Is what I'm thinking, but maybe that's because I recently watched Pacific Rim. :)



Good to see you working on a new Abstract!

I know you probably can't use a brand but I am very much reminded of those old commercials when I see this.

Shaping up very nicely -- I really like this so far.

Seems that way to me, at least. Not in a bad way, of course.

That's the first thing I said when I saw this.

I don't know what it is, and frankly don't really care. It looks AWESOME.

I like the structure of this piece...and where it seems to be going. If it stays abstract, I wouldn't do much more; however, if it's to become something more specific, I can imagine this to be a view of the bowels of some mega-city! ...not to influence you, of course. ;-)



Love your work, Ryan! Keep 'em coming!

This work in progree is AWESOME. I can't wait for the big reveal. I'm saving a spot in the rotation for this one!

This looks VERY interesting. Can't wait to see the finished version (and the multiscreen for my desktop).

I agree with Tyler (and others too, I'm sure). Watching each work develop adds to the "coolness factor" of DB. Thanks for allowing us to watch! I'm sure it's not easy having comments come raining in as you develop each piece.

I love this piece but really wanted to comment on the Work in Progress feature you provide your members. The ability to see the art while in construction is an amazing concept. What has always drawn me to DB is not just the quality of the art but overall the transparency and participation element of Mr. Bliss. I hope DB continues for many years to come and many more people are made aware of its beauty.

I absolutely love these pieces (like "Orthohedron" and others) which could represent some type of structure (the scale of which is ambiguous - anywhere from millimeters to miles across) or they can be appreciated as an "abstract." (The impression of water at the lowest point is great). Love it!

I think he would approve. Big fan of abstract. I like the architectural feel. I'll tweak the colors on my own desktop, but I always do that. Request for a black and white version with just one other color throughout. I think that would really be an eye catching pickle jar version. A "night time" version would be cool and rather original for abstract.

Great! It's time for a new abstract. I love the preview window so we can see your renders from conception to completion. It keeps me dropping by every day or so.

Totally reminds me of the end scenes for FF13 and FF13-2. Love it!

Cool! .

I haven't seen something like this from you in ages, but I really like it where it is now! Your space scenes are incredible, your nature scenes (Highlander particularly) have my friends asking where I took the picture (snicker!), and this is proof that you can do it all, since you can make straight lines and right angles look great.

It's been awhile since I've seen one of these.

Something about it...density of the stars maybe, looks like a purposeful rain of fire rather than a celestial event. Something about the upper left edge of the star cluster...

..liking it so far, Ryan. I suppose you've alreay tried various other colour (brit spelling, sorry) options, as the effect is quite often a surprising changed (but you already know this)... Thumbs up from this end!

I was going to comment on a new pickle jar variate, and was greeted by this sweet image after logging in. I cannot wait to see the final product. This is one awesome picture. I love the "fire rain" but I suppose it could be a huge downfall from fireworks. Either way it is an impressive image.

I actually like the people, but they are so far down in the frame that they are blocked by the windows taskbar if I put it as my wallpaper.

It's good but I feel like it's repetitive compared to your previous works. Don't be afraid to break out new concepts. I suggested treehouses, such as a secluded village of exotic looking treehouses in the middle of a rainforest, or something.

So far so good it's so pretty Absolutely Love it can't wait to see the final product

I had a dream like this once, but at the end of it, everybody died. That being said, it looks like these folks are just waiting for it to end, but at least they are together.

The first word out of my mouth when I saw the work in progress was "COOOOOOOL" :) I love the engraving. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Very pretty, might be overdoing it a bit on the meteor shower. But as you said the title will explain, I'll reserve judgement. :)

"It full of stars!" It doesn't need people in it to experience the wonder, I do agree with others on that.

Love it a tad more sliver from the sky would be cool, would make a good mix sliver and gold.

It looks great. I actually like having the people in this one. I look forward to finding out what is actually falling from the sky. If they were fireworks I would expect their to be more of a pattern/design to them falling. There seem to be quite a few of them for it to be a meteor shower too. Thus, my current conclusion is that it must be the flaming shrapnel remains from an exploding Death Star falling on the nearest planet.

I love it! I'll totally love the one you do in purple shades! (purple is always better than red in my opinion!)

I think Joe should just do the griping, since he seems to agree with the sentiment ;) But yes, I would be happiest if the humans were replaced with a curious animal of some sort. People aside, I love it. Exciting.

I didn't know what to expect after your comment this morning, but I like this a lot.

Although your meteor (or whatever... sparks?... fireworks?) density may be a bit high. I predict someone gripes about the people, though. Someone always does.

My first reaction was "Shiny!"



Reminds me of Tears From Heaven (2010).

...or the worlds largest "oops" moment happened offscren. Good work so far.
