Cityscape

There are some cute Google billboards around the city, the illustrations are so pretty :)

I shall not keep you long today (if anyone reads this of course) due to a splitting headache. Here is an interesting piece I ran across, Nexus 57 by TLBKaus

The colour scheme is brilliant - orange and black make a powerful combo. The depth of the image is fascinating too - it almost looks like a miniature city!

Until next time!

Experimentation

Another day, another newspaper, and more disparaging news about celebrities. Alright, normal people make mistakes, yes, but celebrities like to do it on grander scales. Usually involving thousands of dollars, drugs and other stuff. Why? Why can't you dopes be peaceful, upstanding citizens when everyone else can? Is it the money?

Worthless hunks.

Anyways, let us return to the wonderful world of surreal art. Here is The Demon of Venice by borda

There is just so much going on in that image, all meshed beautifully, in a way that makes sense, that feels right. This type of art, as I mentioned sometime before, leaves the interpretation all up to the viewer.

How do I interpret it?

I don't even know! :D

Until next time

Commuter reporting for duty

Trains and anything related to them. Where all the weird stuff occur. People beating each other up? Why do you have to do it on a train?

I could ramble on and on about weird stuff happening on trains, but then you guys would never take a train again! D;

Today's piece is New York city concept by jubjubjedi
Yet another beautiful city. My favourite parts of this image are the random walkways that seem to connect the buildings to each other. That would be a beautiful sight in a real city, if it was artistically planned out well.

Kudos to jubjubjedi.

Change

Sleep is such a precious commodity :(

Here is Edge of Precipice by taenaron

Brilliant scene. Again, there's that beautiful looming, majestic city in the background, futuristic and wicked. We see a lone man, cloaked, observing silently, deciding his next course of action. The bridge itself - what is it a crossing for? We will never know. The colours fit well in the image, so pro. Wish I had an imagination like this.

Skipper

Do you read this? I bet you don't :(
If only I could say it to you now...

Anyways.

Here is Shadowgate by ChrisCold
I mention atmosphere again and again. But it is really important, and this image has a beautiful atmosphere. The colours are wonderful too - the sunset or thingy in the back is beautiful. Not to mention the actual 'shadowgate' - masterfully executed. The red cape of our humble warrior is pro too, the direction is sways in perfect.

10/10! :D

Failures

In the paper the other day, there was some tale about some stupid celebrity crashing a wedding, even after she was asked not to, and then asked to leave. Of course, she doesn't.

Celebrities. Over-paid losers who think they are a big piece of cheese in a little world.

Of course, not all of them are bad. But most of them are. Most of them. What gives them the right to ruin a wedding with their unwanted presences? Needed a good punch in the face, that loser.

Anyway, let us return to the city!

Here is hongkong by wlop. Stunning image, the atmosphere is beautiful, a classic city morning in the winter months, the rain pouring, obscuring all. The high-rise stand tall, the city lights pour out their energy to those interested. So vibrant, love it :D

I wish I could be eternally vibrant :D

Friday 24 August 2012

Whoosh

Handed in the 30 page report, weight lifted off me, I can now move my limbs! XD

There was a beautiful rainbow yesterday afternoon, it was so clear, never seen one like that before - usually they are faint and dull D:

 Feeling yaaay :D

I have found a master of surreal art. Time to share. May I present, Spanish Galions on Fire by borda

Such creative minds there are on this planet. I could never think up of such a brilliant idea. Hats off to borda. Just stunning imagery, environment, the colour range is wicked too.

Love it

Work, work

So much work to do!
On the other hand, I have been doing well in everything, so I'm happy with that :D

Without further ado...

Art Deco city concept by jubjubjedi has aa wonderful atmosphere, the futuristic sort - beautiful tinges of blue and green. Tall, majestic and imposing skyscrapers stand dormant in the background, waiting silently for...something :D (?)

:D

Brilliant piece though, love it!

Somewhere in time

Watching wind blow through long grass is a wonderful sight.

The type of weird conversations you can overheard on trains...for the better part of 2 seconds, I thought I was about to die today

Anywho

Here is Sharks by ChrisCold


Can you see the shark? I certainly can ;D
The dudes in red contrast brilliantly with the rest of the image. Overall, a beautiful piece

Down the empty lane

I've forgotten what I'd wanted to say D; I remember it was something epic, but...oh memory, you naughty child

While the weather is finally easing up, uni work-load isn't, I need to stop being so lazy. Gosh, DisaFear, get your act together D:

At the end of every...

Oh, here is Subway Construction 5 by Ssaash
Looks so realistic and beautiful. The colours are great, I love them. The piles of randomness lying about set a good atmosphere

What was I saying?

Oh yes

...tunnel, there's a light!

JC Denton

Drunk people will be the end of mankind. Seriously.

Hmm, interesting stuff happened at the train station today, but that's only a tale for those who ask! (Which is nobody >:( )

It involved standing - much like this guy in Stand by artbytheo (how lame was that mood setter? XD )


Wonder what that guy is waiting for. Business? A special person? The bus? No one will know XD But the mood of the image is quite nice

NaCl Rain

You can overhear lots of weird conversations on trains XD Just saying! Theu'll make good bedtime stories for your future generations.

There was once a guy talking about how he watched the lewd stuff on SBS late at night when no-one was around...and about how he had a prostitute friend who could offer them (his friends) a group discount

Yea, so...!

Here is Abandoned Harbor by VoltaCrew
Spectacular scene! That beautiful industrial look, of crates, and cranes, and a messy dock, love it! There are birds in the sky - sorry, no food for you here! The rust looks fantastic, the rain stunning. Just another day at the docks, eh?

