Couldn't do much today, but did varnish the frame. A few tips for using spray varnish:
1) Elbow-height gloves or similar if you have to hold your piece. A plastic bag can do.
2) No front-facing wind. Or, say, random gusts because you're doing this on a balcony towards an inner yard. Will avoid varnishing face, glasses, hair, arms. More seriously, don't breathe that stuff, and watch out for turning winds.
3) It says 30 centimeters away from the piece for a reason. If you hold it closer because you're bad at estimating distances, it will create puddles and dropplets that you'll have to clean up while fresh.
4) Masking tape is your friend.
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.
Based on a silly Japanese mobile game. Ref picture attached :
Watercolours and ink on mini-canvas (5cm) primed witth watercolour ground
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)
Still not enough time to finish
Had a busy evening so barely any progress today
Started too late again, so just did the text and rough sketching of the miniatures.
Done! Was just the passerine miniatures left plus some blank space.
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
And done!
Started a tad too late, will finish tomorrow. I blame Dark Souls and Risk of Rain.
Somehow I got Spyro to NOT look stupid
It still looked a bit bland after the colors so I got the gold watercolor tube out

Hi Lia-Sae,
I like the look of this :)
I hope you are okay with me trying to capture it in inkscape for today: love
