is this one of those things where you put a bunch of colors down, put some black crap over it and scratch away at it to make pictures? I love those. I haven't done one since middle school.

And this one is really cool. I love the shapes and colors used.

This looks like these "magic pens" I have on my own... You draw with a green pen and then with a white pen, the green changes to yellow...
It looks like a sky with clouds but mostly like a "rainbow-explosion"! =3

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looks like one of those rainbow scratch thingies. Or those markers that change colour when you use the white one.

In any case, PRETTY RAINBOW MADNESS!

I remember being assailed by a magic pen guy on holiday once when I was a kid. He drew on his shirt then coloured it away with the magic pen! I was in awe and persuaded mum to buy a shitload of them. xD

This! is a mystery!

Well, I wouldn't really have guessed the medium, as for the theme, knowing you, synaesthesia was an easy guess

TheSylverLining In reply to ILoveKnives [2008-10-05 18:50:24 +0000 UTC]

OOH, that IS a mystery! Let us solve it! I GOTS A CLOOO!

And yes! Though it's purely coincidental as I can't control the colors it makes, but it looks quite a bit like the opera section to Bohemian Rhapsody. Except that there's too much blue and not enough red/orange.

ILoveKnives In reply to TheSylverLining [2008-10-06 07:31:18 +0000 UTC]

Otacon144 [2008-10-05 06:01:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to say that it's a synesthesia piece based on the sound of a man juggling a New Orleans horn section while velcroed to the back of a Norwegian porpoise who is simultaneously playing the bassoon and reciting The Canterbury Tales in the original Chaucerian English.

... Damn now I wanna hear that and see what it looks like! xDD

Ye were right about the synesthesia, though! Though it's completely coincidental, as I can't control the colors the Magic Pens make - but it looks a lot like the opera bit in Bohemian Rhapsody. :B Except too much blue, not enough red/orange/purple.

Neonescence [2008-10-05 01:25:11 +0000 UTC]

I remember doing something like this in school - where we coloured the whole thing in bright crayon colours and then painted over with black paint...once it was dry we used a sharp-ish instrument to 'draw' into the black and reveal the underlying colours... I have no idea what this was called or if there even was a name for it... we just called it 'damn cool'

I love what you've done!

1. MAGIC MARKERS (ok I cheated on that, I saw someone above say that one)
2. SYNTHESESIA!

This pic is intense. Fo real. Sometimes I really wish I could see what you see.
This actually really reminds me of A Kind Of Magic! Just the colours and the black background. Cool effect sweets.

TheSylverLining In reply to elizabethmuller [2008-10-05 01:14:31 +0000 UTC]

YES AND YES!
Thank ye, dear! Though I can't take all the credit for it being synesthesia-like, as I can't control the colors it makes. But coincidentally, it looks a bit like the opera Bo-Rhap section - except there's too much blue and not enough purple/red.
>D But YES it definitely is like A Kind Of Magic, that was a wonderful video!
