Far West Photomanipulation

It took me a while but I figured out a way for my style of artistry to create in photomanipulation. I create collages. In that way I am making all the elements to add to the photomanipulation in one page. I wrote a larger story but I didn't share it.

Dark Horse Ring

For the adoptables I have figured out to focus on items of jewelry. All my designs, and through suing stock I can give them added texture. I explain the item in the post.

The 16th Iq'o Ch'en 

Another item. This was for a pirate theme. I did great research on the maya. Take a look at the adoptables description.

Harvest Eternal complete

The Poem

:) for those who know

La Muerta Barbie

For the cursed costume Barbie, it took me a while to figure out what to do for the cursed costume. 

The Myth of the Manhattan Mourner

my first photo share, based on a ghoul placed outside a home near where i live. 

The Myth

It started as most mournful wives journey's begin, with death. For most wives, a husband or a child enter the spirit world absent the other. But, the Manhattan Mourner had both. And absent two she knew no other, and lived all alone. Her money must had been good cause she never was evicted. But, if you cry at the foot of her townhouse, to a love that is shared, she will grant you audience, and tell you what you need to end the shared sorrow. If the love isn't shared, she gains half of the life from each who don't share that fate would give. But no one knows what she does with the time?

The computer art students

The comments by human artists as the power or availability of computer artists to be taught through challenges, prompted, by humans increases shows a fear. 

If no one wants my art because a computer can do it , then so be it. I am not an artists to be in competition to other artists be it human or computer, and as a human being, I have to find a way to make money to support myself. And if that means doing something I don't like to make money, well so be that as well.

My Comment on the post

well said. I concur. I am not going to change who I am as an artist because of the environment changing. The problem with many artists today is they waver on being themselves whenever they realize a tool has come along that challenges their existence in some fashion as it .

Gladys Roy

This rare video from 1926 shows fearless aviator Gladys Roy performing one of the most daring aerial stunts in aviation history: changing a wheel on an airplane while flying!

Known for her daring feats, Gladys was at the height of her career in the 1920s, at a time when such stunts were performed to attract public attention and promote the emerging world of aviation.

Tragically, the following year, in 1927, Gladys unexpectedly met her end. During a performance in Minneapolis, she was on the ground, walking on the wing of a plane, when she didn't notice another plane taking off. The plane struck Gladys, causing fatal injuries.

This tragic accident occurred when she was just 25 years old, prematurely ending the career of one of the most courageous aviators of the time.

Do you know what a machicolation does? 

learn below

What does the standardization of grammar mean?

 the introduction

This is a time of much division. Families and communities are splintered by polarizing narratives. Outrage surrounds geopolitical discourse—so much so that anxiety often becomes a sort of white noise, making it increasingly difficult to trigger intense, acute anger. The effect can be desensitizing, like driving 60 miles per hour and losing hold of the reality that a minor error could result in instant death.

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2493&type=status

If unconvinced I said the following about the film, The Intruder

 the movie was a financial failure but Roger Corman admitted this was an art film, which he was able to barely afford, but he wanted to do. Comprehend this movie had to be a loser. Shatner's character didn't die? the rich guy of the town wasn't convicted of some crime. The black guy didn't become a hero. The truth is, the intruder speaks to the truth of alof of interracial situations in modern humanity. It is the same as the pawnbroker with rod steiger. 

The populace in the usa: white black or other, likes convenience. Likes narratives. Any art that goes against narrative is rarely liked. If the matrix ended with neo being killed and the system rebooting and then in some far date in the future, the sun returns and  the machines don't need the matrix for power, that would bea downer. audiences like a set narrative. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10571-aalbc-at-the-movies/

What is the lesson in the Palestinian?

Notice I didn't ask about their relationship to jews/zionists/israelis. The Palestinian at once time circa 1947 had a situation that had two main problems for them. 

1) Their country was governed by an outside force, the united kingdom of britain

2) A set of immigrants with ever growing support from The United States of America- the most powerful military among the college of human governments on earth circa 1947 plus said united kingdom wanted into their country.

The lesson is straightforward: never accept foreign control + never accept immigrants who don't share your heritage plus culture. If you do these two things you end up  like the palestinian in israel as well as the native american in the usa. 

Don't be a fool. 

