Mermay Week 4

 A very loosley finished mermaid. I like the loose painterly digital look but this is a bit too loose, need to keep practicing

Trying a New Program

Image
I'm trying to figure out how and try to use Mudbox , which is different so far from what I am was using for 3D programs,  but I can see myself using it a lot once I figure out what it all does lol

Another Mermaid

Image
  Still painting very rough mermaids, I'm trying to find my digital style and while this is getting close to what I want, it still needs work.

Mermaid and Friend

Image
So mermay has been a bust due to various injuries, but I did manage to get this done finally and hopefully I get at least one more mermaid finished but if I dont, there is always next year  

Mermay Work in Progress

Image
This past week has been a shit show lol. I fell and whacked the side of my head on the bunker (worktop) and an opened tuna can. So now my eye looks like this: Lovely shades lol and then John broke a bone in his foot, so he is hobbling around after getting it reset. Im not that happy with the way the mermaid is looking right now, but I can work more on it to see if I can fix what I dont like.

Calibration Cubes

Image
 So John was printing pieces for his chair last night and while they did print there was a bit of line/space jumping going on, my first thought was that there was a problem with the extruder, more specifically a clog in the nozzle end where the heated filament comes out, but just to check I thought I should print a calibration cube. There are all kind of things you can print to help calibrate the printer but I wanted to see if there was a problem with the x,y, or z axis, so this cube would tell me. Obvs its not supposed to crumple apart like that lol  Big problems with the z axis so after John greased the z axis rod, cleaned out old filament, tightened all the rest of the screws and cleaned out old melted filament from the nozzle, I printed another cube.    This is what is it supposed to look like, so now to print more random prob pointless stuff lol

Throwback Thursday

Image
 Simple design from 2004 for a monster under the bed drawing idea that i had that i didn't do anything with,but now really think I should start to draw the idea again.

Mermay Day #2 and #3

Image
 Two unfinished sketches for mermay, would like to finish them more but just dont have the time

Mermay Day 1

Image
 Once again its Mermay so I am going to try to participate every day. Using this prompt list as a guide : The above mermaid could be painted more but I dont have the time to right now if I am going to try and get more mermaids done. Maybe in the future I will come back to finish it and fix the things I dont like.
