digital art: “hot lair balloon”

hot lair balloon

This one all started with me messing around with various trees and root images. I’ve had this hot air balloon image in one or two other pieces, but otherwise have not used it much. But I wanted something interesting sprouting out of the roots with some vertical motion. Using a normal balloon image wasn’t quite right, but this hot air balloon really hit the mark for me. I still don’t love the name, so I’ll change it if I come up with something better.

Overall, I prefer the green, grey and black color treatment, but I did end up with some other color variations I liked as well (all included below).

digital art: “the foist green organic”

I decided to come back to some of the shapes I used in “neural net zero” but to recast them in a different way and new color scheme. This also combines some of the “grey and green” stuff I created a while back when I first got started.

Oh and the name is definitely a play on some of the lyrics from Phish’s “Lawn Boy” (and also partially inspired by the rest of the song, you know, “I can smell the colors”,”olfactory hues,” etc…).

While I like the way this came out with all green hues, I made a few other variations I like below.
