Puss Reboots: Digital Art: Themes: Gashlycrumb

Twenty-six Bryce pieces inspired by the book Gashly Crumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.



Amy
Rerendering one of my favorite all Bryce models. I was inspired to do so by the first page of The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey.

Created January 5, 2007


Basil
Basil was eaten by bears. It's the second verse in The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Created January 6, 2007


Clara
I was inspired to do so by the first page of The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. Clara is the third child.

Created January 8-9, 2007


Desmond
Desmond fell off a sleigh. It's the fourth verse in The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Created January 10-12, 2007



Ernest
Ernest is the fifth child in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. He choked on a peach. I created the peach in Carrara's vertex editor.

Created January 14, 2007



Fanny
Fanny is the sixth child in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. She was gotten by a leech. I created the hat in Carrara's vertex modeler.

Created January 17, 2007


George
George is the seventh child in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. In the book he's actually suffocated by a rug but that seemed really difficult to illustrate in the style I've set up for this series. I put the tipped over chair to draw attention to the rug. The butterfly is just there to provide a little contrast to the blue of the carpet.

Created January 21, 2007


Hector
Hector is the eighth child in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. He was strangled.

Created January 24, 2007



Ida
I had trouble setting up the scene for Ida. I originally tried using Wappen's boat but it just didn't work right in the scene. Also I had the lighting too dark to show the water. I ended up building the boat in Carrara and restarted the project from a copy I spawned off Fanny.

Created January 28-30, 2007


James
James drank lye. He's the letter J entry for The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Created February 1-2, 2007


Kate
Kate came to an untimely end with an axe. She's the letter K entry for The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Created February 4-7, 2007


Leo
Leo is the next one in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. He ate tacks.

Created February 12, 2007


Maud
Maud is the next one in The Gashlycrumb Tinies. She was swept away to sea.

Created February 13-5, 2007


Neville
Neville died of ennui.

Created February 21, 2007


Olive
She was run through with an awl.

Created February 28, 2007


Prue
Prue is the next one in the Gashlycrumb Tinies. She was trampled in a bar room brawl.

Created March 7-8, 2007


Quentin
Quentin is the next one in the Gashlycrumb Tinies. He sank into a bog while hunting buterflies.

Created March 11, 2007


Rhoda
Rhoda is the next Gashlycrumb Tiny. She was consumed by fire. I decided to go with playing with fire rather than spontaneous combustion. I know that matches don't burn as I've made this one burn but I thought the exaggeration made for a better illustration.

Created March 15, 2007


Susan
Susan is the next Gashlycrumb Tiny. She died of fits.

Created March 19, 2007

Yellow Door
Titus
Titus was "blown to bits" by a package bomb. I was reluctant to work on this one because I thought the bow would be difficult. It ended up being easy.

Created March 25, 2007

Shelter from the Rain
Una
Una was washed down a drain. I've had compliments for this one being "brighter" than the previous renders. All of the renders are using the exact same staging and lighting. The placement of the items and the materials used on those items react differently to the set up.

Created March 27, 2007


Victor
Victor is the next of the Gashlycrumb Tinies. He was squashed by a train. I used three of Tonylynch's toy train models available for download from the 3DCommune.

Created April 1, 2007


Winnie
I am almost finished with the Gashycrumb series. Winnie was trapped in the ice. My ice cubes added three days to the render time.

Created April 4-6, 2007


Xerxes
Xerxes was devoured by mice. I had toyed with creating and rendering a mouse trap for the piece but the toy mice seemed funnier.

Created April 13, 2007


Yorrick
Yorrick had his head bashed in. I have only one image left in The Gashlycrumb Tinies series.

Created April 17, 2007


Zillah
Zillah drank too much gin and is the last child in the series.

Created April 21, 2007
