Sometimes it's very obvious that color attracts me, but other times it can be pure skill. Some of the drawings and paintings in the collection are there because I am totally impressed with a skill I don't have. The 3D work shown here is in the collection because I work with 3D modelling software and I know how much work went into that piece and how well-executed it is.
Other works appear because they reference other artists I am familiar with. The wonderfully life-like pencil drawings that are in the collection are there because I wish I could draw like that. I would think I had a real talent if I could, like playing the piano, or a cello, well, and with soul. The Swimmer Bombe is there because it reminds me vey much of a Pink Floyd album and the work of Storm Thorgerson (ironic as he died soon after this journal was published). The image I had in my collection and this feature originally turned out to be stolen from another dA member, so it was replaced by the original.
This time, apart from a token 3D work, and a couple of token photomanipulations, I have stuck with photographs for this small feature. I'm not sure why, maybe it is where my primary interest is right now. It just felt right tonight, like things do sometimes.
I need to pinch myself sometimes, we forget how lucky we are to have so much fine art presented on a daily basis from so many talented people. Thanks deviants
So here is a fairly random selection of twelve works that you could hopefully join with me in being amazed and pleased by...
