I don't remember this at all. Oh well, might as well add some stuff to it.<br />
<br />
I was working on some stuff this weekend, trying to get myself back in the swing of things. Specifically I was looking into doing a style that would allow 3d renders, photographs and sketches to live together as a single style. Oh, and it should be somewhat easy to do and also not look too stiff. And look cool.<br />
<br />
But that's not how it started. It /started/ with me looking at some of my old stuff I never finished and seeing if I could bring 'em to finish. One didn't work out, but this second one went well. And, using a new style I figured out, I think it came out pretty well. Here's the picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj__vE7Nd16r-4nlid5l2SAHmaSGLpRRM45HF6WACzULvccazJOzSCxUCnBcIN7VYLldTCbyYdriC2fOEdj72fx1Vk_66zOChqvgaAHt5_5BrXc978GN71s14bEUz7Gggx_j06GOMDk14g/s1600/nightlight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj__vE7Nd16r-4nlid5l2SAHmaSGLpRRM45HF6WACzULvccazJOzSCxUCnBcIN7VYLldTCbyYdriC2fOEdj72fx1Vk_66zOChqvgaAHt5_5BrXc978GN71s14bEUz7Gggx_j06GOMDk14g/s400/nightlight.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm actually pretty happy with it. It's a picture I started working on about a year ago but I never took it to final. Specifically I wanted to give a feeling of both a constricted area, but one full of life and color. Anyway the style I used to break up sheer toon-shaded CG is a combination of Photoshop filters. You can see it more in my next picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDe6zFceBLuIWOL_NrtVt4fOZvjXG_iQ_nnE9UelOpy1iDoKRTcygbxGTDsqK2_krW8OaT15becVKsP6GWdgDovZq39EhZb5RXCe0ZCGT2kKhMwuWu8ALVdvKpPCxAZ5ULJFF1iRye_o/s1600/asakasa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDe6zFceBLuIWOL_NrtVt4fOZvjXG_iQ_nnE9UelOpy1iDoKRTcygbxGTDsqK2_krW8OaT15becVKsP6GWdgDovZq39EhZb5RXCe0ZCGT2kKhMwuWu8ALVdvKpPCxAZ5ULJFF1iRye_o/s400/asakasa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It's basically using multiple layers using the cutout filter with various settings. It ends up giving me something that hopefully looks more like a woodcut and less like a toon shader or a simple photograph (BTW, this is a picture I took in Japan in 1999. Almost everything done to it is done with filters, as opposed to touching it up by hand).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oFMtkzUJz2PsQQqFRhtuVQjY6zQzpcHhbtn3I9UiMHTHZTyfM9Hs_lWb81DKhCMvl-4nhNU32qzdcLA6CMpfr6ICXCVtvX5UQkEs7vpsebCk5X8dOpzkF1qE3hRCuznbzXcHTEMsSzg/s1600/yosemite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oFMtkzUJz2PsQQqFRhtuVQjY6zQzpcHhbtn3I9UiMHTHZTyfM9Hs_lWb81DKhCMvl-4nhNU32qzdcLA6CMpfr6ICXCVtvX5UQkEs7vpsebCk5X8dOpzkF1qE3hRCuznbzXcHTEMsSzg/s400/yosemite.jpg" width="266" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now this one I definitely touched up. It's one of the waterfalls in Yosemite. After running the filters over the photograph, I drew over it in Photoshop to add in details and make areas more clearly understood. Then I added a bit of blur to a faded layer and increased the contrast to give the overall picture a bit more of a glow. I just wanted enough to make the picture be a bit more unified, and I think it worked. What's more, it was rather fun to do.</div>

Lastly I did what I did before to this other picture from Japan. It was a room I stayed in in a Buddhist temple , and it was really wonderful place. I added outlines and details to get rid of some of the filter's artifacts and also to give it more of a hand-illustrated look. <br />
<br />
Overall I'm pretty happy with how this is working out. This style is allowing me to be fairly flexible in how I use it, and if I get some other pictures I like, I'll be sure to put em up here.Rinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17880726614574815325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495559110780641063.post-5204088963244056432010-07-11T06:35:00.000-07:002010-07-11T06:43:38.840-07:00Watercolor GirlIt's been awhile since I did any watercolors, so I thought I'd give it a try. Watercolors are such a strange medium. First of all, you're allowed really no mistakes, or at least no major ones. And second, it's all a matter of calculation and then rapid painting... at least if you want some nice, flat colored areas. In other words, it's a very different way of doing art then the usual digital method. What I wouldn't give for save points (though I did a couple of intermediate scans so I'd have at least something if I messed up the picture).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3FOss4y-V64ZC2LVEkkFSRcTaHoQ9ZmvGB2DDuVArC3jB_ImHBMJQghPDuu7VYZz1jjTBlKCRlYRq0E8Nmr2hZYVd30-Dmy1J4neXRSiueMoLgfYvOP1zBLeK8r-743Xro9q04I0zGvc/s1600/watercolor-red2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3FOss4y-V64ZC2LVEkkFSRcTaHoQ9ZmvGB2DDuVArC3jB_ImHBMJQghPDuu7VYZz1jjTBlKCRlYRq0E8Nmr2hZYVd30-Dmy1J4neXRSiueMoLgfYvOP1zBLeK8r-743Xro9q04I0zGvc/s400/watercolor-red2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492643799531165058" border="0" /></a><br />Overall, it took me about four hours.

The bottle of the right turned out nice (carving is always a nerve wracking experience. I can't tell you how many I've broken doing that). The one on the right was an experiment that didn't quite work on the front, but I think the back worked out fine.

