Here a new piece, while bored in class


Is that a book? If so its really neat.

This is an Amapola Flower, it was my grandmother's favorite (grandmother from my father's side). Abuela Carmin loved them.

Mirror21 - I really liked the painting of the bird and the one with the spider (at least that's what it looks like to me), I think it was called Queen. I like the simplicity and the colours.

Omega26 - I had a quick peek at your deviant art page. My favourite is the painting of Florence. It has this somewhat childlike quality, which makes it seem a little magical. Like it's not just a city but a place of the imagination. It gives the place another layer of character outside what it normally has. Does that make sense? I don't mean childlike as an insult either.

Have you been to Florence? If not would you like to go?

Here's about the millionth attempt to upload on my paintings...fingers crossed it works.

I did it! Yay! Love to know what you think...

This is my visual representation of evil. If you're Christian, you could call this a depiction of Satan.

Most artists have tended to represent evil as monstrous or seductive, but I for one believe that the scariest and most effective villains are the ones who don't give off any such ostensible signs of their evilness but instead masquerade as good. They're the people who trick you into sympathizing with their cause and so can accomplish more than villains who flaunt their wickedness for everyone to see. To name only one example, they may be power-hungry politicians who give lip service to ideals like liberty, equality, or law and order. For this reason I decided to represent evil as a cute, chibi-looking purple fairy. Although the purple skin color and lack of facial features was intended to make her ethnically nondescript, I made evil feminine to play with the chivalric stereotype of women as naturally nurturing and innocent (a stereotype which has ironically served to justify patriarchy that kept women in the home with the kids).


I know you dislike anime, but I couldn't help thinking of Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica when I read the description of this character. Kyubey's whole character revolves around that concept.

Alice: Thank you very much and yes it was a spider. I have gotten a desire for drawing with simple lines in dark backgrounds a lot lately, but I am trying also to continue with my flower project (that is I like to draw flowers so I am trying not to leave that behind).

As for your painting, I absolutely love it.

Flowers are nice. I love old botanical drawings. What inspires you to paint flowers?

this is a picture of the fluid dynamics of various viscosity non combineable cohabiting fluids agitated by various sonic inputs calculated to skirt the resonant frequencies of all the various fluids involved (all theoretical fluids of my design) to produce an interference pattern that is interesting to look at.
i call this one "bamboozled"

Excellent as usual, b9, and I always enjoy looking at your images - "bamboozled" is extremely interesting.
Thanks for posting them.

I am not quite sure. I just really like foliage. Leafs and flowers and such. They have a lot of detail. Aside from flowers I like to draw bugs, birds, trees, and I do fan art from my fav video games.

great Pieces b9!

This is Humming Bird of Fire. Think of it as an animal totem.
