The Stains of Chaos No. 2

The Inspiration For This
This is a follow up to the original Stains of Chaos.
This was created using the drippy jellyfish variant of the Sargent brushes in Corel Painter 18.
I've described before how hard it seems to be to get the chaos inherent in natural textures using digital painting it takes a lot of work.
As before I went through lots of layers both adding and deleting to get it where it looked right to me.
I've also added a white border to show how it might look framed. - I'll include a borderless version so you can see it a bit larger below. I've also ordered a framed print of this as a test.
Also (as I usually say) feel free to use it in your own posts if you can find a use for it.

Portraits Needed
BTW I'm also looking at doing some practice portrait sketches - it is a long time since I have done anything like that so they will likely be quite rough (at least initially) whilst I develop the skills again.
If you are a brave soul and would like me to try sketching a portrait of you please let me know in the comments and we can arrange a way for you to send me a photo to use as a reference.
I like the name stain of chaos. However, it looks like a planetary atmosphere which itself is a great example of chaos.
Yes in some ways it does.
I'm an unofficial member of the Cloud Watching Society and this painting really appealed to me. You went into the purple colour palette with the brightness at the center as focal point, and the light diffused through it, as sunlight through a cloudy rift. The darker purple tones hint at a brooding presence, with the lighter hues balancing this and verging to gray and pink. This is one of my personal favourites. You seem to be getting even more skillful with each new piece.
Thanks for your kind words :)
you're welcome
This artwork really makes me wonder what is BEHIND the fog. I have this feeling that it's probably something out there, and I'll see it when fog and dust will calm down
Very beautiful.
Went I first looked at this piece I saw clouds as @johnjgeddes keenly pointed out. But then things began to change for me.... I am from Newfoundland and I grew up in fishing boats on the violent Atlantic Ocean. For me, this is the churning water of the cold November sea. These are the colours and textures you would see close to a beach in 10-feet of water as the engine turns over the water. My fingers are freezing just looking into it.
Thank you for posting this beautiful work. Following and looking forward to more of your work :)
Cheers,

Thank you:)
I like the look of that simple, minimalistic cream border. Really makes all the murky disarray pop out and. A little bit of order within the chaos.
It seems like the blemishes continue and this is a potent stain that seizes to subside.
I can't believe this has been done digitally. It looks so realistic and authentic. Really blows my mind what wonders you can make with some software.
Great Job @thecryptofiend! :)
Thanks - yes it is amazing how good the brushes and textures are on Corel Painter!
Absolutely stunning work , I can tell as always that you put in a lot of hard work . This art work is so calming and relaxing to look at due to its mix of colors .
As you gaze into it , it seems to take you to another dimension , love it . The color combination is perfect !!
It seems like it's not digital, which makes you even of a better artist ..
Thanks - that is why I like making these. This is the kind of art that I find quite relaxing and meditative to look at.
Agreed , I'll be looking forward to more peaceful work , such as beaches and sand . Steem on my friend !
Look like very nice
Thank you.
Thx for sharing
You're welcome.
I LOVE abstract paintings and other abstract artwork. I think the world needs more of it. Good for you for taking the time to get into abstract artwork. I think your painting deserves an upvote and following!!
Thank you:)
Nice work! Something about art always interests me
Thanks. Something about it interests me too
Very interesting :) I was just think what you next make :)
i opened the image in the new tab and you are right that was just brilliant from what i see it in the post :D
Thank you:)
I would like to use this....I know it says we can use it in a post...but can i edit it also? Cut the frame or use it as a background, etc?
Yes sure do what you like with it. Send me a link in the chat when you do the post.
Wow this texture looks amazing, I will try to use them in my 3D designs, will this be good if you do not have any issues. I love these textures very much. If you own copyright to them , let me know. We can collaborate and make some post together.
Well I created them so I own the copyright so you don't have to worry about using them (as long as you credit them). Send me a link in the chat if you make a post.
I will make more if people find them useful.
I first started experimenting with these brushes a while back so I could create textures for photographs rather than abstract pieces in their own right - I think they can work both ways though.
Ok I will be happy to use it.
This abstract painting reminds me of the beach. The waves are crashing the shore on a cloudy day where the sun is trying to peak through! :D
I would volunteer to be the first test for a portrait sketch!
Cool. If you DM me in the chat we can figure out a way to send a reference photo. I think dropbox is probably the easiest way.
Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :]
Thank you!
I would like to comment something smart and fun about this painting, but I have 0 understanding in this field. Anyway, for me this stuff looks very sad and depressing.
Seems you have some understanding then;)
I love the comment about how hard it is to capture chaos. That's basically the whole premise of chais right?
love this piece! keep it up!
Thank you:)
I like it, very stormy. Would be good on a canvas!
Yes I've ordered a cheap print to see how it looks if it is decent I might get it done on a proper art paper or canvas.
Amazing post, a presentation in perfect harmony with the content which shows a great love for art and an absolute creativity
Thanks!

Amazing dear friend Up&Resteem
very nice, thx for sharing
Nice help me
What is the problem?
I like it but it would be much better if there are some objects like landscape, trees, mountains, etc. although it is much to ask for.
I would like to see your sketches soon @thecryptofiend it would be interesting.
I don't think you understand the meaning of abstract.
Yes I am a little feeble-minded.
We all are.
No you're not haha
You're very humble @thecryptofiend
You're really a friend of the many.
:)
