1. Not me, but just so your artwork looks even better in comparison, here is

something more in the realm of illustration that I did last week. I made it up for my dye sublimation printer and use it as a bumper sticker on my car.

2. My latest interpretation of the 2008 Republican National Convention Logo

Don't laugh. It took great artistic skill and imagination to dream that one up: :evilgrin:

I really like your work. I'd never be able to do anything like that. :hi:

4. Why shouldn't we laugh, it's great, it's funny. The expression on the pink elephant

is perfect ... sure seems like a young one though.

7. It is not art but fun to do. Who ever came up with the Logo didn't think that through

8. It's almost hypnotic, isn't it.

I created it within an older version of 3D Studio Max.

The Oracle was created using Poser, Bryce, 3D Studio, and Photoshop. All that on an old computer about six generations slower than the one I have now.

9. heheh I can imagine how you felt, I an still remember generating graphics with mathematical

functions on my older 8-bit computers... what used to take 20 minutes now takes a minute fraction of a second.

10. I remember PovRay on Win 3.1

Those were the days I first became fascinated with fractals, too. This damned magic box shaped a good part of my artistic muse.

and more than a bit disappointed when I realized how hard it was going to be to make ANYTHING other than basic shapes with it...

47. Reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon...

The Pointy-Haired Boss denies Dilbert the PC upgrade to run complex 3-D modeling software. Dilbert says something to the effect of "So you want me to run this on my 386?"

The PHB says "Well, how many times are really going to be doing this, anyway?", to which Dilbert replies "Once, if I hurry."

:rofl:

16. That's excellent!

I've only seen one other example of your work (Your desktop being the other), but I think I could pick yours out of a crowd. You have a definite style- almost like a signature. :thumbsup:

36. with more exposure, I believe you could get yourself a niche market

your stuff is unique, and if Basquiat can do it, there's no reason you can't. His stuff was total shit, but yours has a quality about it.

Would you be willing to post a psd of it? I'm curious how it was put together.

27. It's pretty simple, actually.

Just elements cut and pasted from different photographs. Colour adjustments. Simulated shadows. Clone stamp on the guy's eyes.

At least, I hope the image shows up. Photobucket has quit working for me altogether, so I tried MySpace.

20. I really like the Moebius Plus.

Great work!

Here's a quick render of two 3D works in progress: One is a loudspeaker model, which is, except for the grill, finished. The other one is trying to make a Marilyn Monroe character right (and it's far from right yet.) Unfortunately, she came out too dark in the render, but I just wanted to show it quickly. She's also too skinny right now.

Programs used so far:
Hexagon 2.2 (for the loudspeaker), Poser 7, Daz3D Studio, Carrara Pro 6 and PS CS3.

Here's an older one with the speakers (still unfinished then):

33. Damn! I KNEW "Mobius" didn't look quite right

:rofl:

Your artworks are fantastic- looks like the new Poser is superior! I'll have to check it out.

35. Thank you!

Actually, I don't like Poser so much. I don't like the interface, but the lights are nice. For posing I use DAZ Studio, but there, the lights are horrible. So with the new Carrara Pro 6 which allows importing DAZ scenes (however, there are some bugs and a service patch was just made to correct some of the issues) I render them there or in Bryce. The loudspeaker only renders perfectly in Bryce for some reasons.

The one with Christ on the cross makes a powerful statement. Well done indeed.

Awesome stuff. I'm facinated. I'd really like to look into how to do that. I'm totally clueless. Hopefully my Fine Arts program will have some courses to let me dabble in it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their work.
