How fast is your brain?

Take the Brain Speed Test Audio based test requiring shockwave.

I came in with a 72, so I’m already batting at the speed of a 30 year old.  Coupled with my fine hand reaction time, my career in Formula 1 seems in doubt.

Odd…

As a character’s costume develops it feels far more naked then when it is completely nude. I wonder why that is. Maybe something to do with the character ‘coming to life’ or partial nudity is what we notice faster.

Oil workflow

Overview of Dave Cooper’s oil painting process “Untitled” in progress – a photoset on Flickr

Pretty cool set all told.

Anatomy set, starting on costume

Angel figure is in “good enough” now. There is a lot more that could be done, but I don’t really have a reason to do it for this still, or for when I want to reuse it in an animation I have (vaguley) in mind.

I have took my first stab at a cloak for her with fairly hilarious results — who knew how akward tailoring would be with wings :D

Duct tape horror!

“It failed reliably and often quite catastrophically,” says Sherman. “And nothing else except duct tape failed.”

Most of the article is postive, but thats a hell of a concluding line ;)

Maybe wings aren’t so bad after all!

With a bow to Paul Hormis of www.hyperent.com who explained a smashing feather method in this thread. I’m not doing it justice atm, but the way it is done is great, and I hope to use it again sometime.

In other news: the wings are way way way (way) to small. Boo hiss.

Dreamland Chronicles

Dreamland Chronicles is a very nice looking 3D comic strip. Chris has 300 pages ready to go, and is parcelling them out once a day. A lovely and vibrant style, it will be interesting to see where this goes.

A depressing map

The BBC plots bird flu cases, here. That is a well done illustration of it, depressing and sort of horrible, but seeing it in a clever colour illustration puts a lot of scope on it.
