new stuff
 

so i've had a few of these threads before.
people have started paying me for stuff so i started trying to do stuff strictly design and un-arty. i futzed around a bit and fell onto something i thought i could run with for while. i took some light pictures, scanned my sketches and here we are:

Lovely as always :<

I will most likely license a few from you :tear

can i get a 1024 x 768 version of the green one? i would love to use that as a background :<

absolutely fine by me, but why the tears? do you miss renee? ;)

MLE, i'll send it by email, i'm not hosting the originals just yet.

you're awesome ;>

haha, i honestly don't hate renee or care if she hates me.

and any of your new art you can mail to me would be great :o

SAURON :eek

Rez, even though I don't know you, I would like a 1280x1024 of the first for a wallpaper. If you dont wanna, thanks anyway, but if you do, I am a very very thankful guy.

Me 2 also would like a background of the fourth one...but im sure u have a life so if u dont thats :aok

I think it blow's darts :/

i think you have no idea what art is.

You obviously havn't been paying attention then.

I don't like it because it looks like a bunch of photoshop filters and other effects thrown together to achieve an effect that isn't too interesting to me anyway. :(

I agree with Spectre X. I've seen similar stuff :/

you've seen similar stuff that is subpar.

you've seen similar stuff that was done in 5 minutes, that took no thought and looks the same to you because you don't have the tools to see the difference between chaotic order and just plain chaotic.

rez takes time with his images and if you had the eye for it, you'd be able to tell. those aren't all filters. those are layers upon layers of manipulated photos that are worked together to form a continuity that not only spans across a single image but encapsulates his work as an entire body.

you don't have to like it, but to say it's shoddily done just proves that you have no idea what you are looking at.

I never said that it was shoddily done. I said that it looked like a bunch of filters and other effects thrown together. They can be thrown together very well.

And I didn't know that it's a bunch of photos, I'm sorry for being a dumb blind fuck. :(

I was wondering how exactly he does these. I think they're completely gorgeous, especially that second one.

i cant say that not a single filter was used, but since i rarely go in the filters section anyway, i can definately say whatever you're thinking is wrong.

these are sketches i made. laid on top of photos and altering color. if you want to pin me for laziness, go after the mirror option that i used, but you wont find much for filters here.

guys, it's all design work. i dont even call this art because art goes past looking pretty and makes statements or represents life and science and ideas. this is just me going over my obsession of light, color, and fluidity. when i start threads like these i only call it art if i really think it is, usually you'll see "new shit" or "new stuff."

it jumps to 17 responses and all it turns out to be is fartin being a bitch.

thanks glow :)

Can you make one that doesn't look like you folded a piece of paper?. I think that is what is distracting to me. I know I'm a prick.

that was the thing though. i got tired of making a bunch of abstracted images according to what i thought loked good and decided what i could do if i made things a lot more symmetrical than i was used to. just something new for me.

That black and white one makes me cream each time I see it. And the second one is awesome after you look more into it--I thought it was a simple photograph at first. Lovely awesome stuff.

the black and white one isnt very large at all, just something i did as part of a contest to raise money for charity. there isnt much to it, but it donated ten bucks :)
the second one, i made an 11x14 print of it, framed it, and gave it to my girlfriend.

the last one is last night's work, i'm pretty proud of it.

These are great. It's a shame 'cause UK doom band Esoteric had some pictures up 4 years ago with the exact overdeveloped-then-mirrored swirly patterns, but they don't anymore and I wanted to show you.

I like the orange cube one. It reminds me of a huge workstation or something.
