Thread: surreal realms

That's so cool! I'm doing a project where I try to draw the faces of my DC's and this is giving me inspiration to keep on trying!

Awesome! thanks, and by the way do you know what's the biggest size to upload images? this looks more like a thumbnail...
I tried up to 1 megabyte, but failed to upload.

Sorry, I don't know. But when I click on the picture it almost fills my whole screen. I see it very detailed.

Hey moonage, thanks.! I call it experimental scratchboard.

The process starts by applying claybordinks on a white claybord, which
has a this layer of caolín or white clay. Then after the inks dry, I use sharp objects, like exacto blades, niddles; to etch and create highly detailed images.

Wow.. that's your work? Wow. You're amazing. I love the colors!

These remind me of Giger's work in some sense, but also of other artists whose names don't come directly to mind right now.

I really enjoy this type of surreal artwork; it's a shame that whenever I try to do anything like it, nothing very interesting ever comes out, it always conforms too much to the rest of my general style.

Great work on all of these.

Thanks moon! I like to think or always say: "I'm just an instrument", "my works"...Nothing really belongs to us in this plane, not even our dreams.

I think I know the artist, designs from the movie "Alien". Really inspiring...Like I say at the beginning These are dream realms or dimensions that really exist within the depths of our subconscious mind, even past lives. It's a healing path; a lot more beasts and beings would emerge from "my" works in order to transcend.

You know that's so true. I think it's the same with music. You don't make or create a song. You uncover a song; you are just finding the path that's already there. YKWIM?!
