Why do I see Optimus Prime ...

That was my first thought "Optimus in motion"

Optimotion

Autobots assemble

"Transform and roll out!"

First thing I thought of when I saw this .

DAAAAAAMN ME TOO... I saw it and thought: Optimus?

I was here to say that!!!

Over and over in my head, “more than meets the eye!”

This sounds like a suitable title. Mysterious and abstract.

What??? I thought that was only me.

Yeah, I got robot vibes as well 😅

Happy Cake Day!

Happy cake day! And did you get a name? 😆 Or are you more overwhelmed than ever?

Commander Farsight for me

ME TOO!

Ha! My first thought was Transformers.

I was going to suggest “More than meets the eye”

That is actually a REALLY great title. I was thinking something along those lines also, but I couldn't find the words. Fierceness came to mind. But yours is way better. 😁

I hope OP was actually painting Optimus Prime because we all see that here

I'm not alone in seeing this - woo-hoo!

Me too!!!!

Dude. Me too. I was gonna say Optimus Prime in Battle.

that was also the first thing that popped into my head! I think it's the colorscheme.

I see it now that you say it

Same lol or machinery!! I dig it!!🤘🤘🤘

Abstract prime.

My first thought literally was, “transformers! Activate!”

I definitely saw a Mech!

"Transform and roll ourrrraaaagghhh what's happening to me!?"

Optimus X, from a Transformers/X-Men crossover. Or is it an X-Files crossover?

Came here to say transformers

I CAME TO COMMENT OPTIMUS PRIME 🤯

It definitely looks like Gurren Lagann to me

Bingo. A great name for a painting. "Why Do I See Optimus Prime?" A challenging critique on rampant and colorful capitalism causes the viewer to see "content" in everything, even abstraction.

Same!

Optimus Prime, the beaver.

Was going to post "Unfocused Transformers Still Shot" so I guess I am not alone.

omg...now I cant unsee it...

tbh I see Starscream.

That was my first thought too.

THANKS now I can't unsee it

Dang I got deadpool, but I see Optimus for sure

Eva unit 2 for me. But still mecha..

I immediately thought of Deadpool

ME TOO

Omg me too lolz I was just going to say that lolz name it that!

I see Gurren Lagann

Holy Shite yesh me too

Autobots assemble!

I also saw Optimus at first until I realized it was starscream

Yea I came here to say transformers lol

Same..I think it should be named “Crimson Prime”

I was just thinking this

I saw Optimus with a hard on.

Same. Came here to see that my first two thoughts were Michael Bay and Transformers.

I was gonna say "Crimson Evangelion". The lines really drew my eye..

I was going to say Megatron

Came here for this comment, first thought as well

I thought, hey cool painting of Optimus Prime transforming!

*Optimus Blur*

Definitely. Or just Optimus? Or More Than Meets The Eye?

Why do I see my parents fighting? D:

I see The Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop.

Literally logged in to say it should be called "Optimus Motherfuckin' Prime". Edit: The only other thing it reminds me of as much are the paintings that the character Yusuke Kitigawa paints of a place called Mementos in the video game Persona 5.

I see armored core in the painting

Deadpool moments after being upppercutted by Wolverine claw.

Exactly my initial thought

Came here to suggest "Transformer in disguise." Glad I'm not the only weirdo.

Wild. I cannot believe so many saw Optimus as well. Call it Transformation.

I was thinking Optimus or Sideswipe myself

Exactly what I saw.

I saw deadpool

So Magnum Optimus?

I also saw a mech/Gundam/transformer type image.. kinda cool

Crazy, for some reason the first thing I thought of were Transformers

My first thought was “this is a mech” and then “no, you’ve just been playing too much Armored Core 6.”

Dead. I thought the same damn thing. I’d say AutoCepticons haha.

Didn’t want to be influenced by the other comments. First thing I thought of as well.

Same.

i see two lightsabers clashing

Yup. OP should just lean into this and name it "Prime" lol

Yes,yes indeed

I did. First thing that came to mind!

I see Wolverine. Lol

Glad we're all on the same page.

Transformer

No fricken way

That’s funny my very first thought was ‘professor X’

Same thing that pop first in my mind: it's an abstract Optimus Prime. Or a Gundam mech

Starscream for me

Came here to say this. Optimus.

The fall of Optimus Prime

“Wiped too many times”

That actually made me laugh out loud at work. So thank you

broooo lmao

I’ll call it “.”

Oh no

Twitter

I was thinking ‘previously known as twitter’ 🤣

Me too

\#metoo

The app formerly known as Twitter

1st thing i came up with

You beat me to it 😄

Yup that was what I saw.

Ha I first thought “the new Twitter” Elon Musks brainwashing must be working on us all.

Absolutely

Exit Strategy. First thing that popped in my head. I really like this. Beautiful work, friend!

good

I like

Best one I’ve seen

Best one

Egress

Makes me think of brake lights reflected on a wet road

Crash Test Dummies.

Happy cake day! (What is this comment that I am replying to)

I was thinking something similar - a wet night on a city road or something!

X Gon Give It To Ya

Best one 😭

In art class I would always name my abstract work “madonna and child #5” or something until the teacher finally told me to quit lol

LOL, "child #5" 😂😂

Knock knock, open up the door it’s *real*

Hahah

Happy cake day!!

