Description
Like Van Gogh, wrestling love for immortality,
Rorschach Butterfly in print impatiently awaits death,
Then, only then, what remains will be seen....
( Poetry by Syyd Raven)
Experimental Phase/Freewebcam/Photoshop
Wrote this poem many months ago, when I realized that the last years work, all my surreal experimentations could not be printed well, because I had only been saving at 72DPI. I vowed to never work again in this style, and went into a serious depression. Now I feel an urge to go back to it. I think this is the first step toward it.
I am not comfortable having my picture taken either, and somehow the poem, and the photographs Colm took, seem to gel into the idea of moving back into the circle. Its like trying to get back into my own skin, in two different ways.
Pure Experimentation

Hi Syyd. I see where the inspiration for your beautiful eye textures come from. It's a shame about the res on your surreal work. Damn, now that I think about it, #%@* %$* $#@%. I can see why it is depressing. It would be very hard if not impossible to recreate them at a higher res. I know I've enjoyed them immensely and I look forward to even better ones. This is fantastic work. I see you growing in your art all the time. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a Happy New Year.
hey syyd....great picture.....don't know what more to say, only one word: great!
Sorry to hear you are not able to print your work. I had the same problem a few years ago so everything that I do and want to save is at 300Dpi.
The center shot in this picture is amazing. Like your artwork's outstreching grasp of emotion, it shows in your face as if touched by god;) and i love the opening line in your poem as well. As 4 the camera dont be shy it seems to like you P.S. to colm my friends have always been jealous of my girlfriends looks well im jealous, some how you found one with talent too:) merry christmas
Hey Syyd..in just about the same time period I went through the same experience...which is partly why I have not been posting much lately...It is a shock!!!...but only a stage in development for all of us learning to use this new form of producing art....the "positive" side is that we can continue to support one another as we all move along and share the expressions from our souls...here on Renderosity..and of course elsewhere..........Seasons Greetings to your family..say Hi to Colm from me...and thanks for everything...................
Damn... Syyd your the best... you have soul... you.. yank and pull it ... tear it out... and show us... God bess you.... you are a very beautiful woman.. and with Colm taking those pictures they can only be great... please move on and more and more....
It amazes me how often an attractive woman is uncomfortable with the camera, my ex girlfriend hated her face on film....she shouldn't have & neither should you Sydd!! Nice work & I wait to see this style developed more (just don't stop you're other work, I & many others would miss it!!)
Incredible, thought-provoking art.... but the real beauty lies in the fact that the artist far exceeds it. Beautiful face.... more beautiful soul.
My BEAUTIFUL SISTER!!!! Love Your eyes my deares, they are such an incredible mirror of Your soul, thank You for experiencing this very special image of You I love it!
This is great Syyd!!!! You are truly talented and have an incredible artistic instict as I have told you before!!! This only furthers my opinion....that you truly have a gift!!!!
My blinded eyes are open again
seeing all the worlds pain
why cant I just be
just be
me.
I wish I had your way with words - and images. I am sorry to hear about your previous works. But your talent and drive and now, inspiration, will always be with you. And while you may not be able to recreate those previous masterpieces, I am certain you will surpass them - for now you not only have your talent to draw from, but that well of emotion that your pain has given you. (as a side note you might want to take them to a printhouse that has a fiery rip process or equivalent - it might surprise you what preprocessing will do for your output!)
Syyd you is girl! I am embarrassing, feel warm! Nice beautiful eye like windows in soul
Very nice Syyd...you have to be one of the most intriguing and talented people here. I just love your art! Your style is quite unique... :o)
Yes, arent you just the sweetest thing? ;-)
syyd...it would be a shame for you to lose it all...i htink i can help...if you have PaintshopPro...you can change the dpi w/ no problem...just go into the resize dialog and type in a new resolution...i'm not sure how to do the smae thing in Photoshop, but there must be a way...keep up the great stuff and never say die...
