LiAM Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Not tags, not anything really in particular. Inspired by similar works as my last post "digital glitch works". Digitally manipulated and constructed abstract images. [spoiler=First][/spoiler] Any comments, suggestions, ideas or similar artists? http://bravelittlepixel.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 [spoiler=First]No but seriously, it has it's own kind of charm. It may look like a 5 year old drew it on Paint, but all pieces are admirable in their own way. ^^[/spoiler] This style is pretty neat, imo. Simple shapes, contrasting overlaps, the smudgy background, and the squiggly-line foreground express that even the simplist of shapes with the most contrasting elements can combine to make a neat piece of art.

LiAM Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Haha, thanks. I hid the first simply because I preferred the aesthetic of the second and didn't want 2 huge images taking up space. But thanks, I take a lot of inspiration from abstract, design, surrealism, geometry and pop art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DG- Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I can't say I rather enjoy the squiggles, not because of how random, but rather how shaky they are. If you could get say a tablet like wacom and smooth them out, I think it would look pretty amazing! I love the 2nd one, you have a nice combination of a rather detailed focal with other geometric shapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the 2nd one, you have a nice combination of a rather detailed focal with other geometric shapes I'm not going to lie, the first image took the best part of 5 minutes, I opened up Gimp and scribbled because I forgot what I wanted to do. I added the shapes and colours later, so the 'shaky' thing I understand. I tried to 'smooth' the lines more in the second image by drawing quickly on my laptop's trackpad, it seemed to 'guess' what I had drew so made a much smoother line. I didn't want to use a line/pen tool to create a perfect line, but that is an option. Thanks for looking and taking time to critique however.

Smear Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Are you using GIMP or Photoshop?Can I suggest using the pentool? It draws a line depending on what you plot, and you can curve the lines evenly and make touch ups here and there. It can give a scribble-look that still keeps the lines looking nice and even.

Being a poor student with a phobia of torrenting, I'm left using Gimp, but I know how to use it more than PS. There are PS facilities at my University however I wont have access until October. I might try the line tool, learn how it works a little more. I have plans with this work to include a 'collage' theme, cut-outs or images of various objects/things. I see similar work online using classic human sculptures amongst their work and sometimes a random mash, like a Dorito and plant pot. Currently trying to partner with a photographer who will provide free to use images for my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DG- Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I can upload my portable CS6 to mediafire for you if you like. It's a bit different from GIMP, but the quality you can produce is like 200x better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works wonders, even has the 3d design part. I haven't noticed any missing features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
