I've always wondered about that "indy art" tag. I mean what, really, is indy art? By definition it is independent art, so by that logic isn't everything (except that portion of the art world with financial backing) "indy art?" Just something to think about.
I like most of it. Visually it's very interesting. And to anyone who has asked what I mean when I say art should have purpose, here is a solid example. Tim can explain in a few sentences what he wants this to say. I think much of the color is fine, but I do agree that in some cases it's a bit harsh. There is a very nice contrast with the straight panelled lines and the curves throughout. I have a few issues though. First, which is really no ones fault, the size is kind of awkward on a regular monitor. That's not a good or a bad thing, it's just that I don't think any of us can get a real look at the work because we can't see the whole thing at one time at full size. Other that printing it out (which will compromise your work already with color-balances), I can't get complete perspective on it. My second issue is with the text. I don't necessarily think that you need the text in the piece. Since this isn't a piece focused on text, to put some there simply to state the title and url seems unnecessary. This is one of the few cases where I think that a small bar at the bottom with the simple information may serve the work better. If you are hell bent on keeping the text, I think you'd be better off making the entire "V2" fade as opposed to just the V. The way it rams up against "exploding aura" is visually uncomfortable. With the URL I would suggest either aligning it with the title and making it the same width as the title line or changing the width/alignment more to emphasize the difference. The last thing is that small boxy graphic thing you've got goin in the upper right quadrant. I think it's too white. All I can say is fiddle with it, you've got a good eye, you'll know what looks right.
