Alchemy - It's like Ink Blot Images for Artistic "Mental Block" Patients

Alchemy is something I found while following a Blender Project called Sintel.

Check it out here: Sintel Blender Project
 

It it's own right you should check it out, as it is a beautiful artwork created entirely with the Blender software (a completely free open source 3d application) . Blender is a slow bubbling revolution for the digital artist, it is something that has made the big name software developers wake up and realise they can't corner the market with over priced software),  Gimp was also used in creating Sintel (A great FREE alternative to Photoshop), as well as Alchemy.

Alchemy is really a cool application based on cognitive interpretation. You draw with different brushes what resembles a mess and you interpret what you will of it. With Practice and control (and time), you can sculpt really advanced designs, whether it be for characters, vehicles or just when you have a mental block and need some inspiration.

Check out Alchemy here: Alchemy

Here is the progress image of the result of my first use of Alchemy late one night after work.
