My lord, there are so many uncharted settlements. It could be smugglers, it could be...

Just continuing to play with this little style I developed over the weekend. The robot sketch in the dump post a few entries ago was actually the first I did with this "style". I kinda enjoy crudely drawn robots. One of my favorite robots of all time, the Viper Probe Droid.

Hugo Award Entry

Here is my entry for the Hugo Award Logo Contest. The requirements were to include the rocket (which is the shape of the Hugo Award) and the words "Hugo Award". It was also required to make a "Winner" variant. From what I understand they got some where in the neighborhood of two hundred entries. Their hope is to make an announcement on the logo in early June. We'll see....









I had also made some color variants, but they arent showing up right through Blogger or ImageShack. I'll post them if I can get it to look right.

Some sketches

Continued Experiments

Playing with some things and trying to expand my knowledge of Photoshop. The more I learn I realize how little I know.


In this I was just playing with a few variants. This sort of design seems to be hip with logos these days so I figured I'd give it a shot.





Another of my stupid friends got stupid married. The only good thing about these events is that we take some epic manshots. I took this picture and then did some of the same things I did with the Milwaukee picture a few entries ago. Turned out alright.




This one was an attempt to make fake water. The picture was originally all mountains. Outside of the no visible shore thing, I think this served well for the experiment

Very Nice

I did this for my mom for Mother's Day. I printed it out and put it in a nice frame and set it up on a table and waited for her to notice. She liked it. "I like when you make me nice things." which I thought was a bit of a cryptic reply to seeing it. "When you were in grade school you made me a Christmas card....it had a Medusa Santa on the front of it. This is much nicer." I dont remember making a Medusa Santa card for her, but I have to admit that a Medusa Santa sounds pretty bad ass.

Experiments

Playing around with making clouds




Playing around with a number of elements

Toying with weather

We thought it might be interesting if we had a little ambient animation here and there for Iron Gall. This is a rain experiment.
