Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

That's a pretty cool little animation there. How long did it take?

Probably 100 hours to model (including false starts and do-overs; it's only my 2nd animation) and 200 to render.

Re: Now THIS is a SUPERCAR my friends!

Oh well' date=' at least this is real.

It's real in the same sense that the Moller Air Car is (i.e pure vapor tech)

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

Neat. I like the fact that its setup like one of those planes.. uh... the ones with two main bodies connected by wings thing. (yeah' date=' aren't I edumicated...) Pretty cool.[/quote']

 

I think you're talking about a p-38 lightning.

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

An hour doesn't seem like a long time -- unless you have to drive it each way... *sigh*

I drive two-hours each way twice every weekend to game. (shrug)

Re: Jokes

True story:

 

I was on an annoying pirate kick one day, walking around the house shouting "Arrrr!" all the time, and my wife (in exasperation) finally says, "Don't you know any letters besides R?"

 

My response?

 

 

 

"Aye!"

 

And this is the real reason you'll be out of the house tomorrow.

Short but tantalizing' date=' 'sphinx. And very well put together.[/quote']

 

Yeah it's short. That little bit took something like ten hours to render. Sadly. I lack Pixar's processors.

Working on a degree in video game art and design (I like to think of it as my parole plan). This is a skyship from a novel I'm writing. Killing two birds with one stone.

Re: Gravity well power - how to write it?

I would write this up as a TK attack

AOE rds +x, Uncontrolled +1/2, Affects whole object -1/4, Toward center point only -1/4, (You can also throw in affects desolids)

If I wanted to get really creative I'd add a change environment to it Change environment "Warped Space"

-3 range modifier

-2 Dex rolls

-6 m teleport (all other forms of movement would be effected by the TK itself smashing the mover flat)

QuerySphinx and Ghost-Angel might have additional quotes to add. In the meantime, enjoy!

Re: Domino costume

People are fantastically bad at recognizing faces to begin with/ I remember an experiment where Man A would strike up a conversation with a person on the street. After a few minutes there would be a bump to distract the stranger and Man B would take Man A's place and continue the conversation with the stranger. As long as Man B was dressed as Man A, and the right general color, the stranger almost never picked up on the switch.

Now' date=' am I just overly entandre' aware, or is this actually a pun: "Gawain Kommando?"[/quote']

 

Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

Nice pic, 'Sphinx. Is she a dryad?

 

(And is she wearing something underneath that diaphanous skirt she's wearing, to prevent embarrassment in strong winds?)

In the setting she is from, Teh Bunneh's Temoris setting, she's a green elf (cue the "green elf needs food badly" jokes). The green elves are the most naturalistic elven subspecies. And as for her skirt...she is Gawain Kommando.

Re: Is DOT overpriced

For FY 2010 the Colorado D.O.T. had a budget of over One Billion Dollars, so yes, they are seriously overpriced.

This is Spike... because there are not enough red-headed befreckled manitcore women in the world.

Also, please let me know if the color on this picture looks strange to you. The color looks very different to me between my new cintiq and my old monitor.

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

Oooh! I like! And what's that thing over his eye? Or does it replace his eye?

That's an occulum, or artificial eye, that replaces one he lost.

From work today. After a discussion about promotions has drifted on into irritating coworkers.

Me: "Yeah, but in the D.O.C. that's just a lateral transfer."

Re: Query's Art & Stuff Thread

Yes' date=' another excellent pic. Keep posting!!![/quote']

 

Thanks. I'm trying to develop a few more pictures, time permitting. I need to work out how to simulate textures next.

Offtopic...Querysphinx' date=' I heard your book is pretty good. How is it doing?[/quote']

 

It's not really doing. It's been out of print for a while. This is not to say there aren't copies available. It's just not a "Live" book at the moment. Of course, I highly recommend reading it!
