Pattern and repetition

Here is a newer method I've been working on where I'm using pattern and repetition to break up and layer my shape assets. The file sizes and renders are huge, and saving takes around eight minutes to complete. Maybe time for a new computer.

I've never been trying to create an 'effect', but moreso about building a complicated structure using basic shapes and color. The amount of shapes in each of my pieces really only shows in the final poster, so I wanted to post a few super close-ups to show what is going on and how the shapes react to one another.

Detail one, two and three.

Nice piece, although I have the feeling I´ve seen it before..
Repetition using base-shapes could save you some time, and vector would be helpful to reduce the file size.
This piece is probably one of the better ones.

Espen, this is an experiment, by no means a final piece. My shapes are created in vector format but overall construction takes place in Photoshop.

Horacio, I'm looking into both options :) Thanks man.

Yah James, it looks really cool! I'd love to see what a finished piece looks like. I know what you mean in terms of a new computer. I want one really bad but I have a feeling I'd have to spend about $10,000 to get what I really want (computer + cintiq + 32 inch monitor) and that's a little more than I have to spend right now.

Its a bit like light coming through a tree or reflections on water. I really like how you played with the density or size of the pattern to give it a feel of perspective. REALLY disorienting! Anyway, enough pseudo-artistic babble, good work!
