3D Painting

This is my feeding ant. Created in Lightwave 3D and painted it 3D Coat. I had a problematic time. 8 crushes computer crushes. 4 before starting and 4 more during the design process.

I had to literally paint on my sketchpad and reproduce the brush stroke in Illustrator. It worked really good. The name of the brush is Mostroke. I would have wanted to use the graphic tab but I cant check it out and work from the comfort of my bed. Its all good, probably Brian will have something to say or ask, like "does your girlfriend have a giraffe for a pet?" Michael Jackson had that and by the way, I stole the line from his track Liberian Girl and made it 'Nairobian Girl'. Instead of '...I love you Liberian Girl...', I have '...I love you Nairobian Girl...'

You might be wondering what the girls in that track mean by, '...Nakupenda pia, nakutaka pia mpenzi we...' That is Swahili for, '...I love you too, I want you too, my love...' :)

Photoshop Brush

Like its predecessors, the brushes used here were created in Illustrator. I used the PNG version of the brush to create a Photoshop brush. I took the pendant light in the State Building of Olympia, WA.

Photoshop Brush

I created these bubbles in Illustrator. This photo shows a father handing over Seattle or the Space Needle to the son (according to my framing of the picture). Probably the mum/wife is taking care of laundry nearby, or father and son were just playing with foam before the serious handing over moment. I do not understand why they do not have clothes on, but according to my ancient culture, this kid is damned because there are some things you are never supposed to see!

Bubble Photoshop Brush

I created the bubbles in Illustrator, made a PNG out of the file and created a brush out of it in Photoshop. I took this picture somewhere in Tulalip, WA.
