This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Thank you so much! Yes, the color comes from alterations from light reflection. It's difficult to describe, but the changes in color you get from viewing angle aren't as strong as what you get from a soap bubble, but they are definitely there. If you think of the colors you can get from this process in a spectrum, viewing angle can give you about a half step up or half step down. The spectrum runs from: tan, brown, deep blue, light blue, yellow, magenta, light blue again, purple, green, pearl scent.
I've found lighting makes a huge difference though - diffuse lighting like what I have around the house is great. I've got some prints hanging in a gallery that only has spot lights, for those you have to make sure there is a path for the light to bounce off the spotlight into your eyes or the whole print just looks faded and grey.