Equilibrium

Yay for today :D Witnessed some fun experiments in Chemistry lab today :D Gotta love Elephant's toothpaste and the Rainbow Clock!

Anywho, let us get straight into it.

Here is Air Battle by SnowSkadi
The ships look beautiful. The one going down in flames, aww, you poor thing :( The flames look fantastic on it. The buildings, ah, reminds me of the nice, cute, old buildings in the city, the majestic leftovers of the past. The sky in this image is so pretty XD Wonder what they're fighting over. But then again, humans can fight over the most insignificant of things; geez louise, get your act together humans :D

Humans. Where would we be without them? *shrugs*

Lethargy

I'm so tired these days, so much work to do. Feel bad, can't even get the time to make a blog entry and do proper analysis (not that anyone cares :( )

So here is Church Cloisters by atomichawk

The lighting is magnificent, the colours and textures so real. I had to go back, just now, and check that it wasn't a photo XD

Kudos to atomichawk, nicely done!

I will be back!

Area 51

And here is on the tree by ChristianNauck
I like how the artist has said in his description "No story behind it besides the one in your head" - wisely said! The boy, covering the moon partially, master-stroke right there XD

Just lovely

Wishful

Is it true that the most modest people usually end up second?

And here is Make a Wish by keepwalking07

Naww, it's so cute. Almost as cute as mass effect liara plush, chibi style by viciouspretty (Close, but not! :)
ZOMG HOW CUTE IS THAT??? :3

Zero Kelvin

It's freezing over here in Melbourne! Just my type of weather :D The sidebar widget for weather shows the snow sign!! Never seen snow, wonder if I'm in for a surprise tonight XD

Yea, yea, alright, it's not zero Kelvin...yet...maybe one day ;D Now that is an interesting temperature

I wonder if that temperature can cause this, an abandoned city by poibuts

A wonderful image. If you read the artist's description, it shows humans fleeing Earth to move to a new home, while some remainder of the population look on. I love the rockets fired up into the sky, something calm and tranquil about them (yes, I'm weird).

Now to buy a pair of gloves XD

Humble

I always used to tell people "Look at those below you, not at those higher than you, and be grateful!"

But it seems like I am a hypocrite :(

Maybe that's just my tiredness speaking. Meaning I can't babble on about todays art piece, as I like to

Here is a beautiful image, titled Environment Sketch - With Layers by k04sk
 Reminds me of DM-Peak from Unreal Tournament 99. Such creativity! XD

Enjoy

Speed of light

Oh, that feeling when someone is walking extremely slow, or standing in the middle of a doorway/staricase, urgh! Need a good thump to send them to their destination. Not all of mankind has time for their dallying. Ah, one of these days, their phone is going to fall when they bump into a pole, or I blitz past them. And then I will laugh. :D

(so cruel, I am)

Speaking of phones...train passes a crowded station. What do you see? Phones. People on phones. People, heads bent, poking at their phone. Is this what the future consists of?

Really?

Behold the future, when people will shrivel up due to lack of physical activities, when people will be obsessed with maintaining their 'Internet cred'

Ah, poor future generations. Never know what's gonna hit ya

Anywho.

Let us return to the alleyways, those places that everyone loves :'D

And here is Dangerous Alleyway by atomahawk
Ah, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside! The colour range is spectacular, cities at night-time look spectacular <3 The water covering the ground, and the reflections, are perfect. The lighting is immaculate, the smoke effect stunning. Such beauty. Makes me want to take a nice stroll  through there with someone in hand, enjoying the breath-taking scenery (yes, I consider this alleyway 'scenery' XD )

Who wants to visit an alleyway with me!? D;

Rain Dance

Cleanliness is something I highly value. Brushing my teeth, vacuuming the house, tidying my shelf, all of these give me some form of satisfaction XD

Anyways

Time to re-visit our old buddy and check out another of his fantastic pieces. May I introduce, John-F-Kennedy Alien Hunter by SharpWriter
What a creatively awesome piece! I love the unicorn, it just looks so awesome, with its futuristic, robotic design and all. What is that in Kennedy's hand? D:

But yea, this guy has awesome ideas!

Friday 3 August 2012

Fryday

Highlights of the day:
  • Asian woman feeling her partners stomach affectionately: *gasp* "You're pregnant too??"
  • Math lecturer being a good Samaritan and saving a hatching from a hungry bird
  • Woman somehow got past the detector for the automatic sliding doors, trying to get through them by pulling at them XD
  • Demonstration on equilibrium in Chemistry lecture, involving a whirlpool of water! :D
 Found a really amusing image just then, may I present Ronald Reagan Riding A Velociraptor by SharpWriter

What a lad! Casually riding his monster truck and gunning down the baddies ;D I like the way all of it is set out; being a beginner Photoshop-er myself, I can understand the effort needed to produce such a quality piece. And it takes quite a creative mind to create such an image that can communicate such a message as in this piece

That is all :D

Hemi-finished being

6 hours straight of classes can be harsh indeed! But I won a prize in class! XD

Also, late trains and drunk people are the bane of mankind D;

Let us return to the dark and grim places of the city. May I present, the Alley by SimonWeaner

What a beautiful scene! The downpour, how refreshing! (As you may know, I love rain)
What is happening in this image? We see the fires in the building, something unusual on a rainy day. Then we notice the man, hiding, body tense and coiled, vigilant, ready to strike. Is he up to mischief? Or is he the victim?
We can only speculate!

And catch the glimpses of the beautiful city in the background, looming mightily and proud.

:D

Kemistry

Yay! I spilled chemicals in my Chemistry Lab :D

And here is Halloween Gate by jerry8448

Perfectly foreboding. Bored owl, check. Grinning pumpkin, check. Tower in the mists, check.

And that is all XD
