\"SOL<\/a>
SOL (Work 00007)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SOL began as an experiment creating brush stroke-style particle effects in 3D Studio Max. I may eventually describe that and how it's done, but suffice it to say that the creation of this painting was very <\/em>involved with 3D and 2D art tools (3ds Max, Painter, Photoshop). Digital oil, watercolor, and pencil. The brush stroke-style particles I developed for this may go a long way towards generating all kinds of awesome crazy abstract art.<\/p>\n

A crop of this makes for a sort of impressionist-abstract work in itself:<\/p>\n

Electric Sheep 202-11969 and 202-41223 alternate EYE OF THE FROST DRAGON (work 00007B)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a gestural workup based on a fractal flame which I bred myself. Look up fractal flames and the Electric Sheep screen saver–they are extremely cool. Specifically, it's from an alternation-style combination of electric sheep 202.11969 and 202.41223, which I thought happened to look something like a dragon eye, ergo the title. From a large render of a fractal flame blown up and auto-painted in Corel Painter, with further digital oil painting in layers by yours truly.<\/p>\n
