Practicing textures. When I've got about 50 I'll compile them into a video which keeps zooming in on the details, to use in music visuals (VJing), but thats another story.

Wow, sounds like a neat project, look forward to seeing how it plays out...Good luck!

I had some awesome fun working on the textured surfaces here;

Layed down a few random photos over the top of each other (a picture of the moon europa, an electron microscope image of a dust mites carapace, and a stone texture) and then drew in highlights and lines over the top.

Its part of an album cover I'm doing.

I'd love to do 2d backgrounds and scenes for oldschool games.

oh shit that is cool... nice one asylum! Thats desktop material right there.

[Ged]

wow yeah this is going into classical painting surreal territory now.

[AsylumSeaker]

It is a bit of a tangent from 3d / games design world I'll admit. But people give great feedback around here.
I'd love to do some kind of flash game utilizing images like this though. I could separate the different layers of that cell image and have them increase size at accelerating rates, giving the image of traveling into the center. Then I could make a spaceship in the foreground, facing towards the cell and have enemies like viruses or something coming towards the screen.
I could keep adding more layers the closer into the center the screen gets, infinitely.
The sequence further up the thread took roughly a month to complete, during lunchbreaks at work. If I put enough time in.. I could create hours of flythrough material. Psychedelic space invaders from hell!

Heres the finished video for that sequence if anyones interested;
