I admit this would be able to kill any single epileptic outthere...
But it's also incredibly fascinating, this image seems to move O_o or am i the only one to see that?
There's 3d effect, how damn did you do that?
It's pretty eyebleeding, but amazing....

Hmm. it moves? That's interesting. In theory it might, but to me it just looks vibrating. I get the impression that both eyes see slightly different colors (even though I work on a CRT). It was quite a trip painting this thing... %)

The 3d effect might be due to this shift of the red color leftwards - it looks on a different plane. And there red's a fog, being another indicator of depth. Other than that, I don't think there's any magic here.

I really love the way the arm on the left looks like it's fading into the distance, <3

omg i love this one
great work
very bright

Goaty Mc goatpants!!Awsome!

it's amazing how different the effect is depending on the tilt of my laptop screen.

I was about to say the same thing! Flatscreen monitors=whoa.

Ah, that's pretty interesting. Too bad I have no LCDs around...

oh my god, this is my favourite shade of red! and my favourite colour in general. although all colours look nice depending on their context.
but yeah, this is up there with my favourites, in 'high altitude'.

Yeah I can see a border on one side of the contrasts (widescreen lcd monitor)
I love the way this came out, though it hurts my eyes

HaHAH, I love it when artists are fully aware of the technology their art floats on, and use it to an effect.

...I'm getting a headache, too. Which is equal parts impressive and annoying. XD

*will try an LCD optical steganographic image later*

Each piece is like an exploration of style

When you wear glasses with strong correction (as I do) you live with constant chromatic aberration (not to mention spherical aberration, but that's another issue). Blues refract more than reds, so I can shift the mis-registration around just by moving my head. Colors with pure spectra, like LEDs, present this effect spectacularly, to the point where they actually seem to focus at different depths due to parallax. To think — Matisse thought red was relaxing (e.g. The Red Studio). I bow to your command of anatomy.

I fetched a pair of stronger glasses - I see what you mean. :) In theory, if you turn your head left (for -) or right (for +), you should make the red align perfectly and the contours look symetric.

Interesting you mention that - I don't "get" Matisse's colors. At all. I have a suspition he was from mars...

I don't get borders on my LCD screen, but tilting the screen and shifting my head (strong glasses here, too) is very fun. I like how the faint background image comes out purple-ish when you look at the picture from above and close to the screen.
On the other hand, the LCD makes it impossible for me to determine which exact shade of red you intended, which sucks.

Inaccurate colors are the reason I don't even concider using LCDs. :) They completely drive me nuts.
If one can lift a monitor - it's not a serious monitor.

Inaccurate colors are no longer much of an issue with LCDs. Cheap LCDs, maybe, but then again, cheap CRTs suck big hairy wanker, too. LCD monitors like the LaCie or Eizo are nowadays preferred by proofing wonks (can't even get the CRT version of the Electron Blue anymore). But any monitor has to be profiled, or you're just guessing at the colors, and it should be re-profiled every year at least.

Yes, LCDs have got better, that's true, but I still see quite substantial color differences depending on angle. I can't get over it... It drives me nuts.

I have the electron blue crt. It's magic, alright, but the magnets are already failing, so it'll hold no more than a year. LaCie have been making top notch monitors, but look at the lcd prices now... Their crts were pricy (worth every cent, though) but atleast they were somewhat affordable. Now a good affordable monitor is hard to find (well, there still are viewsonic crts - they're ok).

Actually, inaccurate colours can be quite nice because you can work with very low contrasts by tilting your head and screen. It's very fun and intuitive, even if it does influence the end result.
But then again, I don't have a head for colours anyway, so even if the colours are "correct" (whatever that means, seeing as they come out differently depending on the screen settings, frame and light colour etc.), the subtleties are lost on me.

PS: I can barely lift my (fancy big expensive) LCD screen. Does that mean it's almost a proper monitor?

> One of these days I will finally succeed at making you puke.


That would be a goal best left for an artist who lacked your skill. You have better things in store.

WOW, that's intense!
