More explorations into Op techniques...


Rainbow Serpent

Not as eye-searing as I hoped. It went its own direction.

[ addendum: decided to stick one of the variants I used for reducing eyestrain while still seeing the overall feel of it in a comment. Color changes everything. ]

The overall radial part is still pretty eye-hurting, though. :)

Pretty damned amazing, Peggy....

(in a good way)

It's plenty eye-searing. Trust me. @_@ *replaces her fried optic nerves*

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

Going to get a banner of it done? :D

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

There were a bunch of routes I didn't go down. Ultimately I dropped almost everything I tried to do to the part of the serpent in the center.

This variant is partially the result of me making some alternate layers and color choices so I could work on it without extreme optic pain. Op art fights back.

What would it be like with polychromatic eye searing colours ?

You mean you don't see them already?

Same issue as your last picture...

...for some reason your webserver doesn't want to serve that image all in one batch. =o.O=

Tried wget, firefox, Konqourer, everything I could think of short of loading a Mac emulator to run it under Safari. Keep having to request it about 4k at a time or the download just stalls out.

As a side-note though, the picture is really, REALLY nifty. =^.^=

Weird! I haven't been having any problems, though it's been a little slow to load sometimes. How's it come up when you try looking at it on Deviantart, say?

Some browsers restart stalled connections automatically to 'hide' server issues. FireFox isn't one of those as far I as know.

And it comes up near-instantly on DA. If it's not in my cache when I view it here though, *F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5*F5* until it loads.

I think it's something between you and my host. I just browsed through a good chunk of my site with Firefox and things were fine. And I'm currently using a spotty wireless connection stolen from our neighbors! *shrug*

Hrm... would explain it. I'm guessing it's some broken attempt at caching between here and there I suppose. I thought to try tracerouting, and just after I hit Louis-Erickson-1074854.cust-rtr.pacbell.net I stop getting traceroute replies entirely. I'll poke Ma Bell about it.

Measurements of city sound would seem so much more violent than this. '.'

Nice. Looking up and across the sky from the bottom of a downtown city street.

I could read all kinds of things into this, but I doubt they're there!

Maybe it's Ouroboros releasing its tail, symbolising that some cycle has been broken. Like the cycle of life and death. Or a motorcycle.

This is so cool, though. It has implied lines in the extreme. So many explicit lines and not one of them actually identifies an edge. I love it!

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

There is more to this than "what can I use these techniques for' - google the title.

[eriscontrol.livejournal.com]

Aha. I was way off, and yet so close.

[dasnarrenschiff.livejournal.com]

Looks wonderful! But then, you know I like snakes.

[paka.livejournal.com]

Oh YEAH! And I like the black and white; that (lack of) color choice reminds me of the Sea of Holes in "Yellow Submarine," which is pretty close to my favorite part of that movie.

[luoto.livejournal.com]

Interesting! Looking at this for a moment does odd things to my eyes; I see colours,(mainly blue, violet and yellow)and strange waving patterns...
"Rainbow serpent" is a suitable name for this!

[eriscontrol.livejournal.com]

I believe the strange waving patterns are moiré patterns, and I see them too!

[turbinerocks.livejournal.com]

This is the SHIT. I fucking love it. Now I want to go put on some Atomic Rooster and get baked. :D
