Ryan, I'm sure the c-index will improve as more people view your work :) I'm impressed with this design, especially being from scratch, and I'm sure others will be too. Well shown blasts of super glow. Terrific explosion of wild lines and the colours give out plenty of energy for bending reality!
You have a good gallery going, and keep these images coming!
it's your best one yet. C-Index's suck, especially for computer images. Go ahead and complain if you want, it's the absolute truth...people here have no idea what a good non-photographic work of art looks like. Sorry.
