First computer art-piece - 嗔 (Rage) : Nov-09

It started off with a thought to draw something on my long 'shelfed' sketch book.. So i sketched an angry eye and filled it with the magic inks.

On the sketch book


I wasn't too satisfied with my sketch... Then i recalled during my army days, how we were using typewriters to type letters and how inreversible they are.... when computer with wordperfect was introduced later, it brought wonderful surprises to everyone... work were then able to be saved, reversed, erased.... and things just got easier, quicker and more perfect.

So I scanned this sketch into the computer, get a stylus pen and an artist software, and started to work on my very first computer art piece. It wasn't as difficult as i thought, and with the beauty of computer, i was able to reverse any single error and made the work more perfect. I thought the outcome was definitely many times better than the one i got on my sketch book.. :P

Computer art piece - Rage

Rage - The Daishonin wrote "Hell is a dreadful dwelling of fire" ("Letter to Niike", WND, pg 1026), and those who reside there experience pain and suffering, as if dwelling in the midst of fire. Also, in the above passage, he wrote, "Rage is the world of Hell." Rage here is characterized as frustration over one's complete loss of control as well as an extreme hatred for one's surroundings; this only intensifies an indivdual's suffering. Doomed to a constant state of agony, those in the world of hell can do nothing except wallow in their rage. The world of hell, then, is one of unmitigated misery, and whatever one experiences in that state only adds to his or her suffering.
