[Aeris Logo]

very nice, very nice

[Depression]

This is very interesting. I've never seen my depression as something physical.

[Chasing the 'HMS Storm']

Niiice sense of depth there. Beautiful lighting and waterspots.

[Thing]

The woman is simply beautiful. I love her facial expression. It feels so genuine.

The sheer detail of the scarf seems out of place, but that serves to strongly highlight it in the image, and I like the overall effect. The neutral color of everything else sets the stage perfectly for the scarf, allowing it to stand out without busying the image.

The colored circles in the background subtly add a lot of balance and life to the image.

Also... where can I buy this scarf? XD

Say no to Sméagol.

Very nice, man.

[Celebration of Arrival]

I love this lively image. You did very well creating a clear sense of depth even with a lot of bold and contrasting colors.

pretty!

Thanks! :)

[R&L]

7.5 million pixels. I was not expecting that.

BenTibbetts responds:

Yes, this took a long time to render!

[Pixelated]

I think I feel similarly to WahyaRanger in that, when I look at this image, I feel like I'm looking at /nothing/. But I don't think it is because nothing is there, because nothing would indeed catch my attention. I'm very confused because I don't understand why I feel like I'm looking at nothing. It feels so intensely /nothing/ that it seems poetic. Like... it captures the idea of nothing better than true emptiness.

I think it is because, in true nothing, your mind fills in the blanks. Images arise in the darkness. But here is a clearly defined image that has already filled in all the blanks. It is difficult to arrange the elements of the image into something familiar or regular. So, instead, it remains as simple data in the mind. This bids further study.

Does that make sense? No? Okay, nevermind then. Pretend like I said "nothing". ;)

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks for your comment. That sounds like an interesting experience. It's true that this isn't just a square of same-colored pixels, if that's what you mean by "nothing". (I probably wouldn't upload an image like to Newgrounds.)