Dark Academia

The following is a question and answer I gave concerning the Dark Academia artistic theme.

Do you have any favorite pieces of media that fit the dark academia theme?

I can't say the following film is most beloved or most favorited by me, but I like the films: "the covenant" ... I recall an old legend, I do not know where it is cited online, I read it offline. The old legend, told my way,  says that in spain, under a mound somewhere, is a gateway to a classroom. In this classroom, a negative spirit teaches all the students spells pertaining to shadows. The students live there and at the end of the course, the student with the worst grades must stay , their soul locked their forever.

How do you feel about dark academia as an aesthetic? Would you incorporate elements of it into your art or everyday life?

In my mind dark academia and the modern goth artistic movements are similar. I am an open minded artist so I don't have any biases to any aesthetic. I am not one to dress in it, but it is fine if someone else does. I know people offline who are goth or have a similar taste.  In terms of my own work, I can't recall anything that is dark academia. But I have written quite a bit. I have written work that deals with people learning magic and doing negative things but I don't see that as dark academia. Just learning negative magic or powers doesn't equate to dark academia for me. IF so, then every sith student in star wards is an example of dark academia and I don't see it that way. I think the larger environment has to bound to the darkness. Having house slytherin doesn't make harry potter dark academia.  Now,  a story about Durmstrang, the rival school to hogwarts, that teaches the full spectrum of dark magic <if you want me to write something, message me>

Share dark academia art in your comment, whether you made it yourself or a favorite artist did!

I realized I have little to nothing in my deviantart galleries that fits dark academia... here is what I think fits, I am open to read your thoughts on whether you think it does or does not:) 

the following is some art of mine I think is Dark Academia, what say you?

The problem with not saying what you want?

People like Greenwood never seem willing to admit their problem. They want the community they live in to be based on some conduct code ,but are unwilling to call for it. While they know they live in a fiscal capitalistic community which by default breeds a primary profiteering culture.

Greenwood wants no criminal or illegal activity plus the dismissal of penny dreadfuls by individuals. That is what his words suggest. The only way that can happen in the fiscal capitalistic england of his time is for fiscally poor people to embrace their poverty with a smile and become devout to the rules set by various christian denominations.

Maker’s comment: This is a 50cc motorcycle I built as a hobby. It took about 15 months to complete, and I learned how to design, weld, and do electrical wiring on my own. The motorcycle weighs approximately 170kg and has a 3-pedal 6-speed manual transmission, with a top speed of 60-70km/h. I’ve ridden this motorcycle and covered 47 prefectures in 233 days, totaling 20,052.8 kilometers.

Maker’s comment: I am creating a marble machine that rotates the entire course to roll the ball. We will be showcasing avant-garde works, including the “reverse marble machine” where the flow of the ball is opposite to the norm and the “infinite descent marble machine” where the ball continues rolling without stopping, offering something unique that you won’t see elsewhere.

Most governments in humanity are poor, they don't have the wealth or resources of the USA. Engineering is a process of gradual improvement. For example: people who built unmotorized bicycles went into automotive or aircraft manufacturing. My question: before a mission control for space exploration can be built is the prior construction an air traffic control ?

Do you know about female snakes?

I admit I knew about female snakes while totally ignorant about female snake vaginas. But I must go to the beginning. I saw the following image.

And I realized something. How can a snake-woman mate? In many images, snake woman seem to have a vagina like a human woman but that doesn't fit the snake anatomy well. Now I know that many species have an organ some call a cloaca [I learned for bird research a while back] which is designed to be a place for peeing/defecating/birthing. And I was right in my guess that snakes have cloacas. So I searched for one for females and I learned this is not commonly known. Knowing this if I ever do a hybrid snake-human woman in the future I will consider that reality in her posture. A study done in 2022 says the following in italic, with the entirety at the URL linked after the italic text. Remember to click read more. 

Despite more than two centuries' worth of data on hemipenes, however, nobody had described an equivalent structure in female snakes. The lack of evidence caused some scientists to speculate that snake hemiclitorises might not exist at all — or that, if they did, they had been reduced to a stunted evolutionary remnant.

