Description


My final piece for the February Theme. This is an image I created three years ago for a black and white album cover (click here for the original). Like the piece I uploaded yesterday I felt it stood up as an image in its own right, so I removed the text and colour-tinted it. Ingredients by the way are my hand (of course) wrapped with an electric power cable, my ear, my closed eye, my tongue, a white earphone, several old audio leads and also the volume dial and headphone socket of my personal stereo... no I'm not insane... Many thanks for taking a look and for your feedback :-)

That is so incredibly excellent! What an awesome surreal image - ! The fact that it's photoreal makes it all the more mind-boggling - awesome, awesome image!

@Jeff: Yep, that was the idea... a kind of bizarre organic audio interface ;-)

@korborak: By scanning all these things in and carefully blending them together in Photoshop. It's very important to get the tones equal so that it appears seamless and therefore "natural looking" ;-)

I like the new one better, too. Very well done! Your explanation to korborak heightens my respect for your work. This image DOES look natural, none of the parts have a tacked-on look. I like the warm color, too. Not surprisingly, I have never seen a hand with an ear in it. And I just noticed the ear has eyelashes. Well, they say an ear in the hand is worth two in the, um, nevermind.

Your technical prowess is off the charts amazing. And yes, it's completely obvious that you're --- oh wait, you said you were NOT insane. Nevermind. :)

I like this one much better. Has a natural flow to it throughout the image. I really like how you melded the hand into an earlike shape. It's seamless which adds to the "realism" (so to speak). I think it's cool...excellent work!

the wrongorder.. I know.. but this is shining to me. beside the fact you use my beloved yellow in your trademarked golden tone (which I adore) this is a wonderful compo. It reminds me of that piece of you with the ear in teh hand that made me drool more than one year ago :)
