Chasm
 

After creating Faded, I wanted to continue to try making background wallpapers. Considering Faded was almost totally green, I chose another strong color to work with. Tada, red.

I wanted to try something similar of the 'fading' concept and instead creating one of 'falling' and 'capture'. The vortex effect provided a sense of hypnosis as well as the helplessness of falling that I have experienced so many times in my dreams. I'm sure everyone has had one of those 'falling' dreams :P.

The little menu at the left was a test of a style I see in some places. Usually it's mixed with more layers though, so it kinda looks really too simple in mine. I really play with color dodge too much...