A lack of research around female anatomy is a troubling scientific trend. Even in humans, surprisingly little is known about the clitoris. The full structure of the organ, which includes not only the little nub at the top of the labia but also two large internal bulbs full of nerve endings, wasn't discovered until the mid-1840s. Even then, it remained relatively obscure to the medical establishment until Australian urologist Helen O'Connell's work in 2005, which showed that typical textbook depictions of the clitoris were riddled with inaccuracies. In fact, just last month, scientists counted all 10,000 nerve fibers in the human clitoris for the first time.

Data about female reproductive anatomy and behavior in nonhuman animals are even more scarce. A November analysis published in the journal Nature found that between 1970 and 2021, more than seven times as many papers were published about sperm competition in animals compared with female mate selection. A 2014 perspectives article published in the journal PLOS Biology found that about 50% of all studies of animal genitalia published between 1989 and 2013 focused exclusively on males, while 10% focused only on females.

CENTO Series episode 17

Only one cento for this episode, for I wanted to share a little fictional prose. 

Oh griot, sing from tween the years when the ant hordes drank Gold Mushrooms and the silver tree barks, and the years of the rise of the Daughters of Kus, there was an age undreamed of, when beaming gardens lay spread across the world like free rainbows beneath the stars.

the original quote is below , do you know who is it from? say in comments, I will not tell.:) 

Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.

• 22nd- Moon closest to the south pole, greatest angle from equator going south; Mercury greatest distance from sun in the sky , elongation
• 23rd- September Equinox, the beginning of Spring in the southern hemisphere while the beginning of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Equinox means equal night. In this day, as in the other equinox,  the equator of the earth if expanded like a disk for in an instant makes the smallest angle between itself and the center of the sun. Or you can say, if a line was made between the center of the earth side the center of the sun, the equator will be at said line.

Left hand tutorials

When I was a child I used both my hands. Unfortunately, influence from the majority is never insequential, positively or negatively, and I didn't do it as much. But I utilize the tutorials in Deviantart to spend time drawing with my left hand.  No reason exists why all humans beings aren't reared to use both outside of poor rearing systems.

I place the list of tutorials at the following post, they are all graphite, but have fun. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2435&type=status

A fellow artists I am attached to on Deviantart just made over 5,000 watchers. Which is worthy of acclaim on a specialized site like Deviantart which is truly built for artists of all mediums/styles/disciplines, but not really the social landscapers , human or electronic,  that poison all the largest websites based on their populace of users. I made a little artwork for them. 

Sudowoodo

I made a Sudowoodo for a positive donation pool, if you make an artwork, nature conservancy gets two dollars. I did similar before with a make a wish collaboration. So, Sudowoodo can be considered my favorite pokemon based on art, even though I argue sableeye is my favorite in game playing.

All three Sudowoodo are cited in the Black Games Elite post below. Join the group , it will get better, but regardless , have fun.

The New Space Engine

Particle physics is just that the comprehension of the physicality of particles in them selves and unto each other. 
Now comprehend in the following explanation these are all names, you are free to use whatever names you want. Just because somebody said to call something one thing, doesn't mean you have to. Just because everyone around you uses a word for one thing, doesn't mean you have to.  I will use commonly used terms simply for others to check what i say or search on available tools, not cause I wish to carry or support the nomenclature.

Now you have compounds like "H20" which is two "hydrogen atoms" with one "oxygen atom". But "hydrogen atoms" plus "oxygen atoms" or all others on the "periodic table of elements" are composed of "electrons"/"protons"/"neutrons" or emit "photons" or "neutrinos" plus other things. You comprehend the term particle physics. To comprehend the "hydrogen atom" you need to comprehend the "electron" plus other particles. 

"protons" + "neutrons" are composed of "quarks" + "gluons". 
The "electron"  or "neutrino" or "photons" or "muons" + "quarks"  or "gluons" are commonly known to be absent composite parts. But they each have different times of life. As you know, "photons" in certain conditions is the basis for visible light. "Electrons" or "Protons" or "Neutrons" make up human side all other complex biochemical system's, including the earth itself. They don't operate like "photons", or you will see everybody in a flash. 

"gluons" are considered unstable. A nice way to think of it is the basis behind "Nuclear fission". In "nuclear fission",  elements of the "periodic table" some call heavy based on the quantity of "protons" or "electrons" or "neutrons" like "Uranium"<circa 96 protons> for example have a natural decay. Which means what? Like the human body decays at death, unstable. "uranium" does the same thing, as a much smaller entity than a human body , and slowly losses "electrons"/"protons" /"neutrons" becoming lighter and lighter till "Iron" <circa 26 protons> if I am correct. The release of the particles is energy and that energy can heat things, like water. ala a "Nuclear power plant".

