Description more dreamlike now.

when i was a child, i used to sneak out onto the roof, and stare at the stars through the city light haze, reach my arms out to the heavens and try to grasp them. always thinking to myself, someday i'll go there, and leave my footprint among those stars. several years later, there would be the smell of stale cigarettes in my clothes when i would come down from the roof, and sometimes the smell of the salty ocean air once i had a car and could drive myself to the beach at night. now here i am, still on earth, those stars seeming even more out of reach these days.

most things in my life, have been unreachable. and perhaps i'm stronger for it, which is why i consider its unicorn, my closest friend.
but... i still... need... something solid, that i CAN grasp. which is why, i now say farewell... to my closest friend.

this is incredible;
I am in awe of the way it moves through ranges of textures.
I'm not sure if I can say anything worthwhile
but it makes me think of something Neal Cassidy said:
"Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin
is the guarantee of its value; there is no other."

i can see spirals through this whole picture. hmm, like the threadds on screws (lf you know what i mean) they arent actually there, just suggested forms, deliberate or not i dont know.
i like the way you have balanced the picture with light and dark, the light being strong and raybeamish but the dark still being powerful enough to pull the eye towards it.

I think I like your notes more than the image itself... Most good art starts with a concept. This is good art.

It's nice, like something you'd see in a Final Fantasy FMV. It's so textured and blurred you see different things every time, it's kinda like when I look at my wallks and see the indentations, I see monsters and crazy shit like that. This is great, but the border is kinda bad, but it seems so appropriate.

it is unfortunate that human suffering often leads to great art. many great works have been created out of the misery of others, or the artist themselve's. but to use these emotions to create a piece of art is a brave step indeed. a truly great piece is able to convey the emotions that bore it, and I get these distinct feelings from this. excellent work.

Oh wow! I finally get it! A while ago I thought this person just randomly appeared on my artist watch, amv, but now that I look closer I realize ryu's name is missing, and this is so a ryu peice, so I guess I'm just slow

Anyways, excellent work as always! I love this whole set of images you got in these styles, archangel 2 (I think) is so still my wallpaper, and nothing has even come close to removing it yet.

well that is just funky... I don't even know what to say. It's kinda hard to give advice or criticism on pieces that are this abstract... so I'll just reitirate my previous words... funky (although I'm sure 'funky' is not at all what you were trying to achieve here)

this is the best thing i've seen yet. The colors submitting a chaos and yet structure. while the form provide solitude in a way i can't describe.

I wish I had a bigger monitor so I could see it all without having to zoom out. This is fantastic. All the details and shadows that looks like one thing and then thanks to the texturing/lightning turns into another thing. Stunning.
