..........................................................................
What the hell is this- this sudden burst of poignant joy, of profound-[...]
Its there, locked in those/these moments of pureness and clarity and ambiguity and Anything Is Possible-

Potential, so much damn potential
From fins to feet in forty-five seconds.
Gleekill’s endless bulk is writhing in my brain, eyes growing eyes and mouths filling rooms [...]

That’s it.
Gawd, I wish I could articulate.
That the joy comes around simply because I’ve stimulated the right neurons in my cortex cannot lessen what I feel.
Religious experience comes around the same way, and the fact that a staunch atheist that eschews Fate and Destiny can enjoy such spirituality-except-I-know-better sends me into hysterics. Chemicals!
So fucking funny, I can’t stop it.
It’s too absurd. Too fucking absurd.
There’s been too much lately, I’ve finally snapped. I’ve let things dawn on me, hit me, fill my heart with something like a sick happiness-
Cause it’s not pure, it’s not bright, it’s not a shining diamond, Sartre.
It’s thick, it’s putrid, I could still easily die and not matter. The worries still lurk in the corner, and they fuel the fire that causes this burning because they create the hysterics and ironies that make my soul laugh so much, as it is, full of a Unity of Jokers not seen before.

BwhahahaAHAHAHA![...]I can’t see the difference right now, it’s all a mass of living and dying There’s a balance here that’s Me. Me that’s more realized than ever before, pointlessly but real. Gripping something by the teeth, biting down and holding on like never before, for a flaming instant of everything coming together rightly.

Fuck knows I need this.


burst.

That's me with some sugar and a new video from the web shows I watch.

You really ought to try and make the colors more harmonious. I use this as an example - like how the green on the reptiles skin could have red back-lighting from the cloak it's wearing
(observe: [link] and it's a very very quick version of it - just to give you the idea)
Otherwise, it looks like nothing belongs and everything clashes. Unless...that was your intention?

I love the shading on the belly of the huge lizard, though. With the eyes and all. Sweet mercy.

Yeah, I try, but it's easy to screw up things like that XD. My rudimentary understanding of color theory doesn't work, I guess. (Although I don't know why he'd have red backlighting when there's no light from back there bright enough to cause such an effect....>_>

If there's light showing through the cloak at all - it'll cast a red shadow.

Are they inside an eyeball too?

Too trippy!

I would say "I know the feeling" too, but we can't ever know that for sure. I can say what you wrote evokes a strong sense of the same feeling I get when I almost grasp a four dimensional object in my minds eye and when I ponder the nature of conciousness. It's so funny how 'we' are only firing neurons encased within brain shaped meatballs. Somehow, even when we know the noise in there is meaningless, it still means everything.

CBSorgeArtworks In reply to werecarrot [2006-05-09 04:03:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, yeah, something like that maybe. Comparisons, like everything, are meaningless in the scheme of things. One of the things I came across was that where happiness comes from doesn't really matter as long as it's there. Somethingsomething. bwaah.

werecarrot In reply to CBSorgeArtworks [2006-05-09 04:32:51 +0000 UTC]

Meaningless perhaps ... but then, if everything is potentially meaningless, then 'meaningless' itself is meaningless since nothing has meanign to begin with. o_o Is that right? Oh i don't know I never understood logic. I just am pretty good at pretending I do. Basically I don't bother too much with the whys and hows of things existing anymore. Things exist. I exist. You exist. Lets have a party. 8D

I would hope, but the feeling, *the* feeling, is a rarity to elicit such a reaction towards it.
Or something.
abnormal.

Upon reading your description, I laugh and wonder what happened to invoke this sudden rotation of a point of view.

What a bubbly sheen on the dominating figure's musculature. I'm enjoying that, the multitude of eyes and the loads of cryptic symbolism very much.

CBSorgeArtworks In reply to GunnerRomantic [2006-05-08 02:37:54 +0000 UTC]

The invocation of such Englightened Experiences are usually totally stupid and shallow. All the more's the hilarity!

If you want some symbolism, try pupilupil. Eheheheh.

Shazzbaa [2006-05-07 17:53:59 +0000 UTC]

I like the psychotic smile of the reptile -- his eye, especially, adds to the look -- but my favourite part is the trippiness of his body changing into nothing but eyes. Very striking.

CBSorgeArtworks In reply to Shazzbaa [2006-05-08 02:36:16 +0000 UTC]

I hope the irony is noted- that the main figure doesn't have true eyes, yet spawns countless. I make dumb jokes like that to amuse myself, or something, woo XD

Oh, very interesting! No, I didn't put that together... I like it when stuff like that is put into a picture, though I often don't find it on my own. :3 I tend to "feel" the picture long before I grasp a tangible meaning.
Nice.

I try- though the writings posted are my unrefined and most bare of writings. I was nervous to post it- but I figured the initial reaction was more informative than any witty wordplay I'd have a week later. hrrrr.
