Adobe Aero – First Attempts

As a reward for doing too much work too quickly, I got the privilege of downloading and learning another AR interface. Now, this, I’m excited about. When I get back to uni tomorrow, I’ll try and make my work brief-responsive. Or recreate my work from artivive in the Aero interface. There are a couple ofContinue reading “Adobe Aero – First Attempts”

Sprained Ankle – Process Exploration

What’s not very clever? Attempting to climb down slick concrete steps to the seafront when it’s pitch dark. But if you’ve got a huge crush on the guy you’re with, you might not be thinking straight. Actually, the thought of sitting by the sea with an attractive man in the dark might seem like aContinue reading “Sprained Ankle – Process Exploration”

Curves Tutorial

The big caveat and danger with using photos like scans is that you HAVE to make sure your photo is a high quality, and use natural lighting to get it as flat as possible before interfering. I made this tutorial because I realised suddenly that the feather tool in Procreate is absolutely perfect for unevenlyContinue reading “Curves Tutorial”

I Wanna Be Handsome

I had the idea to create a reel to that audio that’s going around – “I wanna be handsome, I wanna be pretty”. The convention is that people show themselves – or their characters, or whoever – looking good in clothes for both genders. I’ve had this audio saved for probably a year, and nowContinue reading “I Wanna Be Handsome”

I Know It All

This is about to be a compilation of work on the same topical thread. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about Techo right at the beginning of my plot starting. Techo’s big character streak is that she’s optimistic, positive, sunshiney. But this was hard learned: first, she suffers a particularly bad breakup in February ofContinue reading “I Know It All”

Studio Work – Sign Here and Papercraft

Today was slightly manic. I got my “fire eating paper” thing to work in the artivive software, and I’ll throw my attempts together because I’m trying to evidence problem solving here. What happened is, the green is super artifacty, and the transparency thing doesn’t work particularly well. So I had to dumb down my ideas,Continue reading “Studio Work – Sign Here and Papercraft”

Pottery!

This week was throwing heavy. I trimmed and attached a handle to a little jug I threw last week too. I absolutely love pulling my own handles. I actually dropped my handle into the bowl of water and had to fish it out, but it survived. On my Christmas present grind now – just churningContinue reading “Pottery!”

Artivive: First Experiments

I made up another loose newsprint sketchbook, read back through the original text, and started brainstorming. For me, brainstorming is as much about the words as it is about the pictures. I will include a flip through or something similar once my notebook is full. Jamie suggested office paraphernalia being the trigger image, and IContinue reading “Artivive: First Experiments”

Lo-Fi Printmaking: Composition

Today we looked at composition, using cool letters. I made a video that you can pause and sift through or enjoy in its wholeness. The true reason I embed this is because wordpress has very strict media limits on blogs, and it was about 100mb of photos down to 0mb in an embedded video. Clever!Continue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: Composition”

In this outfit?

Little reel I threw together yesterday I feel good about the speed with which I can conceptualise and make functioning ideas these days.
