Description

Edit [2/13/2013]: Revising this yet again because like with the older version I can't look at the mistakes anymore, so expect an overworked version sometime this year (:


So, I finally got to redo my 1-year-old "The Universe is a Jellyfish" painting. I had it finished for some time, but I wasn't satisfied enough to post it here. Then the draw-this-again-contest motivated me to redo it again. I worked 10 hours straight, thought I finished it, went to sleep, looked at it again and saw that it really wasn't finished and worked some more on it. I guess it took me 12 hours in total. I'm not entirely satisfied, but this new version is waaay better than the other new version. I still like the old version though :) By the way, I dabbled a little bit in fractal art for this^^
Anyway, I hope you like it!

Still the most important question: What if the universe was a jellyfish? :lol:

I didn't use any stock pictures/brushes/etc. I made the star brushes, the fractals for the galaxy-thing and everything else myself.

Last but not least: That's my artwork. If I catch you stealing it I'll get very, very angry.


Old version:

Poem inspired by this painting: JellyverseThe universe is
a vast and infinite space,
they say,
full of stars
and mysteries.
It could be a disk,
as the earth once was,
for all we know.
Or
a jellyfish.
Floating in the sea
of space and time.
We would be thoughts
thought light-years ago,
forgotten again in seconds,
or billions of years.

Stunning piece! I love the contrast between the complex details in the galaxy to the simplicity of the composition! Truly beautiful work!
