Rising Phoenix

As the name suggests, a warm color pallet is in this one. Since school has started and cooler weather is coming upon us, just thought I would make a brighter image. I also noticed that most of my images don’t feature orange. So I thought that I would look online for good colors that go with orange, and blue was one of them. Not blue again!! Don’t worry, I hope that this image will be a bit of a change for the better.

So I took a slightly different approach to this one than I usually do. I started with some random shapes that I drew with blue, and then with orange and distorted the crap out of them. I then tried different blending effects and when that wasn’t working to my liking, I flattened the image with the layers that I wanted and blended the layers using different effects. Here is the image.

Upon further examination, and just thinking of how this could have an emotional connection to school having started, the blue could be something like the calmness of the first week of school. Then the stress comes in which is the explosion of red and orange. Eventually you get burnt out with the stress of school, work, and your personal life which I guess could be the Phoenix slowly dying. But when the semester ends, the Phoenix is reborn by bursting into flame and coming forth.

There we go, just thought I’d add something like that to this image and this post this week. Hope you enjoyed it and I’ll hopefully have more for you soon.