So comprehending the very tiniest of particles can help explain in more detail the grandest of actions. The race to a nuclear powered space ship engine will be better designed if the smallest of particles actions can be more easily calculated.

Week 2 of Bettsfic writing workshop

Main post where I describe elements of me paying attention in the week and developing a story concept based on it

Poetry based on things i paid attention to

Stageplay, using the character of Sarah from Innocent Little Margaret , having elements from the Pay Attention

What artists has truly inspired you, pick one? 

asked by RTNightmare

August Wilson, the playwright. He wrote the play Fences which was made into a film with Viola Davis side Denzel Washington. I also saw those thespians on stage.

why has august wilson inspired me more than other artists who have inspired me? 

I must first say I can make this comment book length on why. But, I will focus on how August Wilson inspires me in an uncommon way. 

...

Art in all forms or fashions is unbounded in what humans can create/intake from it. Unfortunately while inevitably, all art is influenced by the relationship humans have to each other. Art from individuals in a human community that is subservient to another human community can become trapped in or show shackles from the reality beyond the individual imagination. 

August Wilson's plays are clearly set in Black communal spaces in the usa, but are not devoid the presence of potency from the white community in the usa. While the black characters or their space is not caricatured, an exaggeration, nor is the potency from whites outside of black spaces caricatured. 

Finally, the resulting message, all art has messages <yes, even the absence of a message is a message> , doesn't pigeonhole the spectator whether Black or non Black into a guided mindset. 

All my words above are give a short explanation to the difficulty in making art that publicly involves race while not caricaturing any race or guiding the mindset of those who ingest said art on how they shall think. 

The audience is not a fool, no one is, we all know the world beyond the individual imagination, whether we like it or not. 

But seeing with my own eyes, various peoples who clearly share different opinions, leave a theater with the same mindset they came in while experiencing a story that is specific and in every element relates to the various battles or histories outside the theater. 

That is not common for artists. 

To be blunt, Barbie from ruth handler, for colored girls from Ntozake Shange , Huckleberry finn from mark twain, various films from spike lee, the little mermaid films from disney... a long list of highly acclaimed beloved art, doesn't allow for interaction by all races without caricaturing a race or trying to massage minds to change while being clearly racial in design. 

That unique quality is what August Wilson was able to achieve as a writer and that ability to achieve a unique quality puts the spirt in me to achieve different but just as unique qualities in my own craft.

I Sit And Think 

from JRR Tolkien

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

Harlem of Yore

1930 Harlem, I think circa 135th street madison

Enlistment into Ethiopia, which is why Ras Tafari commonly called Haille Selassie publicly offered land in Ethiopia in Harlem afterward. Ras Tafarians from Jamaica took the chance but it was meant for Black Harlemites.

Do you say what you really want if empowered?

From said time in Harlem to now, many black people in the USA suggest they want a world of equality but is that true? I argue many groups in the USA, not empowered, don't want equality, simply want to replace white/christian/heterosexual/men... but is that a negative desire, now that is the question?

My Thoughts

I thought about accessibility. If accessibility was considered from the beginning of most processes it would undo alot of the schemes/scams/ aspects of entertainment/social media/wesbites or other. 
For example, I like the mandolorian show from Disney. If someone is blind and they can't see the Mandolorian maybe they have an audio read version available. So they can hear each episode absent commercials. But imagine if you are listening to an on demand film, like Godzilla,  like from TNT of the warner bros group in Discovery. Imagine you hear:"this thing killed my wife!, have you ever had bad bowels, Well try..." The commercial break is by default a terrible element. For someone who can only hear they are bound to hear a commercial where those with sight can mute and move on and come back. 
Accessibility if engineered optimally will delete many methods of commercialization in entertainment or media through electronic means.

What is some advice you would give to a new artist?

Was asked by RTNNightmare, and the following is my answer.

