Painting with Pixels

Here's another one designed to be a desktop image. I like the relatively muted colors that I used for this one, which are a change from my usual sharp contrasts.

Even more fun with damaged gradients. This was also designed to be a desktop image.

Here's Blinky in flames. This is the full-sized version of the intro graphic on the main page, without the border. I still consider this to be my signature piece.

Welcome to R'Lyeh. The management accepts no resposibility for any insanity that you may suffer as a result of your stay.

I made this one to be a desktop background at work, where I have a black monitor. Somehow, it loses something on a beige one. Still, I think this one's nifty.

This is the first werewolf I drew with my Wacom Intuos graphics tablet. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet, but it promises to be nifty.

Here's a somewhat stylized jellyfish. I was experimenting with ways to get a sort of luminescent effect, and I figured there was no better subject matter for that sort of thing than jellyfish.

Here's another, even more stylized jellyfish. I eventually hope to combine the two different effects shown in these images into one.

These sorts of things remind me of the multi-ringed interface ports or locks in the Star Wars films. You know, the ones that R2-D2 fiddles with? Anyway, I get a sort of "door" impression from this, so I called it an airlock.

I made this to serve as a desktop image at work. The circular blobs and some of the line intersections correspond to the location of desktop icons on the screen.

I've made a lot of images like this, which I refer to as "Wheels." They vary in shape and texture/color, but this particular shape is one of my favorites. This one isn't very colorful, but I like the stone texture. One of my other hobbies is creating continuous, tiling images, and I tend to use them to create the consistant textures for these images.

Perhaps it doesn't really look like bronze, but I tend to title things whatever occurs to me at the time. This means that some titles make no sense to anyone but me. Actually, there are also times that I don't know what I was thinking either.

This is bit brighter than most of the other wheels I've created, but sometimes even I need a break from creating forbidding alien objects. It reminds me of wood that's been stained different colors, though it also feels a bit woven to me.

This one has a sinister feel to it despite the bright colors. The central rings in particular look very sharp, so this one ends up as "razors."

Here's one of my more complex wheels. This is an enduring favorite of mine, from a period during which I was making a lot of whirlpool-like images and gateways.
