Description

WARNING: long ass comment here... O_O

This is the 4 installment of my Birth of Space series. Hooray! ^_^ I'm pretty exhausted, both physically and emotionally. You see, my mom passed away last Spring. Halloween was her favorite holiday. So I've been thinking about her lately. Plus, I've been improving in my artwork. I wonder what she would've thought about my work. Alas, she's gone.I can only try not to remember her last days here in this world since they were pretty horrific and heartwrenching.

Anyway, this image is the male perspective of the series. Whereas woman is the bearer of life, man holds the seed of life. They are compliments of each other. This image is a metaphorical representation of ejaculation taking place. The sperm (yes, that's what they are, lol. I gave them a different design though) spill out into the universe, thus creating life.

You can find this series spiritual in terms of humans being directly linked to a God or the universe through the power of creation. The abstract architecture, for example, represents this 'higher being' or the embodiment of the universe (this depends on your view of the world; whether you believe there is a higher order or soemthing else). Seth, on the other hand, is sheltered by this structure and is a direct witness to life, as are all humans when they take the initiative and procreate. In this, humans aren't the passive creatures many would like to believe. We aren't creatures whose lives are solely dependent on God/universe (in other words, our destines aren't determined by God). Rather, the relationship between God/universe is split. God may set the stage but humans are the ones who set the dialogue and actions. We are credited for our own successes and failures in life while God/the universe is credited for how much stage time we have.

In many ways, this series has helped me cope with my loss. This series is all about humans, as well as all lifeforms, being linked to the universe or God. I'd like to think my mom still has a special place in it, even if it's only in the hearts of me and everyone else who was touched by her. There's a lotta details in this series, and it requires a lot of patience from me, especially since I use the mouse, but it's helpful. It forces me into a meditative state. Hopefully, you guys enjoy these images and find a meaning that suits your needs. The thing I love about sci-fi is that it's a spiritual place. You don't need to believe in God to be spiritial. I believe everyone has their own interpretation of life and the particular forces that are beyond our control.

Spectacular piece! Love the shapes and composition. The patterns are quasi-fractal or middle eastern in their design and I love that stuff. Just outstanding all-around sez me as i head over to look at the rest of the series you alluded to, above. Ditto you God/universe/man philosophy, btw.

RadiusZero In reply to g3m1n1 [2008-12-13 07:48:31 +0000 UTC]

I scanned my drawing. After that, it's all photoshop painting. Since I'm a fan of impressionist work and only use the mouse, I use the pen tool to color. I don't like using the blend tool much. I prefer the eyes to visually blur the colors together. hence, why I take on a color-against-color technique. From afar it looks like it's blended, but up close you can see colors standing against other colors. Did this answer your question?
