Intars' gallery

Great game, makes you philosophically comprehend a concept of strategy.

One newly made verve-painting (today) that i would like to describe as a "twisted interface".

I'm not going to take offense!
In combination with the disk I somehow have to think of some old Amiga game or so... was there something like Populous, which had a giant in it? Oddly rings a bell...

Although naming of this verve-painting might (hadn't even realized so) persuade to think there is some 'signaling' about verve-painter UI, there is actually 0 / absolutely no embedded 'hidden' commentary or references to its UI.

In reality I was in one art gallery that day, saw abstract art and decided that, once at home, I should try bring out of a verve painting session my own abstract art of some form. At first I thought I will mix something 'Egyptic' with something surrealy-geometric but instead of Anubis and geometry I drifted towards some undecided generic figure seemingly trying to access / explore some kind of dimensions (or something). So, I thought that image shows some entity exploring or hacking or being disoriented by an abstract interface, leading to some data black hole and simply named drawing along this line of thought. Don't know why I decided to add a floppy disk element to the drawing.

All in all, couldn't resist and escape computer theme this time also.

Verve-painter UI is totally cool!
Dont' touch it and don't make it similar to other painting softwares UIs! Noooooo ! (Here I mean only classical verve-painter and not a Vervete derivative)

My few finished new verve-paintings - this one on a continuation of chess and computers theme. In the very
first days of April I happened to be in one local art gallery, saw bunch of abstract arts and under influence
couldn't resist creating one of my own once returned back home and sat at my computer to do some work.

Stylized environment painting (after some reading studies of Latvian art painter Hilda Vika works [1897-1963]).

I had some luck to capture some part of my dramatic dream (from morning of 7th April). It was totally surreal, nightmare forced a vision of
an extreme and unreal natural & supernatural disaster while at the same time forcing to feel as if this was the best and safest place.
(Technically this is 97% verve painter with only some very slight light and contrast tune-up and signature in Gimp)

In a nightmare beyond the horizon was 'simulated' an enormous approaching tsunami-like water mass but that I didn't manage to draw out
properly to my satisfaction and without breaking the image (because painting a water in a darkness is not such an easy task).

Certainly an interesting challenge. Just to figure out what kind of lighting and environment could make a tsunami in the dark dramatic looking.
It sure looks like bad weather, though, hehehe.
