Holy Cow!what stunning image-makes me smile
I don’t know why-it is just so cool to look
at-to see artwork of this quality.What the heck is robo talking about-it was Phillatio
in shakespeare.

I really like the way this turned out. You folks never fail in amazing me at what can be done with this great program. I will never get good at it, because I just do not have the required patience. Felicitacions :+1: :+1: :+1: and all those other good stuff.

thank you, beautiful people.
I think robo meant “fellatio” might be considered an “immoral” word (not that words have the capacity for morality or feeling -my comment).
actually, the purpose of the title is to shock, true to the ideals of the surrealist movement.

The joy of salmon? It’s a very provocative image, mostly for its visual beauty. I really like red and yellow together and this is just an awesome composition. We Americans are a puritanical bunch, but it’s hard to shock me though. I am the son of an artist, a denizen of New York City, and a child of the 60s. The most shocking thing here is how real that fish looks and how well it works in this image :cool:

=D Zoid! glad to meet my first liberally-minded american (just joking! have you met any greek people???)

the fact remains that you are a minority, the whole world over, my friend

#11

Great modeling and textures :+1: :+1: :+1:

Wow, Excellent surrealism! :+1: :+1: :+1:

#13

thank you, ppl.
to tell the truth, there has been no model texturing on this pic. every model was build in a separate layer, and was then appropriately painted on using 2.5D brushes =D

Pix, TextureMaster rules, but the rest of the program deserves the attention too =D

Cneofotistos, My jaw hit the floor when I saw ths image! Very interesting image and one that I truly like!!! :+1:

#15

Superb work, Chris! Every time you post a new image, it is a masterpiece in its own right, and this one is no exception. I think you’ve captured the Dali style quite well.

The coloring is excellent, the modeling superb, and the overall composition is so intriguing that I can’t help looking at it over and over again. It’s one of those rare pieces where you’re not sure what exactly is so fascinating about it, but it is fascinating just the same.

I love it!

I would have to say this would be close to Dali’s “Transitional Period” beginning in mid 1927 and continuing throughout 1928.

Although one could even nob toward his “Surreal Period” reminiscent of his favorite piece, “The Weaning of Furniture - Nutrition” 1934 I reference this piece due to the fact the “Weaning” held so much meaning and hidden messages expressive of his childhood.

I wonder C, if “Fellatio-Fish Planted In A Bowl of Water” would be your expression of birth into manhood??

I do note that unlike Dali you make no interaction with the background whether by shadow or content.

Smart ass comment deleted.

thank you, friends.
I did not particularly wish to mimick Dali on this one. it’s just that, I’m a surrealist by belief, which means,in your personal art you paint what your subconscious dictates. and when it comes to a natural surrealistic concept, Dali has probably covered most of the technique you can use…

Kathy> I never, EVER, with any sexual partner particularly thought about fellatio as making a man out of me. the title sprang to mind along with the composition, and I preserved it, given that the surrealists are prone to shocking the society. a known fact about Dali, for example, is that he gave lectures in French universities, with his right naked foot in a bowl of milk.

I wouldn’t like to mess with my unconscious and ask it for explanations =D

again, thank you all for the warm embrace of a mediocre work of art(?)

#19

True about the milk.

But that’s not as cool as Hundertwasser giving naked speeches with naked chics standing around him. Remember?

Back in Munich, 1967 His nude speeches about rationalism in architecture?

Too cool. :cool:

#20

sure. history of art is something I hate, on the grounds of being so much more boring than art itself, but such anecdotes tend to stay hooked on my memory =D

#21

Without history there is no known motive. Without an MO, what was the artist attempting to say?

It’s Integral to the appreciation of any artist’s work. (my opinion of course) But, every artist reacts to his/her surroundings, political environment, and economic stature. So, without that person’s history, one would lose some appreciation of the true intent laid to canvas outside of our eyesight.

Example, Egyptian tombs. Their paintings could be intrepeted as “gee that’s nice”

But they not only differentiate the entombed, they segment his/her artist (hired artisan). The wealthier the dead; the better more replete the art.

Dali, of course was apolitical, which got him kicked out of the surrealists group. The war spawned his attitude.

The war also caused him to flee to the US (for 8 years between '40 and '48) where he had his 1941 retrospect at Museum of Modern Art in New York. That wouldn’t have happened without the war. (or we can assume so). So the history is vital to the art. :wink:

And now, I shall shut my opinionated mouth. And just say,

Dude, your fish in water Rocks! (and it does) :+1:

#22

Hello Christos,

:+1: :+1: great image :+1: :+1:

Well suited to be labeled surrealism - a movement I’ve always enjoyed :smiley:

A few areas I particularly like; The fish is great as well as the large drop of water, poised to fall from . . . . . your saddle?
Technically I really like the surface of the water as well as the enlargement and distortion of the tail as if caused by the refraction of the water!

All in All

Mediocre? Mediocre? :confused: :confused:
Are you nuts? It’s simplistically exquisite! I’ve got to dash off now to Renderosity to give this a ten! This is one of my new favorites. :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
