Thank's Guyo! Gonna try and implement the techniques Cyb shared with you. I value your's and Cyb's opinions, knowledge etc. I keep meaning to e-mail you some stuff for the members gallery. Thank you for the invite and your words of encouragement. I'm consistently blown away at the Nexus's cornucopia of talent. So many unique visiions. Keep up the good fight all!

Something akin to a library containing uncountable reference volumes, but without any obvious route of entry. And, without some means of access, there is no way to even begin to guess at the extent and quality of what is there. The psychedelic drugs allow exploration of this interior world, and insights into its nature. - Shulgin

Spin, your stuff just gets more and more awesome. I like how the top one looks like it's happening in a big box of melted marbles.
Please PM me if you want to get all your new stuff into your member gallery...

Great work RayTracer! Those images remind me of how psychedelics can generate stories in my mind as if I'm watching an exaggerated theatrical play.
SpinCycle, holy smokes man. Those images are great! Love the energetic textures and vivid colors! Staring into your work is like getting thrown into a kaleidoscopic maze! Keep it up brother.

Here is a sketch coloured with black marker and cryons, that I would like some feedback on. What do you think of it? How can I make it more vivid, make the edges sharper, improve geometry (besides using a compass for the center figure), what kind of colouring can I use for improvement? What would you do with it or how would you do it better next time? Nicita attached the following image(s): CCI07012014_0000.jpg (2,032kb) downloaded 278 time(s).

That's very pretty, Nicita. But since you asked for opinions, I suggest Prismacolor colored pencils and Speedball Super Black India ink, available at any decent art store, probably even Walmart. It'll really make it pop. **dang it, upside photo, but you get the idea 112233 attached the following image(s): image.jpg (1,509kb) downloaded 272 time(s).Fear, belief, love phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. We cross and recross our old paths like figure skaters; our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

Spin, holy poop dude, you are crazy. Haven't been drawing much lately (due to school and music I have been making; will post as soon as it is done  ) but here is my most recent creation. anon_003 attached the following image(s): americaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.png (5,000kb) downloaded 252 time(s).Once in a while, you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

anon_003, that's fun stuff... Cosmic ectoplamatic sploosh.
Nicita, not bad... I second 112233's recommendation about Prismas. An alternate approach: sketch design lightly, add color, then use a black Prismacolor pencil to create all black lines. I personally prefer lining after color, I find that I do it more selectively that way. But ink won't work after the pencils, hence using a black pencil instead.
Also consider playing around with black paper and priamacolors, that can be a lot of fun and more closely represents CEVs.

Nicita - beautiful design! If you are looking for criticism, I'd have to say too much white space. It's distracting and detracts from the composition, unbalancing it and making it appear incomplete. And as noted by others, more pronounced and precise black outline would really lift it off the page! Keep em comin'!! JBArk JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

Also, please PM me if you are interested in having a spot in the member gallery.

Quote:WOW steppa those are incredible! What is your process? Quote:Steppa, that stuff is crazy! I too am curious about your workflow. Whoah! Thank you guys! *hihi*  The process is pretty simple. First generating the fractal in Xenodream --> exporting it --> taking it over to Cinema 4D --> Adjust lightning, shaders/textures --> Rendering it --> A little postprocessing in Photoshop --> Posting it on the Nexus. Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

Nice Binary Drool  I recognize all the symbols except for the bottom left one that looks like a nautical wheel. Where is that from? "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein

Global, surprisingly enough that is Buddhism. Often people assume the Ohm symbol is Buddhist, though it is Hindu. We actually worship incomprehensibility as the highest form of explanation. ~TM

Ah. With 8 spokes, is it supposed to be a visual representation of the 8-fold path to enlightenment? "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
