Streak Club is a place for hosting and participating in creative streaks.
Today I:
- removed the piece from the stretcher
- trimmed it (a bit too much it turns out)
- scanned it (took three tries. It was bent and hence blurry, then there was too much dust on the glass)
- scaled it in GIMP
- used the clone tool to get back to the proper aspect ratio
- switched to the PC and Photoshop to switch to CYMK because Gimp doesn't support it.......
- and sent the whole thing to the Bomber's Notebook zine!
Attached is the final CYMK file. We'll see if I make it in, that would be really nice :)
Got some idea bouncing around in my head involving silk fabric and thread, and dye. Watercolour doodles trying to get it figured out. Needs iterating and non-crap paper. Don't buy Montval if you like heavy washes, kiddos. 100% cotton or go home
Modo got frustrating today so picked up ye olde watercolour box instead. Cotman on mini-canvas gesso'd with watercolour ground
Today:
- Profile swiping to create a vase
- Merging edges. No built-in merge for loops :(
- Double-sided material
- Import an object from another scene
- I have no idea what I'm doing with the rendering options. I know the words well but they don't behave in a way I understand...
Finished, rendered as turntable, and bundled in a GIF for your animated viewing pleasure. Ugly banding caused by GIF format limitations.
More Modo. I like it a lot, but I'm a modeling noob so I can't quite figure our how to extrude the last of the tip. Teapot because I'm still a graphics coder at heart after all!
Long time no see, Streak. I blame the apartment move. But now I have a nice dedicated room for arting and crafting! Here's my first Modo render, from the tutorial (http://modo.docs.thefoundry.co.uk/modo/801/help/pages/gettingstarted/BeginnerTutorial.html). Getting the grain out took some bruteforcing, and it's still not gone. And the tutorial was written for 601 even though the pictures are up-to-date. So the render view doesn't have the third viewport mentionned in the text anymore.
I have too much to do this week-end and will not be able to finish a game, but I have some vague idea of a fireworks-building game. So I fired up inkscape to make some pieces.
(For the long hiccup, you can blame Bloodborne)
After a hiccup for Revision, here's the start of page 6! Need to finish up the songbird miniatures tomorrow :) I think I finally managed to represent the bouncing cycle decently
I finished it after midnight yesterday so it counts, right? :) It's just too cute not to share.
It's a double french joke. April's Fools is April's Fish in France for some reason, and it's traditional to make paper fishes and stick them on people's backs. That, and there's a saying about April: "En Avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil" (In April, don't uncover yourself from a single thread), referring to how unpredictable the weather tends to be. I'm surprised Sweden has no such saying, because it snowed this very morning.
Anyhow. Cue silly rhyme, fish in a sweater, and some very nice paint lifting on the fins :D
