Guess it's still "alive"...

...'cause asked to do a funky colored phase model conversion today. Lovin' the dream I'm in! Wasn't sleepy at bedtime (wonder why :`) so did this quick wet-one. Thought it came out kinda nice...you?

awesome looks really beautiful.... how was it achieved?
poster edges/brushstrokes?

Archi, no...I must admit to a bit more methodical randomness than actually painting the interest (my brush strokes with a real live brush were bad enough, just guess how my painting with a plastic rock looks :`)

I've been playing, especially on these material-less exports, with breaking up the broad fields of color with overlay layers before applying the DWC filters. On this one I used fairly transparent mirrored versions of the x-ray and shadow-only layers...the resulting disruption retains a comfortable zen IMO. I've also used the background sky image in the same manner on other sketches, stretched over the entire canvas, with enough success to pursue it futher.

Thanks.
