Jamie, I like the direction that's taking- nice to see sacred geometry motifs fused with more personal elements like that.
Beacon, really cool. I'm sort of a sucker for that apocalyptic future stuff. You familiar with Alex Ruiz?

Ditto, I think this is most lovely to behold, Jamie!  There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.

Me trying to be creative, but still somehow not at all what I was aiming for (perhaps because there's no color). Maybe I'll try painting it when I have time...

I really like your style Jamie, great stuff, really beautiful work "The love I've made is the shape of my space"

Jamie, that looks great. Definitely one of your more fully realized pieces. FYI you won't get a good photo indoors with a flash, regardless of camera. If you take a photo outside on a hazy day using a tripod, no flash, with the sun partly off to one side, you should get much better results. If you want a hand with the final Photoshop cleanup and glare removal etc, please let me know.
Hixi, nice music entity. Color for sure!
And the caapi claw thing is really cool...

good work guys , @hixidom if you want to add colours automatically to your image you can use gimp to add a colour map , below i attached a image thats a sketch however i added a colour map and it provides a few cool effects to plain sketches , edit : in retrospect perhaps using a colour map is not as worthwhile as painting it oneself Jin attached the following image(s): trees.jpg (97kb) downloaded 368 time(s).illusions !, there are no illusions
there is only that which is the truth

Yeah, it's not just about the color. There's a certain unintentional flow and vibrance to painting (at least when I do it  ) that will help me produce a truer portrayal. The color map example you posted is pretty cool though, considering that the coloring is automatic. Every day I am thankful that I was introduced to psychedelic drugs.

some vinyl labels.  god saved me from drowning

Beacon, those are cool. I like when artists who normally do intensively realized works switch to something really minimal and restrained, because you can still see a lot coming through despite the simplicity.
|
|
|
thanks Guy, yeah i do all the artwork for that particular music label, always try to keep it simple. god saved me from drowning

This thread is equally depressing and empowering. Depressing because i don't have great stuff to show off and some of you guys are just too good. Empowering, because it makes me want to do more and get better at what i am doing. Here is something i did for my cousin as a present.
