The main goal for this project was and is to have fun with divergent thinking.

I find it easy to manipulate images but also to paint digitally and this project/challenge combines both techniques and trains the ability to see beyond patterns.

 

The usage for these images can be conceptart, but also poster-art, album-cover-art and magazine-editorial. I´m open for inquiries regarding that usage, but not limited by them.

Below you see the newest piece in the series which is accompanied by a process video.

Watch the video to understand the real challenge behind this creation...

The initial inspiration for these robotic alien-like cyborgs came from artists like Cat-Meff and Anthony Jones.

The "Daily Deviation"-feature on this one was a real surprise and has motivated me to keep this series of selfassigned challenges alive. 

 

Other variations of this concept have been in my mind before, but I just had losely thrown them together with brushes, lasso-tool and random shapes. the result is a more rough, organic approach but the similarities are still visible.

The time spent on these images vary between 25 minutes and 45 minutes, whereas the motorcycle-speed-manipulations took around 40 minutes up to 2 hours.

The technique used in these are rather different and the key is to see something in the shapes that were created using the lasso tool.
