Brushes that gets worn down as you draw are so great.

I realized I have no idea how dogs work. Having drawn them for an hour, I don't think I know any better. Dogs are wretched and come in too many fluffy varieties.

Also, a WIP updating a cat-human hybrid paper doll one of us (turned out to be my twin) made for our little sister around fifteen years ago. Basic cat body and coloring for dress #1. Finishing those and dress #2 later. Not sure if I'll bother making the "bed" included in the set, though.

"DVD design" (or rather, square image to go on the cover of a CD envelope) I made for my little sister's film project last year that I thought was pretty cute. Not sure if she ever used it...

I clearly don't know how surfing works, what surfboards look like, or what season it is.

I figure it'd be good to start posting some of my work to motivate myself to improve and whatnot. This was the final design of the wretched "game" I made for the Arduino class. As in many games, the box art promises more than the game could ever give.

Introducing the new friend, RGB Pal, the screaming light-show of the century, or "Why you don't leave sculpey lying out for a few years then expect it to be good as new." For this assignment, we were continuing with programming the RGB LED in new and exciting ways. I'd done some mildly "fun" versions mixing up various odd colors, but for the homework I thought it was best to focus on something that would involve some more "hardcore" "death metal" programming, specifically having the lights fading in and out between the exotic colors of "blue," "green," and "red."

The code:

int ledB = 11;

int ledG = 10;

int ledR = 6;

void setup() {

pinMode(ledB, OUTPUT);

pinMode(ledG, OUTPUT);

pinMode(ledR, OUTPUT);

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

for(int i=0; i<255; i++){

analogWrite(ledG, i);

delay(1);

Serial.println(i);

}

fade(ledG);

fade(ledB);

fade(ledR);

}

void fade(int col){

for(int i=0; i<255; i++){

analogWrite(col, i);

delay(1);

Serial.println(i);

delay(10);

}

for(int i=255; i>0; i--){

analogWrite(col, i);

delay(1);

Serial.println(i);

delay(10);

}

I'd been wanting to incorporate some actual sculpting with one of these homework projects, and I figured out would be a good time to work with the sculpey I was using for my conference project. I thought that a face-plate might be kind of cool, where parts are open (for a face-plate, traditionally the eyes and, if open, the mouth) show light shining through, and the thinner parts show glowing. The sculpey was hard, but I'd worked with hard sculpey before – I knew you just had to keep massaging it until it started warming up. It took me a bit to realize that no amount of kneading would make this sculpey pliant, however. Somehow, I had not considered that the sculpey I'd left out in the TV room for the past 3 years might not be doing so well anymore. I eventually went on to do some research – The internet suggested that in cases like this, you needed to put back the oils the clay had lost, preferably mineral oil. For some reason, I didn't have a ton of oil just lying around in my room, but I had some Moroccan oil for hair and Aquaphor, which contains mineral oil. I tried with the hair product first, as this was the most oil-like of the two. However, I soon decided to switch to Aquaphor, as the hair product is the last of its kind and is one of the few things that keeps my hair in check, as opposed to the Aquaphor, which I have approximately seven tubes of. After kneading for two hours, I'd managed to get a sphere the size of a silver dollar – victory!

The sculpey still proved to be difficult to work with. It cracked under too much pressure, making it rather difficult to keep the whole thing intact. And this shape was fairly simple at that, considering I've sculpted many heads in my time. Compared to the monster monstrosity, this was a breeze. Eventually I got it into a semblance of a head, and the cleft lip and palate splitting up all the way to the tear ducts held together long enough to bake. All in all, I quite like how this one turned out, and I may mess around with some projects like this in the future.
