this image is much like your gallery - it is strange. strange in a good way. whenever i look around your gallery, i always find something amazing that i completely overlooked! this image really requires a full view - and what treasures are to be found that way! i guess that is what your gallery and this image have in common; treasure.
you mention in your description that h.r. giger is a pretty heavy influence on you and your aesthetic appeal. i think that if that style is what you were going for - you succeeded very well, however with your own evident touch. i am not too familiar with giger's work, but i am almost positive that he is the dude that did the 'alien' movie sets and prop/creature design - i am sure he has done more than that, but that's all i got. you have a much 'softer' and 'hotter' touch in this piece - that kind of sounds weird, but i think it is due to the soft, ambient lighting choices and the whisps at the top of each part of the creature or machine...
the details in this image are breathtaking. what i attain from this image are the stages of a birth, which goes quite well with the title 'generator' as they share a common theme/definition of creation. each section seems to become more developed from right to left. (i should stop right here because i think i am reading into this way too much, but i figure that you can stop reading at any point you desire, so onward i go about how enticing this image is ). so if this image is about birth or creation then i think the orientation is wicked clever in the inverse correlation to the title. development from right to left is the same as decay from left to right. i just think that is awesome. and witty. sweeet.
the details really suck me into this image, a lot. a real lot. i get lost in each of those artery and organ-like features in the creatures. it seems like there is an infinite world within each of the stages of the creature. that is another wonderful aspect to this piece. if the contents of this image were imagined within what we know to be matter and space - i can see this being micoscopic or gargantuan - like a whole solar system of endless innards.
lastly, i am rediculously curious as to how you created this image. just photoshop. wow. you have great skills - 'girls only like guys who have skills', ya know.

i apologize that i could not refrain and constrain my commenting. i dig your work, keep it up!

take care and love life!

If ever I wanted someone to draw the nightmarish visions I concieve, I'd ask you.

I'm expecting to see embryos or human figures merged with this thing.

Very cool stuff... And I wasn't gonna say it's geiger-ish .
I really like it, it has a very fresh vibe and it's fascinating to look at.

Amazing, I love it! Next time you're on aim, I'm forcing you to show me how you did this!

Gigeresque? Perhaps... in the same way that The Cure is Goth... which means "very little" in my book. It'd need a lot more penises to be Gigeresque. To me it's distinctly Manya, and a wonderful example at that. Very nice.

So who is this Giger guy you keep talking about?? hehe... jk of course I like this one a lot, M. I like the abstractness... I get a much more organic feeling from it than a "generator" feel. Maybe a sort of coccoon or hive or something... But that's of course just me and a biproduct of your good work.

It is very Geiger... oh, you knew huh? Seriously! I think his repetitive organic works are immense, and this goes beyond, it is in your own deformed, surrealist maddening signature way of working. Highly detailed, I see some very distressing forms in this!

eep i thought it was some feed troughs full of rancid liquified meat by-products.
Also could be dirty rain water running into a storm drain grate. pretty abstract, i like it.

sorry the computer crashed just as I was writing you... or maybe not... you know they are monitoring us, so we never really know when its a crash or a control...
This piece is very intriguing and exciting. Makes me wanna know your world and be inside it. Must be filled with amazing labyrinths, tunnels, etc
I like this feeling of mix between the metal and the organic...
Excelent!

Wierd... but I like it!!! I'm not sure if I commented on this before or not... if so, well, here's number two!! How did you make it? Was it all from your brain, or was it a manipulated image... or what? I cannot tell... but it looks very cool.

It's the type of power plant that eats you to make more power to go out and eat more people to make more power.

This is yet again another VERY organic piece that seems to stem from the pattern of habit. Yet, the drive of change keeps it going towards a future that WILL be obtained, outside of its own life. This is a very strong piece from an emotional stand, i can see the fustraion and anger yet the feeling of passiveness and clam also surround it.


i love your complex simplicties.
great work.

while i really think that this looks totally awesome, i can't really wrap my brain around it because of the lack of clarity in it. odd.

Deus Ex Machina... Is the first thing I come to think of when I look at this.

A deviant wrote something about 'generating nightmares'... I see that as well, somehow. But then again, your art makes me think of a lot of things, which is - of course - excellent!

(Okay, if I knew Russian I'd say something like 'thank you for sharing this with us here at DA')

Wonderful darkness!

damn, all I can say at this point, (or, this time of night I should say).. is that is FU**KIN COOL. I have dreams with stuff like that in it (I wish i could draw/paint, I could make some twisted shit out of dreams)
Awsome work

wow, this is crazy. its very organic and yeah the giger influence is totally obvious but the colours you use are much warmer than the washed out greys he uses alot in his work. i like it
but for some reason im seeing bats hanging upside down...

but i have been animating at my computer for 2 days straight so i could be alone on that one
