I Feel New. In A Good Way. :D
What a week. On DA that is. My life out in the real world... well, less said. Nothing disastrous, but not worth talk about either. So let's talk about something worth our time. The posts for this week. You guys showed up for the posts this week. First up the honorable mention from Sunday. I think I should give this another shot when I get better paper that is meant to work with water. But I still appreciate everyone who thought that I put in a good effort for that weekend's project. :D Like the setting sun, Monday came unavoidably. I saw a version of a Venus Flytrap. Hence the name. The 'middle' second does remind a bit of Elizabethan neck wear. The faded edges on it was a nice thing that came about from trying different colours. Now you are prepared for Tuesday. I was not prepared for the amount of attention that Tuesday's post got. My normally quite phone keep pinging with each fave through out Wednesday during work. I totally blame the unintentional illusion that
New Medium This Week
So what I have you today is water color, soft pastels and a smidgen of marker and color pencil. I stumbled across an instagram of something I called stupidly easy for making a dandelion with water color. I didn’t have any of my own, so I bought some cheap watercolors while I was out yesterday. My first mistake was using the wrong brush. Then I forgot a step that really altered the look of the dandelion. I thought I found a fix, but it was only half successful. Then when I was thinking of trying again, I saw another vid in my search and stubbed my noise at how half of it Was made.I don’t know how to link instagram posts here yet, but if you do a search for watercolor dandelions, you will see better versions of these two. This was the one I set out to make at first. I used the wrong brush, black marker for the lines and watercolor, well, for the colors.😊 This is when I realized that my paper is too thin for the amount of water I used, never mind the amount I should have used.
Lackluster Week
The numbers are everywhere this week with my posts. Two posts from last week got eyeballs this week and once again I almost forgot about last week's Sunday post. So it got the banner position today. :) I wish we could move them. The photo used for banners. I would lower it so you could see their faces. Oh well. Let's get this party started. Blue love on a Sunday. That's an interesting title. A few people stopped by for a closer look, but only 6 thought it was worth adding to their collection. Odd people. :shrug: The dread of Monday. It may not have been as bad as war, but I heard that work is killing a few of us. I tried to not have this be a simple photo. I wanted to doctor it and show that I did. Only 15 appreciated my efforts, but I appreciate all of them. :D Rinse and repeat Tuesday. The fractal layout is actually new, over all. I haven't done fully centered round fractals since I started to make fractals like 10 years ago, I think. I'll have to double
The Long And Short of It
Let's start off with the 'Honorable Mention' from Sunday. I still feel impressed when I look at it. :D Now we get to work. Monday. This fractal had two renderings. One at what was my go-to size of 15000x12500 and it was looking like it was going to take over a day. So I stopped that and waited over a week, if not two or three before realizing that I had to real reason to render my fractals that big at the moment. So I figured that I could render this at a smaller size and if I needed it larger later I'll just re-render it when I had like two days to spear. After surviving Monday we wake up to Tuesday. Another from the archives. It feels like a window into the past at this point. I'm pretty sure that this view looks a bit different now. I'm sure the trees are still around, that was a bit of a selling point for the area, but in the distance I think there are more taller buildings now. Now that you believe in work again, you have Wednesday to get through.
