It is Illustration Friday time again and the word this week is “Frozen”, and that suits me just fine. Here in Vienna it is freezing, and we even had a little bit of snow yesterday, though it didn’t lie, perfect inspiration for this Illustration Friday word.
I’ve snipped out a detail from a painting I did a couple of years ago and I think it looks pretty and says frozen quite clearly as well. Looking at the image it seems like I overdid it with the “save for web and devices”, everything in the picture is a little blurry and pixilated. I’ll be more careful in future, but I think you can still pretty much see what’s going on in the image. It’s a picture of penguins sitting and killing time on an iceberg for anyone who needs a clue.
And it’s nice to have an old school painting on the site after all the Photoshop and 3d Blender CG art I’ve been doing lately. It’s tempting to pick the paint brush up again and do more of these images.I could even then scan in the paintings and load them into Blender. Then I could stitch them around an invisible 3d object and make animations out of them.
I’ve already started experimenting with this idea, although so far I have only scanned in some basic sketches, and not any complex paintings. The results are already starting to look pretty good though.
This animation is just a small test, just a rotating mouse head made from a sketch that I scanned in to Blender and animated in 3d.
