Please check out Remember Paradise by the talented Sally Omar. Sun illuminating / Emerald green sea / Swimming in inviting water / Her sparkling eyes / His broad shoulders / Hand in hand / He kissed her eyes / She kissed his neck / Naked on the beach / Whispers in her ear / Lovemaking in the white sand / Watching the sunset / Sleeping on the beach / In total embrace / Watching sunrise / Long walk on the beach / Glistening water / The feeling of sand between their toes / The words I love you spoken over and over / REMEMBER PARADISE
When the “Best of Blue” challenge was summoned, I inmediately thought of the ocean; the deep, blue ocean that surrounds my native and beloved small island. And the ocean reminded me of a close friend, who loves the sea, its coral reefs, and, coincidentally.. the color blue. / So, this image became a sort of representation of watercoloured memories and good feelings. / Thanks for stopping by.
A cinema 4D render + postwork
Just for the fun of it.
A cinema4D render. I´d wish this image to work as a reminder of how deeply we´re involved with nature.
Right side of the image is basically a cinema4D render _ including the Peacock Chair, which is a 3D object created by Redbubble artist ArtPearl that I used here with her permission. / ArtPearl / Rest is pure postwork.
Well, I´m not even talking about the young men of my generation; I was a kid when Marlene Dietrich already was an old dame; but I heard the stories.
I´ve been thinking for a long time on a tribute to this monumental song written by Cole Porter, which is also a signature song for Frank Sinatra. I´d have liked to present a more appropiate version, but this is what finally came up to my mind. / I know this is a worldwide wellknown hit song of all times; anyhow here´s the link to one of those remarkable Sinatra performances. / I´ve got you under my skin
I´m in the process of creating a series of images entitled “Windows”; then this image came up, almost by itself. It reminded me of one of my all time favorite songs: Easy To Be Hard, from “Hair”, the 60s legendary rock musical. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you´ll realize that the world hasn´t changed too much since then. / Here´s the link to this song, performed by one of my favorite pop/rock groups: Three Dog Night. / Easy To Be Hard / There´s an outstanding version of this song by 3DogNight with the London Symphony Orchestra but I´ll keep this reference for another tribute to this Group. Cause, let me tell´ya Eli´s Coming… Easy To Be Hard ( lyrics) How can people be so heartless / How can people be so cruel / Easy to be hard / Easy to be cold How can people have no feelings / How can they ignore their friends / Easy to be proud / Easy to say no And especially people / Who care about strangers / Who care about evil / And social injustice / Do you only / Care about the bleeding crowd? / How about a needing friend? / I need a friend How can people be so heartless / You know I’m hung up on you / Easy to give in / Easy to help out And especially people / Who care about strangers / Who say they care about social injustice / Do you only / Care about the bleeding crowd / How about a needing friend? / I need a friend How can people have no feelings / How can they ignore their friends / Easy to be hard / Easy to be cold / Easy to be proud / Easy to say no
I guess it doesn´t make much sense to talk about how some words keep floating in our minds for some time, and the need to create something in order to, somehow, get rid of them or, at least, to live in peace with them. It doesn´t make much sense, I know, not here. / The day I read One tear by Linaji I knew I´d have a hard time with the expression “private tear”. This is all I could do to compensate those feelings.
I guess the image speaks by itself. / This is an original cinema4D render; no postwork this time. / CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application, produced by MAXON Computer GmbH of Friedrichsdorf, Germany. / Thanks for stopping by.
I´m a coffee addict and I´ve also became an addict to linaji writings. / But the point is that her Morning Coffee poem goes far beyond those two facts. / So this image was inspired by the words that follow: Morning Coffee Tantalizing what a rim on a cup of coffee feels like / Where your lips perhaps become mine. / Scales and outer edges folded inside my skin, / Where you left something / Precious like poison, / Pervasive and deadly, / Yet, / I survive and immune myself to the next / Visit, / Yours / Picking up this Kundalini Captive / A snake in sheep’s clothing, / Soft and gentle at first / Then you strike / And I am pierced in dead heat / In forever flesh / Teasing me over the edge that allows for / Everything to abide / You, my skin of the Soul Mate / Scratching my thoughts into declaring / My listless desire that stays and stays / Until the continuum of our Love is saited Linaji 2009

One of the main elements involved in the (African) Yoruba divination system is the divination tray. This tray (Ifá) serves as the template on which sacred signs related to the personal concerns of a diviner’s client are traced as the point of departure for analysis. / This time the idea was that of using this divination tray as a basic platform to display the main Orishas _ the African gods and goddesses_ and their peculiar attributes. / So this is basically a Cinema4D render, made in collaboration with artist Artpearl / She not only contributed by modeling the divination tray but with the whole conception of the series; the fact is that Artpearl has played a very important role in my CG learning process; her suggestions, constructive crits and incredible “eye” for details have always been a great support to every single step or direction I´ve decided to take in this field. More than that, alongside this journey we´ve become friends; and that´s one of the best things that could ever happened to me. / Photo/background/foreground images were blended with Photoshop; there´s also a bit of digital painting. / (CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application, produced by MAXON Computer, Germany.) / —-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Yemaja (Yemalla) is a mother goddess, originally of the Yoruba religion, who has become prominent in many Afro-American religions. / In (Cuban) Santeria, she is seen as the mother of all living things as well as the owner of all waters. / Her number is 7 (a tie into the 7 seas), her colors are blue and white (representing water). / She rules the sea, the Moon, dreams, deep secrets, ancient wisdom, ocean secrets, the collective unconscious, and the surface of the ocean, seas, and lakes. / In Africa she is known as Mama Watta, Mother of Waters. / There´s a lot of information regarding this african goddess in internet; here´s a link to Wikipedia: / Yemaya
music, heat, an empty club, and a girl waiting for her lover ;-)
Featured in Bryce and Beyond! / Please view large. / © 2009 Danilo Lejardi / This is a new version of an old Cinema 4D render. In fact, it was the first image I tried to upload to this site, but I realized that the original resolution was extremely low considering RedB image size requirements. / Just blurred small areas with Photoshop. The icy-water mesh was created with RealFlow software. / Oh! The original idea was that of recreating an ice queen, or something like that. / So, here it´s again.
