Thank you!!!... Things are getting interesting... Your Gallery has given the incentive to try to do a face image again... I think that I will use the Question "When is a smile not a smile?"... for the beginning... Β and see where that thread leads... Β should be fun...

... I think your images "Sensual". and "Julia" ... were what caught my eye first...Β but they have top hatsΒ and "Clicked" with some of the... Smiling, Clown, Predator, Lady images I have in my gallery... sort of a combination of Ballerina, Clown, Black Widow Spider... These images began as attempts to do something else entirely ... which looking at your images reminded me... I have yet to do... I do not know if this explanation of some of my thoughts is much clarification... but my mind is made of many parts and they don't always communicate even with each other... I do know that your images have taken residence among them and are pointing out overlooked pathways into the Unexplored Country... Thank you so much for that... it is a wonderful gift...

Well I have began again to do the "Smile that is not a smile" image... and again it is taking off in unanticipated directions...I will follow it to see where it leads...and... try again... many times no doubt...

i like your style to be so complicated!

One of the things I have been working toward I call Visual Density... to pack as much activity into the image as I can...The hope being to eventually do an image that takes so long to see everything going on, that by the time the viewer has seen it all, they will have forgotten what they saw first... Trapping them in an infinite loop... the second thing is to insert a subliminal message for them to send me Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies...Β after that...

Nice movements. Make them a little more fluid next time though ^_^

Thank you!!!...I would try to defend the stiffness of the figures with..." it is a comment on Ritual"... but ... it wasn't when I did it that way...I just don't have that much energy anymore and I got tired...still you are right... thank you again...

Anytime. I dont mind the stiffness. However I can also imagine this the way it is with more fluidity and that would be an amazing image. Just a thought for the future, friend ^_^

... Sigh... now you have me hooked... a fluid figure cannot be hard... people make them... and people don't "Do" hard... The difficult thing is to figure out all the wrong ways Not to do them...once those are eliminated...doing a fluid image "Right" will be easy!... The Journey IS the Thing!!!...
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed you are right. I hope you succeed in the future of fluidity

When the Journey is the Thing failure is impossible...but I need a Nap before I begin...

Everyone tries to gain total control but, with the limitless possibilities, it is impossible to shape the world to be the perfect place. Great picture! It may be my internet but, it kind of lags at one point. Still awesome! ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
...just to complicate things... every viewpoint has its own perfection...
π: 0 β©: 1
But, as you say, nobody can reach real perfection, only less wrong. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Perfection is the Goal... Not the Destination... The Search... the Journey IS the Thing...
π: 0 β©: 1
I see, so you can STRIVE to be perfect but, the actual level you could get to is the furthest you can go on the journey to be perfect... awesome ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
...yes... the less Wrong we become ...the more we alter our perception of Perfection...
π: 0 β©: 1
Kinda like time if you think about it, alter one thing, and you get an entirely new alignment of endless possibilities.

Stasis is only achieved with the End//Beginning...when ALL becomes POTENTIAL...
π: 0 β©: 1
I see, so are you saying that Stasis is like the building block of different roads to take and once you finish them, you regain Stasis and it all starts again?
π: 0 β©: 1
Stasis is the end of all that exists...it is no thing...but has the potential of becoming all that might be...time is not linear...all of everything is just differing expressions of a single infinitely small point...
π: 0 β©: 1
Huh. Never thought of that... time is a single thing in the middle of infinite possibilities branching out continuously!
π: 0 β©: 1
... in some sets... time need not be a part of every infinity...it is in the one we perceive...but in the infinite variety of the infinite number of infinite infinities... it is not... in an infinite number of them...
π: 0 β©: 1
So time is only a section of the infinite that we perceive as time and space!
π: 0 β©: 1
time is how we perceive one of the expressions of the infinite point... a constantly changing potential...where the beginning and ending of eternity intersect...

Thank you!!!...if you look just beyond the edges of this image you can feel the pull of infinite possibilities...

The universe is full of sneaky tricks...
π: 0 β©: 0
That's very amazing, but I dont get it though..
π: 0 β©: 2
...hmm... Ritual is one of mankind's subconscious modes of attempting to magic the universe... following the principal of once connected always connected... we attempt to lock reality into a state that we are comfortable with... it doesn't really work...but... it feels good...

It looks like they're high xD sorry i just can't be serious...
π: 0 β©: 2
Ritual tends to disconnect folks from the reality that currently surrounds them...

You made me laugh and felt upset for the artist for laughing XD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD but it's still amazing art! :3

The original had many many more frames... I deleted some to get the GIF down to 18 frames...hmm... there is something I might try...Thank you!!!!... this should be interesting...

I meant to say stiff due to the movement of the two but accidentally wrote choppy instead ;;w;
π: 0 β©: 1
... sigh... so true... I should try to incorporate more of the spirit of smoke into my figures... I can still remember fluid motion...well almost... well enough to fake it anyway...hmm...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well you can start with the body?
π: 0 β©: 1
I mostly work in layers...as with "060515Ritual"... I didΒ the five frames that make up the background...then did the Larger figure doing minor modifications of that for successive frames to show movement..."The more frames and the smaller movement the smoother the motion...but... the more frames the quicker my poor OLD computer crashes"...sigh...also the more work..( and I am officially a lazy old fart.)...I originally did over twice the (18) frames for the large figure but erased the extra...then I basically copied those flipped them and shrank them down to be the smaller figure...the fireΒ was much the same... the stiffness of the bodies ...now that my monkey brain has had a chance to chew on it a bit... I believe has much to do with the total non movement of their legs... a little arm bending wouldn't have hurt any either... but again ... most rituals are by their very nature stiff and unnatural... an attempt to simplify reality in order to control it... ... probably... the best thing to do would be a new figure ...Dervish dance style... 18 frames would be an interesting venture?....oh yes...
π: 0 β©: 1
What you could do for the bigger figure is make her go back a bit then make her bend slightly to give a bit more motion, as for the smaller one you could make him lean backward and sort of lunge his hands slowly to uh you know..
π: 0 β©: 1
...Yes...perhaps I should do this image over in its original conceptual configuration...a lot more complicated... sigh... "Sometimes being a lazy old fart makes me tired"...but...the journey IS the thing...
