Description
Illustrator CS and retouched and recoloured in Photoshop CS.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Inspired for the most part by listening heavily to 'delicate sound of thunder', the live album by Pink Floyd, and obviously titled after the song of the same name.
I was messing around in Illustrator when I came up with this neat little bird-like shape. I then just applied it as a scatter brush and sprayed onto the page and got this cool kind of sweeping, diving flock of bird-shapes. I just developed from there.
It was enjoyable to just be doing a no stress piece for a change. Mainly as a break-out from my cacky day job.

Although I'm echoing two posts before me, I'd also enjoy a wallpaper version (hopefully not just a crop and resize of this though...). Anyway, very nice work.

Very cool, I love the flow across and around the image. I'm very much looking forward to a WP version!
In terms of interpretation, I think those shapes of yours look more like falling leaves than birds. Either one works.

Ah yes, Pink Floyd. Gotta love them. This is a wonderful deviation. Love the colors, and the implied image of the bird. There is power in repitition, and that is what makes this piece so grand, imho.

Awesome... simple, yet for some reason I really like it. The shades of pink really work for this. Great work. Any plans for a wallpaper version?

Graceful, and I like the nod to classical Japanese woodblock prints.

This is really beautiful. It's so serene and delicate. I was so inspired after seeing this that I tried to emulate something similar to it in Illustrator but failed miserably, hehe.
Fav for sure

I usually hate pink, but this is so good that it doesn't matter what color it is...
but it'd rock in a blue color!

Happily cartoony yet elegantly defined with light hearted colours that demand to be taken seriously. It almost seems to flow from female to male from up to down.
I don't know if that contradicts as much as I think it does but thats what it all means to me.
