been a little while, (no internet at home still! )

Good to see the nexus-collective creatively thriving in here !



Ætheric Blessings

Intending to add a silhouette foreground and a figure of someone to it very soon.

mmmmm....d-T-r....that's all kinds of Luvly.....

Luminous and gorgeous! And happy too...

I love the way the bright neon-pastel colors smoothly shift into each other with that holographic overlapping kind of thing. Very reminiscent.

Very nice dtr!

I really like the golden flux energy grid lines, if that's what they may be called. Definitely invokes a flavor of divinity to the piece.

Spincycle,
I love how your picture make me think I'm in some kind of cosmic kaleidoscopic blender!

Oh, and cyb,

nudge nudge

That's pretty damn wild, man!

Is that separate drawings you put together in photoshop?

Yeah. A bunch.

Ok, so this outlandish piece is a fairly accurate representation of something I've seen a few times, on both the cactus and mushrooms. Imagine it flowing and stretching around itself. Usually when I see it, I'm very far out there, and in a really awesome place. It's definitely one of my favorite visions.

It was my first encounter with what Terrence McKenna might call a "self dribbling basketball", only it's more like self-pulling taffy, or self-chewing bubblegum!

Cosmic snot! Very cool. The limited color scheme is really effective.

So my visuals almost always tend to have a black background. Do you actually see yours with a white background like this?

d-T-r - Really nice form, but I just can't get past the fact that it looks so washed out and overexposed (as in photography) to me. The details get sort of lost in there. Personally I would adjust the levels to bring up some of the dark end of the colors and tone down the white. I think it will bring out the details a lot if it doesn't look so washed out. If you are using photoshop try moving the middle and left slider in the Levels tool a bit to the right to see what I mean. You can do this on all colors at once on the RGB channel or chose each color one at a time to be more selective. You could also try adjusting the contrast.

If that's the look your deliberately going for though, then ignore me.



Mr P - Another fine effort. Do you really see this in Red White and Blue? Very patriotic.

Guyomech,
Yeah, I remember the first time I saw it last summer. It was my most heroic dose of shrooms yet, and remains. I remember thinking, "Man! It's so freakin bright!" While it was actually night time. I've seen it with darkness behind it, too, but I thought I'd try a change this time and keep it light and goofy.

spinCycle,
Yep, I see a lot of visions in red and blue for some reason. Often, if I try to draw them it looks odd, but it never seems to in the thick of it. This one was meant to be more of a pink and blue, as that's how it appeared to me.

I didn't quite capture one of the strangest elements to the vision. It has a 50's art deco style to it. Kind of like 50's industrial machinery or something. Yet, it's also goopy, and fun. I have no idea. It's such a bizarre thing! I love it! It makes me feel insane, but a fine insanity. The way insanity should be!

Where the Madman sinks, the Mystic swims.

I feel like I may see similar patterns from a particular entity embedded within the godhead on DMT.

Also Guyomech, my visions often are not against a black background. Only during my 2 full-blown white light experiences did I have a stunningly pure white canvas as the background with classic DMT fractals somehow taking form out of the formless sea of white.

Hmm, that's interesting... I wonder if it is possible to really recreate some of these entities in this world. It would be interesting if I could, and then maybe others may have seen the same thing. What might that mean? That last drawing is probably the closest I have come in accuracy, but I have a ways to go, yet.

Global, I was thinking more like shrooms and acid, where a black background is the norm for me. On any kind of respectable DMT dose, i get no background- the environment is totally immersive.

Mr. P, try taking photos of deco stuff into PS and get yourself acquainted with the Liquify filter...

Very nice, Mr. P.

This is way premature, but I just started a new hindu deity sculpt from a dynamesh sphere a few days ago (prior to getting sidetracked with the weavesilk), and I thought I'd throw up a quick turntable view of a project in its infancy. Right now, he's just an undefined lump of vaguely malevolent babyman, but a couple of weeks' sweat and toil ought to transform him into Yama, god of death.

Big props for the phrase "vaguely malevolent babyman".

I believe I'll try glaring into this for my mushy ride on Friday... I want to think of the desert...

Just love the color schemes you've been using. That thing just radiates warmth.

It really conveys a sense of being fractal in nature without keeping the same texture throughout which is cool.
