Strange, Weird and Fetish Computer Art Gallery

this is a classic example of not knowing when to quit LOL. here is my original crystal skull render: VooDoo Glow Skull, rendered in Bryce. i really liked the colors so i just kept fiddling and mashing on buttons till i came up with variations upon variations of images you'd never guess were related!

this image was eventually used to illustrate the Persephone's Dream song Hyperspace Minefields, on their Oppostion CD.

it is really amazing what you can do with a fresh pot of coffee, a bit of nervous energy twitching and a Wacom graphics tablet. LOL

i bet you'd never have been able to guess that this 'fish head' is a direct derivitave of the original VooDoo Glow Skull image. ha! we ran the image through a polar coordinate translation and then enhanced what we saw, which was the gaping maw of a huge fish-like creature. the 'humanoid' figure inside could be either a person or, like the angler fish, a lure to entice unsuspecting creatures to come investigate the 'body'.

ok so this one is obviously the image with a 'lead glass' like overlay. an interesting tidbit about the pattern of the 'lead' is that it's a fractal! cool, huh?
