Concomitant Comets (version 4)

Concomitant Comets (version 4)

I uploaded the first series of this image several months ago, and it had a bunch of text I incorporated in that previous version that I had obtained from tweets I tweeted out at the time on Twitter. Well, I became annoyed with the text after a while, and really wanted to have this image portrayed without the text detracting so much attention from the image itself.

I decided to attempt to obnubilate the text by using various methods learned from earlier digital art training. You can still see some of the text a little bit, but that’s okay with me. It 1) creates a sort of subliminal effect and 2) allows for more ease on the eye enabling it to explore the textures of color and shape.

The word concomitant really means something that accompanies another thing. Like when a patient takes a certain medicine for a certain illness, sometimes another drug will be prescribed along with the primary drug for treatment. This is termed as taking a drug concomitantly with another drug.

In this picture, I determined that the circular shapes with tails on them looked like comets, and there are several of them, so I titled it Concomitant Comets. It is odd, however, that the comets are arising from what appears to me to be an ocean. Perhaps they are U.S.O.s (unidentified submersible objects) springing forth from a secret alien facility deeply submerged under an unnoteworthy part of the deep ocean far from land so as to remain surreptitious to the sea voyaging human mind.
