong organic look.

I once hear my sister say (and she probably quoted it from someone else) that a piece of artwork is never truly done, the artist just decided to stop working on it

I like the smiley face in the glowy thing, that is quite random. Maybe that's how emoticons are born

chickensmoothie [2008-01-27 08:39:59 +0000 UTC]

it's just so intricately detailed with all the bones and muscles and skin folds and everything so well defined... and then there's just that smiley face in there... xD it's awesome

Very strange and interesting. And the flat-smile face in the light made me laugh.

My interpretation is probably a bit odd. The different materials he's surrounded by remind me of all the media that artists use. He seems like a project that someone just left behind..a life they just didn't bother to finish creating. The face in the orb reminds me of how artists feel when faced with art block, or rather the face our projects seem to make at us when they aren't cooperating

zarathus In reply to Solemnbum [2008-01-14 03:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Interesting interpretation, I wouldn't have thought of that, but that thought does fit well with the picture. Thanks very much, its awesome hearing what others can make out in my art

You come up with some pretty interesting things. Wonder what happens when he finishes combining with the environment.

haha nice touch with the emoticon :]

WinterBlueArt [2007-12-22 11:57:57 +0000 UTC]

Random indeed, but still very unique in every way =] Ah yes.. a time to sit, kick back and relax, and play with a glowing neutral smiley floating between the claws Maybe I should do that too from time to time..

Anywho, aside from the concept, all is looking really spiffy and smooth. Great use of colours aswell the pose is rather interesting =] Love it!

As I was saying, he's trying to channel energy into the stare-face sphere in order to stave off the encroaching mutation, all with the help of his trusty doppelganger.

Its very inspirational, a lot of random things lead to new ideas, and some very good storys have been made from random floating ideas that come together when you see something like this

Thanks muchly. And I agree. I have quite a love for what might appear as "randomness" in art, since you can pluck many potential ideas and meanings from it.

Gawd, those textures and that coloring. You're just trying to show how much the rest of us suck at digital art, aren't you? Hmmm?

I wish D: I still frequently feel like I suck, when I look around at other galleries. I'm still no where near I want to be with art. But it seems art-stuff is a never ending quest for improvement.
Thanks!

And the 'smiley' in the orb. Hah! I totally want to draw emoticon magic orbs now. In fact, I think that's the best possible use for magic shiny orbs.

kinda scary, I think it what would make it better is if that was the center of the image and then a bunch of other things were happening around it. That way it wouldn't seems so random 8o
