HI!
Tell me what you think of this. I was inspired to do this after reading "It ain't All Sweet" by *writewatiwant* :)

Hi lava!

This is sweet! (No pun intended.)
I really love this kind of art. Very abstract, yet it totally makes me think of candy and other sweet, fun things. I especially like the color of the background and the various shades.
Gold star! :D

This is so cool. It really made me smile and I kinda get this bittersweet feel from it. It looks delicious in ways but then the black and white circles put you into reality. I don't know, I can't explain it but I really really liked it.

Anyway, I really like this. Even if I'm a writer and my opinion on this kind of work doesn't matter much, I still love it! Gold star!
Keep on the good work! :D

I really like this it. It's very simple. I might have been more careful on the blurry lines that look like they're dripping off of the black and white circles. On one, it kind of goes into the white circle and it doesn't look right. Some of the circles look kind of pixely like you erased them. You might have wanted to soften those edges, but besides from my little nitpicks, it's really nice. I like the symbolism in it. This seems very computer desktop worthy. :P Good job!

By the way, what did you make it on?

It almost looks like the black circles are infecting the other, brighter ones, since it's the only one that's dripping/running. But that's just me being morbid. XD

I think it looks really cool overall. I have a friend who had her room painted kind of like this when we were in middle school. It was awesome.

Nice work! :D

this was really awesome and compleatly fun to look at. What program did you use?? if it is photoshop that is the last straw I am getting a job and buying it. But I liked the three-D poping out at you effect. I could see it as a target comercial, one that I would actually stop and watch. THe colors really blended together nicley and it was just really awesome to look at. Some thing I will need to document and study for my future carear as a graphic designer. Awesome and you should totally tell me how you did it. I love it.

Hahaha I enjoy this.
There are a few things I like about this, well, whatever it is.

1. I like how there are a bunch of happy colors in the backround, with pretty swirls, but then you add the black and white smudgy rings and it's like "LOLZZ Just Kidding!" (Sorry, lol bad sense of humor.)

2. Maybe I'm just retarded, but do the black and white rings look like a penguin to you? They do to me. Ok, look at the two circles in the middle, they're the beak. It's like a frontal veiw. Now look at the circles on the right and left. They're the eyes. See it? It's kindof like his rigth eye is closer to you than his left, like he's leaning in closer with that side of his face, the way birds do when they look at things. Anyways, when I look at it this way it makes me laugh. He looks just like Achemedes from The Sword in the Stone.

3. Now that you see the penguin or what have you, can you see the expression? It's kindof skeptical, like he doesn't really believe you, or that he's afraid to believe you. Or maybe the colors in the backround are all smoke and mirrors, and he's trying to tell you to run. The happy feeling is compeltley illusional, the colors aren't even really there.. it's actually nothing. You're not looking at happiness, your imagining it.

Kindof like the Chronicles of Narnia. They're all dead! The world inside the wardrobe was like they're limbo. The place the left of fragments of mind and sould made up to condone for the loss of physical connection to the world.

That's what your image makes me think of, limbo. It makes me wonder where the line between imagination and reality lies.

Soooo.. yayay! That was very interesting. Thank you.

oopsie, spelling era. last paragraph.

"...the place the left OVER (not of) fragments of mind and SOUL (not sould)..."

OK that's it I think.
what's great about being a teenager is that you can change yourself as much as you like and nobody will say anything because they'll equate it to being a part of growing up

I love how the color really pop out at you!
Though the smudge effect on the Black object really sets it apart. In a good way! :)

Thanks to Katherine and Boots!
And Katherine, I loved the way you looked at it and it made me look at it as if it was a penguin. Nice concept. Loved it!
