Further to the drawovers I did during Quicktober, I decided to experiment further by running a raffle on a stream and offer folks a chance to participate.

This one was an especially trippy background that offered a spatial element to it that was different to some of those I'd done in the past. While working on it on stream I even accidentally forgot about how intense the colours that I was working with were, but folks in the audience seemed split on which version was best, so I included both.

Very, very pleased with this one.

Ihddn asked me to split their reward slot in two, dedicating each half (~40 minutes) to making something based on a song they gave me. 

The first painting, inspired by Chevelle's "Jars," has a very grim feel to it, and tries to capture the lyrics in their entirety - somewhat literally in some cases. It resonated with me on the theme of the current state of our environment, though because the concept I had in mind was a bit too ambitious, I had to scale it back to finish in time.

The second, inspired by Starset's "Halo," was more simplistic and symbolic in its concept, look and feel. The music video also played a considerable part overall. I may have been too subtle with the contrast, but the colours play the greatest part in this piece.
