Starbright Illustrations (blog)

I think this 3D model that I am currently working on in Blender (the free 3D software solution) is really going to be something special. In my last post I mentioned how I’m keen on putting some of my 3D images on the front of t-shirts and I think Dark Cat here will be perfect for this.

Here it is in the t-shirt widget.

I still need to come up with a logo though, I have a few ideas for a logo rattling about in my head but nothing concrete yet. I think I’ll have to wait till the end of the week before I have a coherent image or brand all tied together for my art and illustrations. It’s nice to be just getting on with creating 3D images again after all the problems I’ve been having with 3D animation. I’ll crack it eventually, but it sure is taking some time.

I was creating a robot to act as my t-shirt design, but the cat suddenly came out of nowhere and I like him much better. He represents a clean break between the 3D art I do for t-shirts and the 3D images I produce as illustrations for role-playing games.

RPGs do still occupy a lot of my creative time however and I took time to check out another fine site I found thanks to a comment being left here. There are some great pieces of ancient old school RPG box and book cover art here. The sort of thing that makes you shout, “My god, I had that supplement too!”, at least if you are an old nerd like me it does.

A character for every game
