Sadly, this is not a crossover episode with Harry Potter, though it does have a lot of the “boys and girls dating” intrigue that you might find in, say, a Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

First of all, Geordi has a crush on a LADY, which means he’s going to make a fool of...

Well, here is the finished CYOP project. In the end I omitted the people but hopefully the images tell enough of an interesting story.

Well, this project is due soon and so there will not be any giant leaps from where these images stand now. I've been noodling with them, adding details. I've got a few more planned details to add, and then I'll be trying to overall balance out the colors and values in the images to please my eye. I think that I will end up omitting the people, and in doing so I find that the bottom portion of the image is a little empty, so I think I will crop them both to better frame just the vehicle itself. I tend to enjoy non standard image proportions anyway, so that should suit it just fine.

Well, here's the latest on this project. I discovered that my people painting skills are not up to par, and that experience and comfort in Photoshop transport poorly to GIMP. Needless to say, I've altered my game plan a bit. I will no longer be hand painting all of my art assets for these two images.

As you can see in the images here, I've added some photo textures as well as photos of real people. Well, I'm not sure how I like having the real people in my images so they may get cut before the final version is done, but I'm certainly enjoying fiddling around with the photo textures.

The trick is getting the textures to pack just the right punch. You want them to be noticeable but not overpowering from the rest of the image. I play quite a bit around with the layer style and opacity to get the right look, not to mention the transform tools to get everything to size and in perspective. The channel selection of the shape of the helicopter is invaluable here, allowing me to quickly delete anything outside the shape of the helicopter. I have also made a channel selection of just the windshield, allowing my to delete that from within the helicopter selection.

I'm going to be adding some more textures and painting in some of my own details, and then it will be time to do some overall adjusting to each image to make it look just right. They're almost done now.

CYOP Progress

I've been making some progress on my Choose Your Own Project work. I've gotten the base colors set for both images that I'm working on and have started blocking in the people that are in the foreground of each image. Once those people are blocked in and I'm happy with their placement, then it will only be a matter of refining the images to a general level of detail. In my opinion, the detail is the hardest part and I've been dragging my feet a bit in anticipation of digging in to those details. However, overall I'd say that progress is coming along well.

Halloween Sketch

I made a Halloween game. Move your mouse to move the cursor, press Spacebar to fire. The game can be found here.

#CSCI 107

Here is my current progress on the CYOP project. The top image is becoming a Vietnam style photo which will eventually have the crew of the aircraft standing around giving thumbs up to the camera and whatnot. The bottom image is becoming a photo of the same aircraft in a museum, years later. It will be very shot up, and an old man with his grandchild will be standing in front of the aircraft.

The images are meant to be viewed together, and evoke some emotion surrounding war and how things age.

This is my final design for the CSCI 107 Sticker Project

#CSCI 107

Well, I have taken my exported images from SketchUp and begun playing in GIMP. I've taken several of them and desaturated them and adjusted the level so that it was only linework with no shading. I can use these layers, set to "multiply" mode, to show the lines of the model.

I then painstakingly selected only the vehicle and created a channel mask. This will allow me to quickly and easily select only the vehicle (without background) or only the background (without vehicle). This ability makes it SUPER easy to make quick changes without having to worry about bleeding into another area of the painting.

Finally, I fiddled around with some colors to try and set the palette for this image. I'm going with a fairly desaturated green.... any guesses where this is going?

#CSCI 107 #CYOP

I've finished the SketchUp model and have exported a variety of 2d images, which I've included in this post. All of the images have the same camera angle, but I've taken several with shadows, some without, as well as some with varying thickness of lines. I will use GIMP to mash all of these images together, using some parts from each image, to come up with a base image that will then become my "underpainting".

I have two different images in mind that I will create from these exported jpegs. The two images will be a diptych, two images that fit better together than they do apart. The two images together will tell a story. More to come!

FOREVER REBLOG.

I've begun working on my project for the Choose Your Own project in Computer Science 107. Basically my project is to build a cool 3d model in Sketchup and then use GIMP to paint two different paintings using that model as the base. I will blog about process and progress along the way.

So, this is the first post about this project, and I've got three images to look at. As you may (or may not) be able to tell, I'm building an aircraft heavily based on modern transport helicopters.

The first image is a test shot for how I will want the model framed for one of the final images.

The second image is a closeup of some of the detail I'm putting in. Most of the model will not be this detailed, that can (and will!) be added in GIMP. I got a little carried away.

The third image is more indicative of the general level of detail the model will need. It's more about getting the larger shapes the way you want them. Since the 3d model is mostly used to establish perspective and basic lighting, the model need not be heavily detailed.
