Clever composition. I would experiment and see how this chop would look without the rippled background of the "above world". I would try some plain background (sky, etc) as rippled makes it difficult to perceive the top half of the composition.

Hitspinner

Hahahahahah Yes it is difficult to discern. Tuna fishing is the background source, one of Dali's busiest, and totally noisy creations. He had a lot of rippling in the compositon and my plan was to amp that to an extreme pretty much expressing that if Dali had that rippling tool in photoshop he'd most likely go nuts with it as he was a master of distortion. I thought this one through, tried a bunch of different backgrounds but elected for lot's of brain noise. And it's a departure, it's not a chop you can judge in a quick 2 seconds of inspection, all served up nice and neat where you don't have to work your mind like a lot of stuff I do. Dali demanded that you explore his works and I layered 3 of his paintings in this which makes the task of examination 3 fold. Reducing it didn't help either. It's super clear at 700KB. If you want I can send you the large file... it's pretty wicked.

cool. Newsy is Dill E Dallying, but he doesn't give a ripple about the nipple

Hitspinner

Ha. I was wondering if that might get a "Ding." So I rubbed the smudge tool over that nipple to a point of , well, less defined. Of course she turned around and slapped the bejesus out of me. Thanks for the comments

I see about the background. Must admit I was not familiar with Dali's "Tuna Fishing" before. However I think Dali would not distort things to the point you can't see what they are - it was not his style. On the other hand "Tuna Fishing" is not his usual style either. Great work anyhow. and congratulations on the wood.

Hitspinner

I agree Newsy. It's pretty overblown. Dali was a strange one. He had brief periods of extremes and I have wondered had he lived much longer where he would have gone. From what I read in his final years he felt unfulfilled much like Picaso. Maybe that is the curse of the artist. In the realm of high aesthetics we can visualize the grandest, epic tapastries in our minds but actually getting such monsters of creation on canvas is quite another thing. I am currently writing a book on imagination, actually picking up on a mabuscript I started about 15 years ago. One chapter explores the pitfalls of too much imagination and the practicality of execution. I'll let you know when finished. Thanks for the votes. I reckoned this one might tank as you brought up a valid point.

Congrats on the woody HS. Sounds like an interesting book. If I could extricate even 50% of what goes on in my imagination I'd be one happy chopper. I guess to me interpreting my imagination by finding great source pics, and refining my photoshop technical abilities are things I constantly try to improve upon to try reach that 50% goal.

Congrats HS Interesting complex composition of mega eye candy.

Hitspinner

Thanks guys. Dali is a good store to shop for that eye candy, AZ. The guy really inspired me... still does though art today is becoming so much more sophisticated and I look at his stuff that used to the hello out of me and and sadly it has become somewhat quaint. 50% is good.... Funkwood. I'll take 50% any time. When I was about 22 or 23 years old, I sat down and wrote every idea I had for paintings in a little green ledger book. They numbered about 205. Over the years that grew to around 800. To date my fine art paintings considered publishable number a little less than 200. That figure does not include commercial illustrations. So many ideas so little time... Yet, computers and photoshop help tremendously. At my rate of productivity as an illustrator in wet media I would have been lucky to produce 15 to 20,000 - illustrations in the course of my carreer. Today on puters we can produce 5x that and rapidly fix mistakes that in the old days would have been catostrophic. Young artists, born into this media have such a remarkable advantage to achieve levels of creativity my father's and my generation of illustrators would have never believed.
