The Ethereal Ascent

Image
  The Ethereal Ascent The air in the room is violently still, creating a heavy pressure. She has long stopped looking at the clock, realising that time here is not a sequence but a weight. The waiting room has fractured; the mundane reality of plastic chairs and linoleum flooring splinters into a jagged, stained-glass fever dream. High-pitched frequencies of burning red and sickly blues vibrate as if hardened walls, echoing the frantic noise of a mind that has run out of distractions. Every sharp edge of colour feels like a spiritual siege, a sensory reminder that her momentum has been forcibly halted. There is no use in pacing. There is no use in resisting the authoritative hand of the "in-between." To survive this stall, she must stop fighting the current and become part of the stagnant water. She looks out, as if just awakened, and does the only thing left to recollect. She breathes. She waits. She waits for the shards to align once more. Be Creative and Innovative wit...

My Alien Plasma

 

My Alien Plasma

I made two digital artworks, each with a different approach. The first, Alien Plasma Neo, uses advanced digital editing to show a highly detailed energy being. The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods.


Alien Plasma Neo

My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry. I wanted to show this being at its highest energy, even down to the smallest energy pathways. I used GIMP and Luminar Neo to create strong neon effects and contrast, and I experimented with AI tools to shape the detailed, crystal-like network of glowing fibres. Every claw, every symmetrical part, and the strict geometry of the corridor were meant to make it a perfect digital specimen. I approached it as if I were documenting its power with a high sense of visual believability.

Alien Plasma Cave Neo

Now, while travelling with only my iPad, I wanted to simplify things and focus on feeling rather than details. That’s how Plasma Alien started, drawn directly in Procreate. The difference is clear right away. I loosened the symmetry and focused on a more active, dynamic pose. The energy is no longer controlled; it’s wild, explosive, and twisting. I used loose, textured Procreate brushes to paint light rather than just show it. The background changed too, from a detailed corridor to a loose swirl of colours, like a portal of light and movement. In Plasma Alien, I tried to show what it feels like to be near this being. This version is more of a rush of inner power than a clear depiction. I hope you, as the viewer, can sense the electric energy and volatility, as if you were standing in the room yourself, reacting instinctively. One piece is a sharp digital snapshot, while the other is raw. I am unsure how I shall take this forward as a transformation of my art practice. Do you have any thoughts?
