This is the first in a series of explorations into The Lost City theme. Symbolic representations of my own life. Collage of various extractions from my photos and worked in Photoshop.
This is my entry for the Photoshop Creative competition / Digital Mixed Media. Mostly done in Photoshop CS2. A touch of Corel Painter and Apophysis 2.0. This image is composed of digital painting, a few fractals, and several photographs added for texture. I hope you all like it because I’ve been working on it for most of this week :). / This is the first I’ve completed in a new series: The Elijah Series. This image represents the chariot of fire. You can read about it here: 2 Kings 2:7-12. There is so much going on in this image so I’ll help you out: The Chariot driven by some sort of Angelic being is in the center of the image while the horses of fire are at the bottom, very front of the image. The blazing light of Heaven is in the very back. Basically, the sky has opened up and the Chariot of Fire is coming down from Heaven to separate Elisha and Elijah. The whirlwind that takes Elijah up into Heaven will be the next image I do in this series. Thank you for looking!
Surrealistic Digital Art / / _“Let there be light” is an English translation of the Hebrew יְהִי אוֹר (yehiy ‘or). Other translations of the same phrase include the Latin phrase fiat lux, and the Greek phrase γενηθήτω φώς (or genēthētō phōs). The phrase is often used for its metaphorical meaning of dispelling ignorance. The phrase comes from the third verse of the book of Genesis in the King James Bible: 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. / 1:2 – And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. / 1:3 – And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. / 1:4 – And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness._ / / Pair with… / / / / / MCN: CCB37-A1E56-16AAA / / © Imber 2007.

This is another magical area of North Wales ….. Coed y Brenin ….. I have used Painter X to render the image, it has the fullest range of ’ natural ’ brushes and if used with a graphics tablet the transition from orthodox to digital painting is painless, with the added bonus, you can ’ fiddle ’ with the end painting with the knowledge that if you go too far, you can remove it. / As a former traditional artist, I thoroughly recommend ’ Corel Painter ‘ / Final ’ tweaks ’ were made in Photoshop …...

This is a Mini Horse Stallion, he is a Palomino (very light) with pinto markings and appaloosa markings, the way the morning sun was laying on him you can barely see the appaloosa markings on the hip. This stallion is part of a large herd located in rural Southern Oregon. Thanks to the hosts of Equine Portrait Photography for featuring this Dec 2009 Many thanks to the hosts of All Oregon USA and Pets Are Us for featuring this image! / / Taken with a Nikon D100 with f.28 80-200 zoom / F-stop 3.5 / focal length 160.0 mm / ISO 200 / exposure time 1/1600 of a sec / Miniature Horse definition: / A small, sound, well-balanced horse, possessing the correct conformation characteristics required of most breeds, Refinement and femininity in the mare. Boldness and masculinity in the stallion – the general impression should be one of symmetry, strength, agility and alertness. Since the breed objective is the smallest possible perfect horse, preference in judging shall be given the smaller horse, other characteristics being approximately equal. Size: Must measure not more than 34 inches at the withers, at the last hairs of the mane
I’ve been at this a long time and I’m so happy to have it completed. I have explanations for everything but I decided I’d let you folks artistically interpret it for a while. What do you reckon? 100% Hand drawn in HB and 2B And here are some of the interpretations The sun is an expression of your full creative potential – the fully-realised self – the upper tree to me looks like a representation of the brain, with it’s left and right hemispheres joined in the middle, and connected to the trunk (spinal column) of the ‘self’ – reaching into the collective unconcious of the earth, and your heart, your core emotional self, at the point where they merge. / -Mistertrooth Then it comes out the “interpretation” from a symbolism, that is really inherent to the piece. / The Tree…the Being. / Sound, Straight, Exuberant, / sort of a tight pressed Being, against the background. / Even you have created a perfect space softened by a blurring mist and two distant objects. For me…it is a bit suffocating. / The Sun…whimsical character here….like a woman dressed as man, doing a strip-tease show.The Idea… metaphorical, is that feeling inside , of the Cosmic Father containing much of the feminine and that once in a while is stripped of his boastful manner of doing things, and trying to reach to the cool earth..It seems that is not the tree the one needed of the feeding , nurturing sun, but the sun needed of the fresh branching of the tree. To the point of letting his rays be falling like coquette petals of a sunflower. Calling thus, his attention. / Spliting brain…not splitting at all. Just a harmonic consciousness of the brain division…very important in all the work.From there is the creativity of the artistic expression. Intellect is not dueling between the two sides, but profiting of their differences. / The Action. Queer. The Essence’s action is coming from two points. To the right (which is your left really) Yang drive. The rigid and ancestral organization of a hive. The reason well administered, managed. They bees, thoughts, seem to be there free going. False. They work in a perfect machine organization. Nothing is out of the system. / Left. The symbolism of the intuition, feminine, lunar, side. The hamster is trapped. In a sort of Wheel of Fortune, The feminine, lunar side is trying to advance to the future, but is dominated by inertia. And a humble bee is encouraging his coming out. She is a dissident….dissidence of our own thoughts and reasoning, sometimes is a great punch to our ego-centered jail of the intellect. / And at last!!! / The clockwork heart!. An extraordinary piece of art, that believe me is the most melodramatic, or theatrical object of all the piece. It is a fake. Yes.. is it a protection.. an icon of your tender emotional sensibility. You prefer to show yourself like a methodic and sort of mechanical emotional being… in order to protect your demands. I this way the souls that may reach you, will not beleive that you are let’s say, Easily captured? / -Rosa Cobos And what I was thinking myself, well basically like a lot of my work its a self portrait. Particularly my brain and heart. I never draw a brain without eyeballs for two reasons. They’re technically part of the brain and I think they’re cool. / The hornets’ nest represents the rational multitasking side and the hamster represents my single minded creative side. / I really wanted to draw a real looking human heart but decided it’d be too hard to get right. A clockwork one was the second option. I butchered an old printer to get some cogs to draw around as there was no way I was going to draw cogs freehand and get them to look right. I wasn’t about to get into pitch circle diameters (pain in the arse) and stuff / I have incorporated human style heart valves into this design. / The objects in the background are symbols of my past and will remain unnamed. / Its from a drawing I did in an old notebook round the 2002 mark. I spent as much time erasing as I did laying stuff down to keep the white clean. You have to mind your tonal range when you’re working with pencil. I think that’s it more or less.
