I was working on additional pieces for the Busy Zone series but I was struggling with the color scheme for this one. The less busy areas along the top needed bright colors. When I was satisfied with the colors, I realized I had created a piece for Bright Zone instead of Busy Zone. There is no rule that says I cannot augment previous series.

Underwater seaweed?

A little sparse compared to the others. Underwater, with schools of fish?

This fits nicely with the Zones collection. Very busy holes leading to other dimensions, with small fragments scattered in-between.

In this case, during the publish step I discarded the original, and completely started over.

Waterfall perhaps? With rushing river below?

I planned this series at the end of last year. I had completed images for the whole series. The plan changes in the final perparations before publishing. I publish some images intact, some get minor touch ups, some have major rework, and some are completely new creations. This is a major rework. In the original I had the "waterfall" as a minor feature on the side. I enlarged it, centered it, and made it the main forcus.

I have posted something new here daily for almost a year now (since February 21, 2023). It is difficult to keep up that pace. Even now, when I am posting items that I prepared a couple of months ago, and skipping the descriptions. There are still some final touches to add, and the process of moving files to the web site and creating a nearly empty post. It still takes time. So I am going to relax a little bit, and set my sights on a couple of posts each week. That is a minimum. I expect there will be spurts of daily posts along the way.

Busy Zone

This series collects images I originally created for the Strange Zone II series. That collection was getting very large so I split it up. The works in this group are very busy. They tend to have a lot of fine details, with many haphazardly placed small shapes.

As I am wrapping up the series, I am adding a few that did not make the initial cut. Here is another one with texture. Bright Zone #13 is the flat version.

This was the original for Bright Zone #2. I decided that it was too noisy, so I cropped the top middle-right and published and published that. Now that I have included a few other messy pieces, I am including this one as well.

I added some texture to this one.
