My Attempts At Visual Art., Yes..I'm here too=p

I figured it might have something to do with Earth-Air-Fire-Water, but I was looking too far I guess. Looking for something I'd recognise. Something in each side of it.

LOL! That is exactly how I felt too, Urian!

ok..so..the first sphere wasnt big enough so..I fiddled with another one and did a simple animation

nm
technical problems
eh

Reposting this one.
warnign before you look. its metaphorical and a lot of people interpret it differently so...

Thanks,Aaediwen

it won't load.

well..hmm

looks like, even though I got the OK from a MOD, another mod has , apparently pulled it.
nice...

Very dark. Not that that's bad...above all I think you do very well with Photoshop. Never had a chance to work with it at all. I love drawing, painting, sculpting, and so forth but have not really tried my hand at much digital artwork.

To me, this picture is indicative of a lot of painful feelings welled up inside. I think sometimes, without knowing, we all can identify with painful feelings.

Also like to add that I was browsing an earlier post in this thread, the animated one with the eye and the dragon. I must say, that would be a killer image on say a website's banner or something! You're really talented with the Photoshop, once more. I say, I'd love to download it or purchase it, and then learn some stuff about it! Amazing!

thanks for everythign, Haldur.

People tend to look at it and see something akin to a suicide when that is so far from the truth. They point out the razor and the blood drops but fail to see that the razor has no blood on it. its a memento (as is the compact on the book)

and, yes, it is a visual expression of some very hard and sad times.


the animated gif. Thanks on that. I havent been able to do much with my photohsop but I will try to start again soon. I had just started trying to figure out the animated pics..I did a few avatars for some friends and that was that after my PC died on me. but I think I've fixed that problem for now.

anyway. thanks again

no prob urian. isn't that the truth though? we tend to assume so much without actually looking deeper into things. i've been guilty of it plenty of times. i love the symbolism with the blood drops, the pocket watch, and the journal. symbols of mortality, time, and hidden feelings. at least that's what i see.

yes, it is. and I have been guilty of the same thing. thats why I am so proud of this piece(one reason, anyway).
because you HAVE to look deeper to see exactly what is being said.

yes..those are some of the symbols.


completelt off topic..do you knwo any place I could go to post my music?

Are you referring to on here or on other sites? If on here, i think you may have to ask one of the mods. I'm sure that if you had say a link to a .wav or .mp3 or something we could check it out in chat...again, may need to ask one of the mods.

As far as other sites go, there are some places where you can post limited amounts of songs (i.e. 01:30 of a 5 min. file) and that's all usually left up to the artist. There is a site called www.garageband.com that does this and I'm sure there are others. When I was working with a band (which I'm still working with part-time-like) we were looking into posting on Garage Band...most bands or solo artists take that route to get some net recognition.

I've been recording stuff for as far back as I can remember, pc-wise for about 3-4 years and I still have a lot to learn. Copyrighting laws are pretty much the same as anything else but I know that the best bet would be to set up a link to the file or post it on some sort of site like I mentioned in little servings.

I'd definitely love to hear some music from ya! What do you play?

I used to play drums. Taight myself to play guitar in memory of my brother, sean, but that went the way fo the do do.
I mix, mostly.

I'll email you a few of them when I get the hard drive recovered

Sounds excellent! I've played drums as well, not as a main instrument, but they're great to jam on! I play acoustic/electric guitars mostly...looking into getting a bass guitar one of these days and dabble with that also.

My basic music/recording studio wishlist:

1) Alesis mixer, $149
2) MXL condenser mic, $100
3) Microphone stand, $20-$25
4) Cable, probably under $20

That's my recording studio at its most basic...haven't gotten it yet but am starting to save up for as we speak. It's not very hi-tech but it will serve its purpose. I have a few projects in the works: one with Aaediwen, another with my wife's music, yet another with the guitar player from my former band Broken Theory, and one or two of my own projects (which include acoustic rock, folk, trance, industrial, hip-hop, etc.)

As you can see I've got the next three to four years of my life booked for this dream, which is coming true every step of the way! Perhaps we could share some ideas?!