Sort of a modular building block set made of of ceramics. I think if I wanted to continue it, I'd make the pieces a bit more organic. Also there would be bridge pieces, rock walls, buildings with larger footprints, etc. In the short term I think I'm done now, and I'm going to work on some other projects.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir7xs_JQ8c7XEB3Fx5bBuSJ-o3rAGEWukg4lD_2IQXsUP494vWO5bad3eIbl_TtJb6D33reouutygdz8sWKeTIj41BbliKvTEU3uyQCdSK2cZ1or2RsvO-U0z6s5_yVDQaErYuQUT_KOk/s1600-h/village-02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir7xs_JQ8c7XEB3Fx5bBuSJ-o3rAGEWukg4lD_2IQXsUP494vWO5bad3eIbl_TtJb6D33reouutygdz8sWKeTIj41BbliKvTEU3uyQCdSK2cZ1or2RsvO-U0z6s5_yVDQaErYuQUT_KOk/s400/village-02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422218342321200770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLGuC7uK9L2DvmgHGn35s7K0Z7KluF30c1OM9hjUXQPh3g2hEULV3kwO0zn17VoyXeTUC_WNP0EADndUr81KOYtQoQ0NwULtRaCpssEGNm7c6WF0YQyMaesi6zO2W4wOzAaYLvnBR8Ao/s1600-h/village-01.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLGuC7uK9L2DvmgHGn35s7K0Z7KluF30c1OM9hjUXQPh3g2hEULV3kwO0zn17VoyXeTUC_WNP0EADndUr81KOYtQoQ0NwULtRaCpssEGNm7c6WF0YQyMaesi6zO2W4wOzAaYLvnBR8Ao/s400/village-01.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422218190509627074" border="0" /></a>Rinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17880726614574815325noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495559110780641063.post-74576363036528316992009-12-28T19:27:00.000-08:002009-12-28T19:33:02.968-08:00Mini-house and tree!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPXSTHirMpxdQEX5Z1hvtJKTnx9gpV66XQ67WQtgxEtvlmtUQ3fxUmWuNiZQPC8aJb3JUj-QNfErEhfdp0LhkdorT-_qpCVkOPN-UCu8GnHVYdZeTBc8Sx1cF8tcWjDIsZTd3cY2e6qjg/s1600-h/house&tree.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPXSTHirMpxdQEX5Z1hvtJKTnx9gpV66XQ67WQtgxEtvlmtUQ3fxUmWuNiZQPC8aJb3JUj-QNfErEhfdp0LhkdorT-_qpCVkOPN-UCu8GnHVYdZeTBc8Sx1cF8tcWjDIsZTd3cY2e6qjg/s400/house&tree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420495443681557554" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a view of some stuff I've been working on. It's a nifty idea which I'll go into when I have more pieces, but here's an in-progress. Both of these are cast pottery, the house being cast by a four piece mold.

I react several ways to art. It usually goes like this. At the lowest scale I think '<span style="font-style: italic;">Good for them, they're trying to do art.</span>' Stick figures and such fit here. In increasing level of skill, it goes: '<span style="font-style: italic;">Ow, that's not good at all</span>' '<span style="font-style: italic;">Someone needs to work on their skills</span>' '<span style="font-style: italic;">Eh, not bad.</span>' '<span style="font-style: italic;">Huh, this has possibilities.</span>' '<span style="font-style: italic;">Very nice</span>' and '<span style="font-style: italic;">Dammit, that just makes me angry. ANGRY!</span>'<br />
<br />
Here are the artists who make me jealous and frustrated, even as I admire their work.<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud"><br /></a><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud">Moebius</a> </span>-<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Ah<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Moebius...also known as Jean Giraud<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> Probably my favorite artist. His work is incredibly imaginative, very well drawn with a clean, fluid line that makes even a scribble of his something to admire. He's mostly known as a comic book artist, though he's done a lot of design work for various movies. Ever since I discovered him, I've had his work up on my walls, and even after all these years, I love him to death. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><a href="http://tksn.web.infoseek.co.jp/">Imperial Boy</a></span> </span>- <span style="font-size: 85%;">帝 国 少 年</span> - Here's an artist I only found out about recently. I first saw his stuff in a manga anthology called 'Robot', and thank goodness his name (well, nickname) was in English. Because of that I was able to find his website...and his stuff is simply amazing. Mostly his art is cityscapes, though I really have to admire how he spends times designing even the smallest pieces of his environments. His main page doesn't show a whole lot of his stuff, but I was able to find <a href="http://imperialboyimages.tumblr.com/">this page</a>...and it's full of artistic goodness.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><a href="http://www.billsienkiewiczart.com/">Bill Sienkiewicz</a></span> </span>- Ah, Sienkiewicz. If Moebius isn't my favorite artist, it's Sienkiewicz. Just thinking about him makes me sad. I first discovered him when he was doing the art for New Mutants. He was supposed to have done stuff before that, but New Mutants is where he really shined. His work was...frantic, full of energy, full of fire, yet showed an incredibly strong artistic foundation. His stuff didn't look like the current art at the time; in some ways it owed a lot more to earlier illustrators. And that's just his black and white work. His paintings were very experimental, with angular outlines, forced perspective, and collage elements that several artists at the time tried to copy, but no one was able to capture his look. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>He went on to do a lot of great stuff, especially 'Elektra: Assassin' with Frank Miller and his own mini-series, Stray Toasters. Then... he pretty much disappeared. And just when he was about to do something that I think could have been one of the best comics ever made. It was a series called 'Big Numbers', and was written by Alan Moore. Some people say Sienkiewicz got too overwelmed by Moore's notoriously long and detailed panel descriptions, but I've read some things that indicate it's more complicated than that. Still...it breaks my heart to think of what could have been, and I miss seeing his artwork in comics. He still does things from time to time, but honestly it doesn't seem his heart's in it. <br />