Try to always remember the difference between the creative life side the commercial life of an artist.
The creative journey is eternal. There is no time or place or judgement that can satisfy the artists creative destination. 
The proof will be in your future, when you make some heavy lauded work. Take two year after said work is lauded, and you will be more creatively unsatisfied with said work than two years ago.
The commercial journey is mortal, is straight forward. The goal is to make money using your art. The audience taste is the determinant. The ability for your work to get outreach is more important commercially than the work itself. 
Remember to find communities online that enjoy the art work you do or may enjoy it. You are just starting so commercially you don't have a name to be recognized so you must go to the people who may find your work interesting. 
The media tools will not direct them to you.

You have to try and comprehend and embrace that duopoly. Some, including artists, will tell you that the commercial goes hand in hand to the creative but that isn't true. And that isn't a negative. 
Jean Michel Basquiat< streetart>
Philip K Dick <writer>
Penny and the Quarters<music>

All of these people posthumously found commercial success that they were not even remotely close to when living. Does it mean that when they were alive their work was crap or creative garbage. No, creatively it was fine as all work is creatively fine. But commercially, it wasn't good enough. The sad truth is that audiences tastes change, work gets outreach it never had and then can come a horde of money.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

The Entertainment Industry Is Going The Way Of The Automotive In The USA

Fiscal Capitalism in the USA has always been about cheating. Fortunes made from stolen land, forced labor, auniversal illegal allowances, auniversal murder of competitors, dysfunctional financial trading systems all served and serve to grow and maintain the wealth of a certain group, not to invite competition or share wealth in the USA's history and in modernity to the global system the USA manages. And it isn't all doom and gloom for the USA. Western Europe, Korea, Japan  plus many others all require the USA to protect them from countries with true militaries. So the last bit of the Entertainment Industry <music/sport already went before film>goes the way of the automotive/electronic/real estate industry in the usa as dominated by foreign actors allowed by an open market that other countries with true militaries dont allow in their borders. The question is, with nothing but being a police man to most of humanity outside the usa while machines are able to do most uncreative jobs, what industries will be left in the usa for humans? and,.. will they be enough?

Lackadaisy Rhapsody

A rhapsody is a musical form where improvised or spontaneous bridges between musical segments not aligned to each other is made as one song. The original rhapsody was the person who interwove epic poems to speak, as epic poems are long and need improvised bridges.

I was referred to this example by the following

Calligraphy Journey

 the title of TheOneWithBear ManHua, Sunshine Through the Willow Tree.

It took half of year for my fellow calligraphist to make the electronic brush as well as practice the forms.

Calligraphy comes in many forms but usually is a measure between legibility<the ability to read> side figurability <the ability to see an image>

For example, the following is the tughra or signature of Sulemain the magnificent of the Ottoman empire

 One can tell it is writing but it isn't meant for those that know the signs of arabic. It is designed to show an image, figurability.

In parallel TheOneWithBear's example below is no less craftwork, or calligraphy, but is meant for more legibility.

CENTO Series episode 6

And the banshee lilts her lamentations

trembling trees bow their hoary heads

and nature is anointed in tears of grief

for the lord of the land dies this night

And the banshee lilts her lamentations

Won't you share an enticing cup of tea

And I will admit I madly giggled

Steeped in ambient impossibilities

What a great old time was our repartee

If you are interested in reading my own lines, here is a collection

Or if you prefer to listen,

here is a recording with art, can you tell the Cento I made of my own work in the art? 

I do calligraphic commissions

Witches Pendant 3d Model

It all began with a Witchtember, a daily art prompt challenge, entry. The prompt was necklace. Where I made the following. Can you tell the spell of the pendant or the meaning of the Banners of Arms? Maybe you can guess the names of the two clans.

Then, arcencieldigitalart made a 3d contest and so I made a coloring page, do show me your colors?

and with said base I made the 3 d model. It seems embedding from sketchfab isn't working in over-blog. So you have to click to experience the image volumetric. 

Do you think I need to do the whistling blade next?

Bulwer Lytton

I submitted my one sentence. I thought about it for a while. Even though they allowed multiple entries. I wanted to be more honest and give one sentence one go. I chose a story I am working on that makes me laugh as the inspiration. It ended the 30th of June so the time has passed to submit but they invite annually since the 1980s. Have at it next time.

Black Education in the USA was never...

bad. Black people, the community or most individuals, are simply financially poor and that comes with a reality no quantity of knowledge can undo.
