The blood of ghosts enlights my stare, reminding me of what is there and what is not and what is real; what is true, and what’s surreal.Tumblr (3.0;

2013. Sculptris, C4D. Photoshop.</strong></p> <p>This represents a small step towards more surreal direction with much less emphasis on realism and anatomically correct human figures. That has been my real obsession for many years, but I am now trying to shake off my … need to be realistic. I want to go more surreal and disturbing, and a lot of that doesn’t necessarily work well with realism.</p> <p>In the end I’d call this indirectly the most “Beksinski” esque painting I’ve ever done. Calling this piece a pure painting is a bit of a misnomer because it’s a sculpture that I then rendered and painted on top of in Photoshop. </p> <p>But it’s really the direction I want to go to, at least for a bit. So this is a start of a new series that I’ll call “The Forms of Madness” and it concentrates on me doing (digital) sculptures from scratch and then finishing them in Photoshop and posting them here. I’m also trying to go to (even) more surreal.</p> </blockquote>http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51108032558http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51108032558Wed, 22 May 2013 20:07:37 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/45bef8aeeb9b5e7ebfc717303e2011d8/tumblr_mn7wk08Csd1r4avmuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://staggerlee13367.tumblr.com/post/51093177255/war" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">staggerlee13367</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>WAR</p></blockquote>http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51108002852http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51108002852Wed, 22 May 2013 20:07:13 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf329812e067b0495e0c9adf54ca291f/tumblr_mmvp1q4CDb1rlmcwyo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51107948331http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51107948331Wed, 22 May 2013 20:06:28 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e3c3168ef0146259835dbf4e89911938/tumblr_mlu05abfyq1qasunuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bashman.tumblr.com/post/48881133513/longing-by-kingabrit" target="_blank">bashman</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Longing by Kingabrit</p> </blockquote>http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51107852271http://swallowingstatic.tumblr.com/post/51107852271Wed, 22 May 2013 20:05:09 -0400