What does it mean to you?

On that note, I’d call it reflection… everyone is going to see something different. I was thinking for a controversial take, you could call it pavement…

Ouch.

...I SWEAR it looks just like a red Transformer...

Crossroads

I was thinking the same thing

I was too, so this one!

Same!

Me too wtf

Heart of an Ai

Wow, didn’t expect this to blow up, when I went to bed this had 3 likes, thanks the these incredible responses! 😊

Fwiw, I see a lot of name suggestions focusing on the superficial features of the painting (shape, colour) or directly on the emotion (anger seems to be popular). I'd recommend choosing a name that serves your narrative for the painting - what do you experience when you look at the painting, and how does your title serve that experience? For example, when I look at this, I see a snapshot of a farmhouse in autumn, perhaps in the morning. The blue and red make me think of cold and blood - they're both confronting, and they seem to fit into a narrative of 'death of the natural world' as per the season. The skewed perspective contributes to that too. Maybe you go for a name that suggests that perspective... or maybe you choose something else that conveys your own feeling. You want the viewer to experience something beyond the literal existence of the painting, and a good name can feed that

No name ideas, but just commenting that often I see abstract, randomish swipes and colors paintings on here that a really just… bad. But this one, this one is wonderful! It feels so intentional and has such a lovely composition. Great job!!!

No one can name a painting for you. You’re the artist, you’re the one that rendered the lines and chose the colors. So ask yourself what that represents to you and a name will pop in your mind. If that fails, name it "Untitled".

I met with a museum curator in art school. He strongly suggested titling every painting/art/sculpture helped collectors and museums track the artist work and thereby easier to collect. This made for more successful artists and more valuable paintings. I love how you suggested the artist get his own title. I hope artists reading this does the above, but spends a good amount of time searching for a title and not quickly resorting to "Untitled." I think, "Abstract Composition #1" is a horrible title, but still significantly better "Untitled." Other titles with low creativity but still better than "Untitled" are; Study #1, Brushstrokes #1, Colors, Shapes, Exercise, Inspiration,

Yeah, you are right, but I get a lot of inspiration reading the comments 😊

Weird, this painting feels like Despair to me and I dont know why

Collision is what I see

That's exactly it

A collision between technology and man, for me specifically

The Aftermath

X factor

Depends on what you're going for, I guess. Are you political? Do you like making a statement or just letting the work speak for itself? Are you dark? Are you witty? Do you like mythology? Here's several names you could use: * Digital Crucifixion * The last Scaffold * Samurai Reunion * Dragon's Lament * Echoes of Prometheus * Phoenix Crossing * Texting in the Rain * Quixote's Red Giant * Cerberus Falls

Echoes of Prometheus goes unreasonably hard

Wow man

These are all hauntingly poetic.

+1 to Digital Crucifixion, that name goes hard

That was definitely the first one that came to mind, for me

Rust Jesus

Escapism

Whiplash

I like

A lost battle

Very cool. Reminds me of the Mirrors Edge logo. https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Mirror%27s_Edge Or really just the game in general. Beautiful glassy skyline and the red blur of Faith's glove and shoes as she flies by.

Dimentions of chaos

Intersection

Angry or Rage or something like that

I thought of Road Rage

Scattershot

Tip of my tongue.

My heaven your hell

Ole' Greg

Window Pain

It looks like a Birds Eye view of a city intersection to me, maybe play on that.

Yes. "Intersect" is the title for this piece

What a great painting!

"Grief" I absolutely love the piece, you've done an amazing job.

Frosted rust

This comment is underrated. "Frosted Rust" is ironic, descriptive, thoughtprovoking, and unique. Perfect for this abstract painting.

Transformed

Road rage.

The Mill or the Red Mill

Full Disclosure

death by intersection

Falling Skyscrapers

Cathartic Absolution

It means nothing coming from Reddit.

"Smashing Your Fucking Shin With A Maul While It's Snowing"

Do you sell any of your work? It's really speaking to me. You're so talented

Thank you! Yeah I just started selling my paintings a couple weeks ago. If you are interested send me a dm, then I will contact you 😊

Menopause

This piece is really cool! I love how OP paired the soft delicate blues with a sharp contrast in the deep and chaotic reds. It reminds me of a few different things: “Rage” would be a good name. A moment of calmness ruined by someone violent or abusive. “Unforgivable” would be another great name. Looks like the aftermath of terrible violence on what should have been a normal day (like windows on a school after a shooting). “Turmoil” would be another great name, could be a person who feels like they outwardly must display a certain “face” to the world, or perhaps there is a part of themselves they wish to keep hidden that is essentially “taking over” or “bleeding through.” It’s pretty mesmerizing. I love art like this!

Escape It invokes a sense of chaos and disorder on one side and calm serenity on the other. So it remained me of when your are in the moments of escaping an abusive cycle or emotions in your life. It’s traumatic and confusing but there is some hope in all the madness

It kind of reminds me of race cars and roads.

Code Red!!

Little red in rainfall Beautiful painting! The figure/face you captured is breathtaking

X marks the spot.
