Whew - browser pooped out just as I submitted this but it wasn't lost, yeay :).

Sweetcell (Jan 19, 2007)

You reaaaally want that car dontcha? *must....turn....away*

Kloxboy (Jan 19, 2007)

That's fantastic. You keep it up, you're fun to watch, you seem to be progressing.

Naima (Jan 19, 2007)

Yes, I really do want that car... XD

And thanks, Klox! I'm trying to push the complexity... Well, sometimes - have to give the eyes a break on occasion :D

Tinkering

Naima (Jan 18, 2007)

Just messing around. This one turned out to be rather obnoxious to look at, sorry *laugh*

Excellent patterns. I'd love to do a collab with you someday, my insanity meets your patterns, might be cool.

Naima (edited Jan 18, 2007)

Thanks, Klox! And wow, that would be interesting - your work is so textured and 3-D, who knows what we'd end up with? Would likely be quite a challenge for me (you can tell I'm a flat surface slave), but I agree that the result could be really cool. Hmmm... *rubs hands together*

Naima (Jan 14, 2007)

Still sticking with simple geometry, but branching out from patterns... That was fun :).

Safety save - about to start mucking about with the colors. I think it lost something from v1 to v2. Going to see if I can get it back...

Went a bit more pink than I was going for :P. But I can take it *laugh*. Might add one more detail...

OK, that's it. Not too cocnsistent with the gradient work, but I'm outta time. Gotta go!

Couldn't stand it - went back to fix it up a little bit... Blimey, I notice that you can't even tell the difference. Man, it's rough to fix gradient boo-boo's after the fact...

Glow

Naima (Dec 30, 2006)

Messing around with 3-D (inspired by Yates!) and playing with the gradient tool - three cheers for the gradient tool :) :). Nice to be back - couldn't find time to draw for the last few days...

Naima (Jan 12, 2007)

Thanks, DJ! :)

More fun with patterns

Naima (Jan 6, 2007)

Turning into something totally different from what I'd planned - but I like it :)

*Laugh* - I'd love a car, Sweetcell! Acura TL, ok? I've had my eye on those for a while...

Many thanks, all! :-D

Sweetcell (Jan 7, 2007)

*wakes up* What was I saying? *stares* _{you want to buy Naima a car}

Where's my nearest car dealership?

Naima (Jan 8, 2007)

*Laugh* You're hilarious!
*Rubs chin, purses lips, hums thoughtfully*
*Wonders what other lucrative subliminal message could be included in next pattern...*
*Waggles eyebrows*

Sweetcell (Jan 8, 2007)

LOL..... imagine using these with your boss when you want a raise. :D

Lattice

Naima (Dec 31, 2006)

Blimey. Didn't go anywhere near where I wanted it to... Tired of fussing with it, though :P~.

That's really cool, love the gradient. Beautiful work. :)

Abed (Dec 31, 2006)

Excellent, beautiful palette, fantastic use of geometry and consistent repetition of pattern.

Kulu (Jan 1, 2007)

Naima (Jan 2, 2007)

Thanks, guys :-D

Kloxboy (Dec 30, 2006)

That's great, diggin the gradient. Hope you do more like this.

Naima (Dec 30, 2006)

Thanks, Kloxboy :). I certainly will, I'm a pattern junky... I can't draw realistic people/things to save my life, so I'll stick to what I know for a while :P~. Hope to learn a lot from browsing around this site - holy poop, can't believe the things so many of you guys have produced here!

Punky (Dec 31, 2006)

:O
Looks super swanky. I'd like this pattern on like, a lamp or something.

Naima (Dec 31, 2006)

Thanks, Punky :-D. It makes me think of those old abstract patterns they used to put on trapper keepers, too ;).

My eyes aren't twisting. D:

Naima (edited Dec 30, 2006)

Doh! Will have to try something else, then...

Kloxboy (edited Dec 30, 2006)

It's amazing how much work like this goes for, the originals I mean. This piece is selling for over a quarter million: Victor Vasarely painting And that's a low-ball price.

And it's interesting how in your piece, the thumbnail shows 4 squares and forms a cross. oO

Naima (edited Dec 30, 2006)

Yowzer! That is amazing - is the price so high because he is a well known artist? I'll have to go look into that... *jaw still hanging open*

Hadn't noticed that about the thumbnail - funny :)
