The Blue King (Abstract/Surreal) digital artwork by Curtis Wiens
 
Artist's Comment
The base of this picture was a grey scale image I created in Artmatic. I could just see a glimmer of a creature that could be pulled out of it. so I brought it into PS and used the burn dodge and airbrush tools to make it into the image you see.

Beautiful piece with some mysterious undertones. Nice job.

Thanks guys for the comments. My intention was to create something that appears to be growing organically but is at least partially mechanized. I did think about softening some areas with a watery look but I liked the kind of microscopic look it had. It is a bit harsh but It had an intensity that I liked didn't want to loose. The eyes just needed to be there. I don't know why but it looked like an eyeless being without them. I agree they are bit haunting but I liked that too. Sort of like something that shouldn't be alive but is.

A Geiger-like quality to it. Perhaps its the texture colours and symmetry....(shrug). Just a thought (hope you dont mind) but did you think about adding cloud layers in photoshop? Perhaps overlay or screen. I really think that bumpy texture sells it.
