I love this, you lost half a star because of the roughness in some places, but I could see this being in an art museum. It's funny because this is the first time you uploaded something where the pattern filled the whole canvas and it got frontpaged. Maybe someone's trying to tell you something.
I think the discoloration was a happy accident, it breaks things up and gives you something to consider. I would love a 1920x1080 wallpaper similar to this.

Yeah, I know what you mean, there's places where life got kind of fucked up and I beat the shit out of the paper. Top right in particular was a fight with my dad. It was also really difficult to get enough lighting, I started in November when it still felt like summer basically, clear skies for weeks at a time, then sudden bleh. This is a mandala, basically, done a section at a time each day the sky was clear.
I've wanted to fill things out like this for a while, but it's taken this long to work on my sense for value for it to make sense. Working on figure drawing next, just trying to diversify the textures and living forms I can achieve - I want these to breathe when you look at them :3 And yeah, the only worry is that the discoloration is from the paper itself and not my clumsiness. The latter I can work with, but it'd suck never being able to use a tortillon for this.
Thank you for the comments. I'll try to get some wider stock, or maybe trim down a page to work as a wallpaper - it's been in my head too.
Love (!!) this piece - great line weight and detail. With just lines you've been able to put a lot of personality in your work, which is very impressive. And as Luckytime said, the discoloration adds to the piece. :)

Thank you! Maybe I can work out a way to do it intentionally next time, haha.
Wow. I don't know what it is, but it feels like its moving. The purple on the right feels like it's in the background, and its moving to the left. Then when it turns pink it moves center into the foreground. Feels alive. It's crazy...Anyways, I really like it and glad it was featured.
Eagleon responds:
Thank you! Yeah, I was kinda shocked, glad people like it.
Really nice piece of work! They're looking like some feathers.
