1. crickets?

OK. Here's another one

[atomic-fly]

32. nice drawings

this one is very early Van Gogh like.
the pen and ink is very well balanced and has great use of line

[tainted_chimp]

38. Beautiful, Lunatica!

Both pieces.

I wanna hang out with those two be-hatted guys.

Who are they anyway? I can practically hear them cackling at the world.

[lunatica]

2. Aren't there any artists here today? n/t

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

3. I've been known to post my fractal art from time to time

but it doesn't draw many comments as a rule.

Your work is exquisite.

[lunatica]

5. I would love to see it n/t

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. A few I recently posted here

Just for you.

[graywarrior]

11. Are those done in Illustrator?

They are beautiful!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

15. Photoshop

Merci beaucoup.

[lunatica]

18. When Photoshop first came out I wondered where it would lead

I think you've done a great job of showing one direction.

[lunatica]

17. These are wonderful

I'm delighted to see them! They're quite unique.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

4. Yes,

here's one from me;

[lunatica]

6. Wow! I love it! And I like the pastel landscape too.

That's really cool. Great colors and a wonderful subject matter.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

13. Thanks

The landscape was too big so I replaced it with this, a watercolor altered by Photoshop.
We probably should be doing this in the Artists forum.........
I like your drawings by the way.........good detail and values. :toast:

[lunatica]

23. You might be right, but that would be like preaching to the choir

I love it when people post their art in the lounge. Everyone should be exposed to art all the time. Creativity and talent in the arts are uniquely human. That old divine spark thing.

[Deep13]

34. Sure, nothing digital, though. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear lunatica!

Wow, that is a terrific drawing!

You show much talent, sweetie...

And how very lucky you are to have such a stream near your home...

I would just die to have such a feature near me!

*sigh*

:hug:

19. It's in Leona park which is my back yard and the view from my window in Oakland

Our condominiums are at the entrance to the park which is in a little valley just on the other side of the first foothills in Oakland. Then the hills go up again to Skyline.

9. you asked for it.

clay

http://web.me.com/mo_clay/http:__mo-clay.com/mo_clay_files/bound%20together.jpg

cast paper w/clay fragments



painting on paper



more at the link in the sig.

[amyrose2712]

14. NIce! Esp. that clay. I dig that. nt

[lunatica]

21. It's bold and out there and very good

I enjoy working in clay too, but mostly I draw and paint with acrylics. But I like drawings better. I think they're underrated and should be considered as important as paint or sculpture.

[mopinko]

24. i agree with you.

i love to draw, also. my paintings are more drawings (water color crayons) than paintings, but i gave up calling them drawings. i guess color=painting to a lot of people.

[velvet]

41. I've seen and commented on your clay works before

But the painting is new to me and I really like it, it's an enigmatic but attractive little beastie.

[graywarrior]

10. Nice! Pen & Ink is my favorite medium

Here is my stuff

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

16. Wow!

Who knew? :)

[lunatica]

20. Yes, I've seen your work before

I think it's amazing what you do with hair and headdresses and how the detail is in everything but the face, yet it all looks complete. That's what I tried to do in the stream drawing. I put all the detail in the water and did a minimum of detail on the land and plants. I was very happy that it worked.

[graywarrior]

22. First thing I noticed was your flowing locks of water

[Deep13]

35. Very nice. Many of them seem to have your hair.

:hi:

[Demoiselle]

39. Your work reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley. Great line..lovely detail. I like!

[YankeyMCC]

12. Those are wonderful

thanks for showing them.

[Tom_Foolery]

25. My stuff is very commercial...

This one is called "Elizabeth's Basket"...Colored pencil on watercolor paper.





"Wild Thing"...Colored pencil on watercolor paper.





"Cally's Curiosity"...Colored pencil on watercolor.

[lunatica]

28. Commercial or not you have a distinctive style

Very clean, flat 2 dimensional with an emphasis on the relationship of shapes and space. You treat the edges of the paper in an interesting way. It reminds me of Matisse.

[velvet]

26. okay

Good Vibrations




Pondlife


The first has gone into a group show that opened this weekend, fingers crossed it sells. Both are fractals made in Apophysis, but "Good Vibrations" was subjected to some Photoshop layering alchemy.

I love your drawings lunatica.

[lunatica]

27. What wonderful work

I'm delighted to see more people exploring the medium of Photoshop in a way that would be impossible to render otherwise. And in the newly understood form of fractals. I'm so glad you posted. And good luck with your submission to the show.

[velvet]

40. thanks lunatica

I appreciate your appreciation and good wishes. :)

I have to point out Photoshop doesn't have a lot to do with it, apart from a little post-processing. It's mostly just me and Apophysis. I love this program, rich in tools and with a steep learning curve, especially for the math-impaired, e.g. me. But it's absolutely free and in a constant, fertile state of beta. Aside from the occasional bug it gets better, smarter, more versatile with each release. On a bad day it's maddening, yielding one dead-end after another. On a good day it's a motherlode of possibilities.

29. Lunatica

Very sensitive and beautiful penwork

Here are two works





I'm working on a pen and ink right now should post it in a week or so!

[Deep13]

36. I guess having a good subject must really help.

:hi:

[tainted_chimp]
