Description
an 'improvisation' using one base layer of acrylics and one layer of painteffects done with ArtRage and combined in Photoshop.It is rare when I do something this minimal, as I am generally wont to be additive to the point of overbearing.
Sometimes I deviate from my own script.

Why do I like this piece? Is it the minimalism, color scheme used, simplicity? I'm not sure, but if I ever figure out how to put it into words, I'll repost.
Brilliant.

I have no clue how I have missed this before, as I have viewed your gallery on numerous occasions!
The minimilsm works very well, and still retains your distinctive style, perfectly.

I still maintain that it does not look like Australia, though now I do so with an air of modest amusement. I live here... I have a fairly good idea of what it looks like.

That's fair enough, in that case. Truthfully, I thought you were taking upon yourself the air of the Injured Artist, or the annoying prick who must be better than thou...I just had to deal with one, who insisted that I was TEH MEAN PERSON. So, yeah, for any 'tude on my end I apologize.

Now, coming from you *that* says something.
While I liked this work when I finished it, I never expected it to appeal to this range. It's just so far from what is typical here....

Adding to the huge amounts of posts. Worthy of a daily dev. Beautiful and minimalist for sure. I love minimalism. I love the colors. At first I get the feeling of parchment burnt to reveal metal underneath but the longer i look the more it changes...

Hey, I am just as surprised as you are.

You do not offend me, so do not worry. I do a lot of different things, but for some reason my abstract stuff seems to garner a very bipolar sort of attention (no middle ground apparently). I do what I do and comments both positive and negative do not really gactor into it. I enjoy getting both because it tells me people actually have a reaction, but ultimately I do this purely for the self.
I really was shocked that this made it to DD (happily shocked, but shocked nonetheless, since thsi jsut seems so far removed from the big-titty anime and 3dS Max experiemnts I usually notice up front)

...then we should all be grateful that you'll never pick the Daily Deviations.
`zeruch , this is marvellous. A wonderful mix of sterility and mess - which, if I was going to look at it laterally, is a nice compliment to the combination of digital and traditional art techniques. Brava.

yes i guess u are right...they would be few and far between. I feel that a daily dev should be a piece of work that surpasses those of the normal artist. When a spot of paint and a slight digital manip are chosen to be a daily dev wehn ive seen better in a number of unknown artists galleries its frustrating. And like isaid this was nothing personal. I liked ur work some of it should be daily devved because u do have talent. But this perticular piece i feel did not deserve it.
