Art of Movement

So, back to DisaFear's self-piteous and boastful blog entries XD

A skill that I admire in anyone is grace.

The art of movement.

Fluid movement.

I love this so much. Effortlessly negotiating crowds. Terrific footwork to swivel. Leaping off stairs to land gracefully at the bottom. Radiating confidence. Radiating aura. Reflexes. Reacting to changes in the environment instantaneously. Constant vigilance (Harry Potter! Remember it? XD )

I don't know what made me so interested in fluid movement. Then there's parkour and free-running, love those. All beautiful. Maybe its all those thriller books I read. Or the video games? Dishonoured? Gosh. You guys are thinking I am crazy :D

(I am by the way :D )

Even ballet interests me now, with its awesome footwork. Sports as well, like badminton, tennis, etc, all have terrific footwork to go with them

There are many things of beauty in this world. And I think 'graceful movement' is one of them. And I will become a master of it one day XD

LOL. Look at me, babbling such nonsense. :D

Found a wonderful piece today, titled Taking Control by MildlyReactive

The colours are just AMAZING! I don't know what else to say. You guys surely know me well by now, I loooove city scenes. The urban scene. Just gets me all excited :D Love this so much!

Lost in Space

Hot day today D: You know how I hate hot days :(
Can't do anything fun on a hot day. I sweat too much :(

Slowly recovering from the traps of my mind. It will take a while. But everything does. Who knows what the future holds.

Still unsuccessful in finding a job! Zomg. Why won't you hire poor uni students? :( Maybe I can find a job as a labourer. Get all fit at the same time :D

On top of that, my bike tyre seems to have popped. There goes my whole fitness schedule D;

At least I have a nice dinner to look forward to tomorrow night in the city :)

Been reading more Matthew Reilly books lately, he is so amazing. Definitely one of my favourite Australian authors. If anyone even reads these, go check him out! Just finished Area 7 for the 6-7th time, it is still as pro as ever

Going to try and read The Hunger Games next, see if it is as good as everyone says it is :)

Here is a spectacular piece, Hummingbird by radoxist

No words needed. It. Is. Just. Beautiful. :)

Raining Rubbish

Society is getting more and more vulgar. It seems very very acceptable to swear and be rude to others these days. At the top of their voices. On the train. In the future, it'll probably be normal :/

A pleasant rainy day today, with a nice touch of thunder :D Would love to be snuggled in bed, hearing the rain-drops fall. But exams :O Feeling sort of ready...sort of

And today was Melbourne Cup Day! The day when people fork out thousands of dollars just to look stupid and think they are a big piece of cheese in a little world. Gosh. Use your money on something more productive.

People these days D;

Fitting in with the cloudy weather, today's piece is Assassin's Guide by jcbarquet

The colour is beauuuutttiiiifullll <3 I particualrly love the tinge on the windows, nice teal glow. The sky is perfect, the birds roaming in the sky a brilliant touch. The reflections of the windows on the water are wonderfully done. Pristine image, very very good. :D

Superpowers

This morning, I had a super-headache. I occasionally have these. And I cannot get out of bed :(
Nooo, this close to exams too! Whyyy? D:

Aldehyde plus alcohol? Hemi-acetal! Yay!

Check this out! So good! The melody of the night by Leonidafremov

This painter has a wicked palette of colour! So vibrant! So happy! So beautiful :D
Everything has perfect shades. The reflections are wicked. The image itself, and the message it presents, its so cute :D

Damn. So gooooood.

Scenes of the Future

Here is a wonderful view from the top of the Menzies building at Monash University that I took this morning

So beautiful :D

And today was the last day of Uni for this year. Ah, twas a good time. Certainly made a lot of good friends. Enjoyed the content. Looking forward to next year!

Today, we have a most magnificent piece. Here is Deep by Aegis-Strife

I don't know what to say :D The background marvelously compliments the main image, the man with his head on fire. What a creative idea. Wish I was that awesome :D Ten out of ten.

Sequences

So, we're studying Series and Sequences in mathematics right now.

Wow, so confusing! :O And it'll just get more and more abstract as the years go on :(

Today's wonderful piece is Light into Dark by dementeddiva23

Hauntingly beautiful. There's a simplicity to this image, an innocence, I can't find the words for it :D
For some reason, reminds me of Portal 2!

Experimentation

Another day, another newspaper, and more disparaging news about celebrities. Alright, normal people make mistakes, yes, but celebrities like to do it on grander scales. Usually involving thousands of dollars, drugs and other stuff. Why? Why can't you dopes be peaceful, upstanding citizens when everyone else can? Is it the money?

Worthless hunks.

Anyways, let us return to the wonderful world of surreal art. Here is The Demon of Venice by borda

There is just so much going on in that image, all meshed beautifully, in a way that makes sense, that feels right. This type of art, as I mentioned sometime before, leaves the interpretation all up to the viewer.

How do I interpret it?

I don't even know! :D

Until next time

Skipper

Do you read this? I bet you don't :(
If only I could say it to you now...

Anyways.

Here is Shadowgate by ChrisCold

I mention atmosphere again and again. But it is really important, and this image has a beautiful atmosphere. The colours are wonderful too - the sunset or thingy in the back is beautiful. Not to mention the actual 'shadowgate' - masterfully executed. The red cape of our humble warrior is pro too, the direction is sways in perfect.

10/10! :D

Humble

I always used to tell people "Look at those below you, not at those higher than you, and be grateful!"

