Geometric Artwork

Migrated topic.
Got full membership, yaaay !

Im going to buy some basic tools today, to do some training first.

I like Photoshop to make photomanipulations but I want to draw some sacred geometry, and photoshop cant do that for me ( it can, but I dont like it ! :D )

So like I said, see you in the art bin.

PS: There are more of my works on deviantart, most of them pretty old :)

Bless.
 
Ok. So there are some things, I would like to point out about the Egyptian mandala I made above. I tried to incorporate a handful of features from my Egyptian visions. First of all you might take note of the male lions in the upper corners. I've seen lions on several occasions in Egyptian themed experiences, and thought they deserved to be incorporated. As a sort of cryptic esoteric Egyptian-style touch, the lions are inclined at the angle of the Great Pyramid. ;) The lioness goddesses in the bottom corners are Sekhmet, the wife of Thoth.

The pairs of faces that form the five pointed star in the center come from my old avatar of the goddess Nuit taken from the ceiling at Hathor's Temple at Dendera. Her headdress is the bricks going around the outside. What I like about this element of the mandala is that each face shares an eye. I feel such features to be common about the DMT experience, and is symbolic to me.

Turquoise and gold are hallmarks of a lot of my more recent Egyptian experiences. As soon as I see turquoise and sandy gold, I know the direction I'm heading. It's a very beautiful combination, and the Egyptians as I have since learned revered turquoise as being sacred. Between it showing up in my visions, and their extravagant use of it in sacred jewelry and whatnot, I'm very much inclined to believe there is something significant about turquoise. The RadioLab guys in their discussion of colors talk about how all early civilizations seemed to discover the color blue later than all the other colors, and this was pretty uniform across the board. When it was looked into when the word "blue" popped up in each individual language, it was always the last color to be added to their vocabularies. They theorized this was because the color blue (not counting the sky - and they go into great detail about the "blue sky" ) is not found in nature very often, and therefore it would be hard to make blue pigments to use as paints and whatnot. Even blue flowers tend to be modern human creations of hybridizing species. The one exception to this was the Egyptians, and it was theorized the reason they were the exception was because of their early use of turquoise.

So yeah. those are some things I thought I would point out for now :thumb_up:

On second thought, here's my Egyptian mandala, freshly finished. I was planning on taking it, drawing the layers out, and then redigitizing everything, but I think this might suffice for itself.

Like the Egyptians, I tried to stack this image full of as much meaning as possible (lots of it personal, based on prior Egyptian visions). However, before I over-stimulate your left brains with my linguistic interpretation, I welcome your right brains so soak it in.


This is great while high on cannabis before going to bed one day, i had similar mandala visuals like this one.
 
Today, I decided to take 3 of the mandalas I made based on the original drawing, and creating one great holographic mandala of all of them. Enjoy!

Oooh beautiful! I really dig the the translucence it has. Colors mix great with it and the patterns have an interestingly subtle depth to them. All I know is I'm sucked in :)

Lovely work in here Global!
 
Nice Globs...very nice :thumb_up:

I'd like to see a version with boosted contrast and saturation...punch it in the face with photoshop and see how it spins....:d
 
Oh man, that picture just abut sent me into hyperspace. I don't think I've seen an image that so closely matches my DMT experiences. Seriously, it gave me butterflies, like preflight jitters when I first looked at it.
 
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Mr.Peabody. I'm glad I could capture that essence. I believe it is a combination of factors that contribute to the main overall effect, and they include the fact that I used 3 symmetrical mandalas that all arose from the same set of geometries (the initial drawing), and that the initial drawing itself was made of sacred geometries probably lends a big helping hand in everything fitting together like lock and key. The very thin-appearing layering around the edges definitely rings of the DMT hologram aesthetic, and some of the objects.

I feel that this is how a lot of hyperspace multidimensional geometry works so well (or at least contributes to the effect) is because a lot of it stems from the same building blocks - the same basic sets of geometries and as a result, you can get some incredible holographic phase relationships which can be just tantalizing.
 
I'm fond of this permutation as well

Yeah, very holographic looking. I like all the small scale subtle detail... Reminds me of the kinds of faint geometric overlays you see on everything when you're on a moderate LSD dose. Not your typical rainbow color scheme either. Is there a significance behind the 7-based symmetry?

Edit: I wore that before you posted the new one... Love it, very crystalline, like an explosion of fractal gems
 
Great work, Global! :thumb_up: These last paintings matches pretty close with what i see during coming up of the trip. Gigantic geometric kaleidoscopic rotating 3d vortexes which is basically gates to the hyperspace.:)

The best things come in 7's eh Guy? To be honest, it was entirely subconscious. I was observing the symmetry, but in that case, I wasn't counting points or anything like that. I didn't notice the 7-based symmetry till you pointed it out.

Cool. Now if only I can apply some of these geometric techniques to creating an eidetic form (i.e. not just a mandala or web of patterns), but a conglomeration of patterns that create something specific (i.e. a human form)
