Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening Seemians! Whether you are on Earth or retrieving this signal from a the inner sphere of Andromeda - welcome!
"I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues
I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right
"I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'mma remain a soldier till the war is won"
~Boondocks by Asheru
Such a powerful song!
Ahhh. So, check this out.
What you are seeing is an earlier project I did to investigate the potential behind using a photograph as a base for a digitally painted scene - inspired by the message within the Boondocks theme.
Originally, this image was a macro photo of a rock against the sky near the Columbia River. The majority of the picture is completely different. The black in the foreground is the rock, and the background has been smeared to look like clouds... and those mountains definitely weren't there! The whole render was done in GIMP, too! So nothing really special needed for this one!
Something interesting, though. The motivation to be the greatest human being I can be is dreived from the potential I see in others. As human beings we are all the same - so as I am cast aside I can see I am the one who must improve. What greater feat than to be cast from the presence of gods, but only to one day surpass them.
If you like this kind of artwork dont forget to upvote and leave a comment. I have 20 or 30 pictures I have drawn, rendered, or otherwise created through the years and I plan on sharing them all so dont forget to follow, too!