But it seems like I am a hypocrite :(

Maybe that's just my tiredness speaking. Meaning I can't babble on about todays art piece, as I like to

Here is a beautiful image, titled Environment Sketch - With Layers by k04sk

 Reminds me of DM-Peak from Unreal Tournament 99. Such creativity! XD

Enjoy

Speed of light

Oh, that feeling when someone is walking extremely slow, or standing in the middle of a doorway/staricase, urgh! Need a good thump to send them to their destination. Not all of mankind has time for their dallying. Ah, one of these days, their phone is going to fall when they bump into a pole, or I blitz past them. And then I will laugh. :D

(so cruel, I am)

Speaking of phones...train passes a crowded station. What do you see? Phones. People on phones. People, heads bent, poking at their phone. Is this what the future consists of?

Really?

Behold the future, when people will shrivel up due to lack of physical activities, when people will be obsessed with maintaining their 'Internet cred'

Ah, poor future generations. Never know what's gonna hit ya

Anywho.

Let us return to the alleyways, those places that everyone loves :'D

And here is Dangerous Alleyway by atomahawk

Ah, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside! The colour range is spectacular, cities at night-time look spectacular <3 The water covering the ground, and the reflections, are perfect. The lighting is immaculate, the smoke effect stunning. Such beauty. Makes me want to take a nice stroll  through there with someone in hand, enjoying the breath-taking scenery (yes, I consider this alleyway 'scenery' XD )

Who wants to visit an alleyway with me!? D;

Hemi-finished being

6 hours straight of classes can be harsh indeed! But I won a prize in class! XD

Also, late trains and drunk people are the bane of mankind D;

Let us return to the dark and grim places of the city. May I present, the Alley by SimonWeaner

What a beautiful scene! The downpour, how refreshing! (As you may know, I love rain)
What is happening in this image? We see the fires in the building, something unusual on a rainy day. Then we notice the man, hiding, body tense and coiled, vigilant, ready to strike. Is he up to mischief? Or is he the victim?
We can only speculate!

And catch the glimpses of the beautiful city in the background, looming mightily and proud.

:D

The year...is 2027

Ever wondered what cities will look like in the future? When...the population soars...the only way is up! There are many video games out there that let you explore future worlds, with beautiful cities. Take a look at Heng Sha in the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution - whoa dude, step back! That scene is just breath-taking!

And you can explore that city! Even the sewers!

Reminds me of this, really

 

The Arch by MacRebisz possesses that architecture telling you 'up is the only way to go, son'. Really loving the look of that flying transport - if that city is as big as I think it as, we'd sure need it!

The colours on the buildings are phenomenal. The reds and blues really complement each other well. The yellowish atmosphere is similar to that of Heng Sha from Deus Ex, an ambient glow of beauty.

We are going to needs lots of electricity, yes...

Forests of Silence

Once, long ago, I had a dream about a serial-killer in a forest, who ate children. (I swear I'm normal!)
I don't know why I bring it up now, maybe this spectacular image invoked some emotion in me.

God of the Forest by noah-kh left me gaping for quite a while :O It is so wonderfully detailed; just look at the foilage! The shading and tones are marvellous, the water (or spider-webs?) on the right are coloured perfectly.  The overall lighting in this image is mind-blowing, its so ambient, peaceful and giggle-worthy :3
The colours on the nice-looking monster :D are nice, really digging the bits of blue in this image.

I'd very much like to visit a forest one day!

Highway Rolling

Sorry for people who aren't fond of space-related images, but they are so pretty! :3

May I present, Space Highway by Alienphysique

The scene is so mouth-watering. The colour range in the image is spectacular; I really love the reddish glow emanating from behind the planet. I can't imagine it in any other colour. The 'highway' is so detailed and cute too :3 And the stars are there in the background, ever-present but taken for granted. This image is enough to send shivers; who knows if the future will look as pretty as this?

Or will it...?

City Beats

I don't know what it is, but I love pictures of the city! Is it the tall buildings? The pretty lights? The elegant design? No clue. But I love the city! :D Pictures of cities like Tokyo and Seoul just set my heart racing.

 

A perfect example of what I was talking about, in Metro 3080 by kingjamesuk. The colour range and lighting is spectacular, the scene worthy to make any sci-fi fan drool in hunger. The buildings look so sophisticated and elegant, the detail extravagant. Totally would love to live in such a place

Let's hope it happens sometime in the near future!

Mad-Eye Moony

There was a full moon out last night, in all its glory. Taking a stroll at night as I always do, you could see the clouds around it whizzing about, a faint circular rainbow visible around the moon, the stars scattered like...yea, ok, forget that, I'm bad at this XD
The moon is such a beautiful companion. Dim enough to get your rest at night, but bright enough for navigation.

No, the moon does not speak, sorry.

In Confessions to the Moon by leocervas, the moon steals the centre of attention for itself, in all its cratered glory. The colours in the piece are brilliant, although, to me, the lighting on the eagle, rabbit and dog look a bit off. I'd love to sit on a swing at night ^_^

Would you?

Reign of Rain

When it rains in Melbourne, it really does rain! I love rain! Nothing better than a good run through the rain. So refreshing.

So let us begin today with Drifted by korbox

The mood and lighting in this image is perfect. I really wish I could do stuff like that, the lighting is just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That soft mist, brilliant. I love the colours used in the image, especially those of the bright street lights that contrast well with the more morbid blue-grey of the background. The rain is perfect, almost as if korbox used a mathematical formula to direct its placement :D The city in the background is also gorgeous.

That is like the worst appraisal of art ever. Ever.

Definitely go check out his deviantART page, he has some amazing works. Some of them will definitely be popping up here from time to time

Until next time!
