Iris

Danilo Lejardi

Iris

Yes, even those forest creatures deserve to be cared and loved. And that´s what came to my mind the last time I heard Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Here you have the lyrics:

Iris

And Id give up forever to touch you
cause I know that you feel me somehow
Youre the closest to heaven that i´ll
Ever be
And I dont want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
cause sooner or later its over
I just dont want to miss you tonight

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you cant fight the tears that aint
Coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know youre alive

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I dont want the world to see me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

    Purpleball

    Wooooowww! :O Can u teach me how to do that! >_<

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    Thank you very much. OK, friend, there are several softwares involved in this image. I created the 3d female figure in cinema 4D_ a 3D software; then I opened it in Photoshop and started bending layers containing the birds images. Finally. I added the background and foreground images. I know it´s much more complicated than this, but think it gaves you an idea of the techniques and programs involved.

    Whoa! I never saw this whenever I’ve heard Iris but then again I’m not the visionary like you. This is insanely good and really shows off your mastery of photo manipulation and lighting. Superb work!

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    Hi, Jeff, actually I´ve been hearing ” Iris” since the 90s and I´d never thought of representing Iris this way.But, a few days ago I heard again, and ask myself those what-if and why- not questions? And then this image came up. Thanks for your kind words.

    Criatura del agua…
    te mueves en la esencia, Danilo.
    Gota a gota…
    mirando a través del prisma que se mueve,
    con el peso de la sustancia bendita.
    Me atraviesa sin dolor,
    puramente… cómo en la piel de las células…
    Somos hermosura acuática.
    Rosa (me encanta… me hablabas de Iris en tu correo.. pero había entrando en ella, todavía…no importa la herramienta que utilices.. es un alma creativa la que crea… oye….te envío este poema de un amigo…buen amigo. Merece la pena potenciar la comunicación en Lengua Castellana…sí….merece….
    Marcelita…y Mago
    Un abrazote…

    Woweee wonderful work

  • happyfeet5

    Wow. I don’t know a thing about how to really draw (just a tiny bit) nor haven’t taken much pictures and wouldn’t know how to work art with photos in a computer. All I know how to do is write. But I can appreciate art and know what I like. And I know this took a lot of work and imagination. You really can create, because this is sure a strange creature. Lo unico es que mi nombre es Blanca Iris. Se imagina si yo me viera así? lol Loved it. Great work. Iris

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    En realidad, no es tan dificl Blanca Iris. En el arte todo es selección, estar siempre en capacidad de seleccionar desde la idea hasta las herramientas que vas a usar. Una vez que tienes claras estas cosas, lo demás viene solo. Ah! Y creer mucho en ti misma, en que siempre puedes. Es bueno contar con la opinión de los demás, pero la primera satisfacción es con uno mismo; si a los demás les gusta lo que haces está bien, y si no, pues también.

  • happyfeet5

    happyfeet5

    Eso es cierto. Lo primero es como es que uno se siente con su creacion, puesto que uno es el que ha puesto el esfuerzo, el talento, la mente, y lo que quiere interpretar. Pero la opinion, bueno, cuando es buena, tambien satisface a uno. Pero si es critica constructiva, pues uno piensa, analiza, y aunque sabe que uno le gusta lo que creo, piensa uuuummmm, quizas, pueda mejorar en esto. Ahora, si la critica es negativa, como para destruir, para simplemente criticar y desvalorizar, pues que se vaya para otro lado la persona. Uno sigue con lo suyo. Ahora, si algo me gusta, pues me gusto, aunque no sea un experta en critica o en dibujo, pintura, o fotografia. Y lo digo. Y me gusta decir el por que me gusto. Y siempre trato de buscar que es lo que el artista nos trata de decir con esta obra, con estos colores y con estos detalles. Bueno, se ve que soy escritora. Mis comentarios siempre son largos. Pero digo lo que siento. Y siempre doy encomio por el esfuerzo y el buen trabajo. Sigue adelante, pues lo haces muy bien. Bravo. Iris
