Used the same Plant Factory technique here that I developed for Oddball, Boardwalk, and Park Place to update one of my favorite renders from 1998. The main goal here was to keep the minimal look of the original but also look like it was created in the 21st century.
Pickle Jar Variations what's this?

I made a pink render of this with GIMP by adjusting the hue and lowering the saturation. It looks surprisingly good. I recommend it. [I'm wondering if my mind is creating a link between the pink fog/black cables aesthetic here and those goo-filled pods in the Matrix.]

I think green and pink are my favorite versions of this work.

The nice thing about monochromatic abstract art is that it's effortless to create alternative and equally good renditions.

"This is awesome"
I love the design and colors you picked. I also love the little man meditating in the middle. Having dual screens for these colors would be the bomb!

"dual screen pickles?"
Hey Ryan, can we get some dual screen pickle jar versions please. Maybe a quick poll to choose a colour, and then go with blue if that's not the winner!!!!! Did I indicate my preference there?

Sorry about that! The dual 5K should be there now.

"Missing dual-screen 5K"
@Ryan: Could you please add the missing 10240x2880 dual-screen resolution? (The triple-screen version is there, so I assume it's a simple oversight.) Thanks.

"Loving the color choices!!"
One more request? Maybe Multiscreens with the color variations also

"blue?"
Can you make this in red? Or blue? Various colors like how you used to do. Like how you did with the bioluminescent mushroom one forever ago

Reminds me of the Original Xbox startup screen/animation.

"The orange is good"
OK, they're all good. But the orange for some reason stands out.

Can I rate this 11? Love the 1998 original too!

Good idea! I've added a couple but might try a few more...

"A good candidate for alternate colors"
While this is a solid abstract work, I wonder if an alternate color other than green would be better. Classic colors like red and blue could be tried, but maybe something darker would be better. That's the vibe I get from this.



Keep up the good work, Mr. Bliss!

"I know just where to put this"
It goes on my admin desktop with all the others that have no discernable connection to reality.



Or it will as soon as there's a 7680x2160 version.

"eeh"
I actually prefer the original over this one. But I do get where you were going with this one.I guess it's just to abstract for my tastes, but of course it's still going in my DB collection.

"Brought back a classic!"
I've been hoping a long time for a remake of Lotus, so I'm thrilled to see this. Fantastic work! I kind of miss the smooth polished metal appearance of the original, but the new spin on it adds a lot of depth and just looks awesome.

"nice update"

"LOVE THIS ONE!!!"
Ryan, your abstracts have always been my favorite for desktop backgrounds. I absolutely love this one! Multi-screen versions are needed for this masterpiece! Agree with others on some color variations as well.



The "photos" and scenes that you create are amazing as well and usually trick some people into thinking it's a photo. I love the abstracts because there's no preconceived notion of what is supposed to be there.

"The new Lotus"
I've been away for awhile, but when I went through my email and saw this I had to take a closer look. I remember downloading the original Lotus back in 1999 when I first signed up. This new rendering is amazing. Keep up.tje amazing work!!

"Love the Minimal Style"
I hate asking for requests because I don't know how long something like that takes to render. But this would be a great one with a bunch of different color options for the pickle jar.
