Puss Reboots: Digital Art: September 2005

Hay Bales
Drawn with Photoshop and inspired by a Bryce piece I did in August.

Hayward Hills
After a summer hiatus from MojoWorld, I've started work on a new planet that I'm calling Hayward.

Goldenrod
Here is a view of the rings of Hayward lit up at dusk.

Sierra Madre
This land form on Hayward reminds me of the mountain from The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

Claire's Room
I put this together last night while Ian and I were discussing 3D rendering. I didn't create anything new for this piece. I was instead concerned with lighting.

Acorns
Sean has been fascinated with acorns since watching My Neighbor Totoro. As fall is around the corner, the oak trees have been dropping their acorns and Sean and I have been collecting them. I gave Sean the box that Ian's cuff links came in to use as his acorn treasure box. Anyway, this picture was inspired by our recent acorn hunting trips.

Marin
Since the acorn image had been inspired by a Japanese film, I wanted to see if I could make a bowl of rice. Instead of modeling something more typically Japense to put on top of the rice I put a few slices of avocado. The image then took on a California fushion feel to it, hence the name "Marin."

Old Desk
Drew this today in Photoshop. It's typical of so many of the places I worked at in San Francisco -- those converted older buildings now serving as dot-com company head quarters.

The Barn in Summer
I drew this in Photoshop and I'm quite pleased with how the trees and the shadow on the barn turned out.

Caps for Sale
One of Sean's favorite books at the moment is Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. His enthusiasm for the story was my inspiration for this piece.

Yellow Onion
We have an onion in our kitchen that has started to sprout. I thought it would make a nice modeling challenge. I created the onion with Carrara's vertex editor.

White Chair
Drew this today in Photoshop. I like the contrast of the white against the red.

Created September 21, 2005

Lemonade
We've been having an unexpected heatwave. The heat inspired this image. Someone asked me why I put the gloves in the picture. They are there to hint at days when ladies wore white gloves. Of course to make the drinks, she'd have to take them off.

Tribeca Gentlemen's Club
It's been a while since I've created any new furniture models. I put together these chairs while watching Smallville and CSI.
