Description
On crrunchyfrog's request, I decided to make a developed version of Familiar Symbols
I took it into Painter 8 and used the Grainy Water tool (in the Blenders section) to completely smooth/smudge the whole image down, then combined it with the original in Photoshop 7, introducing three layers of solid colour (in Overlay and Colour modes) to tint the image, my favoured method of arriving at new colour schemes.

I am glad you colored this, but secretly I was hoping for something startlingly bright, something alien in color. I didn't realize I was even thinking about it until I saw this version. LOL Still, The subtle coloring looks great. :)

Great shapes and flow to this...

Like DawnStar, I was thinking your usual deep hued style, but I do like this very much :) So soft and delicate :) HUGS Thanks so much for sharing buddy, and I'm always happy to make requests if it keeps you producing such interesting work ;) HUGS

strangely exotic & a bit erotic, i like reading the steps you did to achieve this :]

This reminds me very much and is similar to some of the animation done in Pink Floyd's movie "The Wall." The scene in particular where the "female" flower seduces and eats the "male" phallic flower. If you already haven't seen it I implore you do so. It's wildly cool stuff. Beautiful job you have done here!

Ah yes, possibly my favourite part of the whole film, and possibly my favourite piece of the album... so well done :-)

I would not have expected this image to look that good after colouring. My congrats!

Oh wow..........I wasn't keen on the idea of colouring it, but this is really fabulous!

yes - the shading changes the image look for me - It seems to have gone from long flowing hair feel to Jack and the bean stock Roger Dean style ;)

Not at all the colour I would have imagined for this but I like it! The forms appear to change quite dramatically in my eyes & the image evokes very different feelings to the original.
cbender
well i agree with bev - it gives a totally different feeling to it... :) and it's great both ways...

Astonishing doodling!! ;) You have a way with the pen!!

Why is this so appealing Jim? Is it the obvious human forms in it? Or is just really appealing to the eye. Im just confused but I really like it. Nice one :0 )
gallimel
impressive. I mean.. this is so much Schiele kind of nervous linework. amazing.

If you haven't already you might want to look up the artist "Georgia O'keefe" I think you will like some of her flower paintings, they have a similar provocative style as this drawing - and some of your other works. This is truely beautiful.

,,,very strong work - suggestive of many things ---slight background echo with upside down reversed outline works quite well...a pleasure to view.
