  1. You been at the wacky baccy again?
  2. Doing that kind of stuff is the entry drug on the slippery slope to madness. From Greek symbols to Spirographs to Mandala´s all the way to fractals, reach that point and you are doomed.
  3. Hearing the engines in the video makes my heart skip a beat.
  4. I have been working on and off on a rendering of the 20th Century Limited, one of the famous streamliners of the last century, I just love the industrial design from Henry Dreyfuss and his work on the magnificent Hudson steam locomotives. I have started on the 20th Century, it´s still in a early state of development and I... (ahem!) ran out of steam finishing it off. I envision it under a full head of steam departing out of Chicago La Salle or New York Grand Central. Would this be something?
  5. One way I have found to get into the ball park is to determine the white point and the black point, white being the lightest point of course, whereas white is relative, "pure" white has 1%R, 2%blue and 0 Green, and I would use the frame as the black. that will give you a gray balance and level the playing field as it were. The trick then is not to reduce the red gamut, as in the sample above, but increase blue and green.
  6. I love the aircraft from between the wars, they experimented and tried all kinds of airframes and paved the way for the aircraft we see today. One of those was the De Havilland DH 88 Comet. Three of these thoroughbreads were built for the 1934 air race from England to Australia. All done in Designer and Photo with oodles of Perlin noise in the background.
  7. Schon ein eigener Stil, ist sehr gefällig.
  8. Digital archeology at it´s finest. I wonder if that could be a sub section of media technology and IT studies one day, or even a university course of it´s own right. If you think of all the zettabytes of data currently stored on obsolete carriers.... Or the basic knowledge of a cure to some illness residing on a 12" floppy. A first version of a song or the voice of some politician or film star on a magnetized wire. How do you get a Bernoulli box to handshake with Windows 10?
  9. Sweet, very well done. Just have to say though that the engine nacelle looks a tad flat on the side.
  10. Now that is what I am talking about. How about taking a look at the https://www.facebook.com/groups/ehangar aviation art forum on FB?
  11. It´s not a plug in it is a website called DeepAI and the conversion is done online. I have found out though that you get much better results if you run the picture through Photo for white point adjustment, gradient adjusting and basic cleaning and repairs.
  12. I always found that isometric drawings look strange to eyes used to perspective drawing.
  13. I have been playing at colorizing old family photos with a fascinating AI called "DeepAI" The results were then imported to Photo and hit with various filters and curves and color tools. The AI isn´t quite there yet but give it another few years of learning and it will be mainstream. In the meantime I think these pictures came out pretty good considering some of them are over a hundred years old.
  14. Working on a 1956 Norton Commander at the moment.
  15. Love it, just got an instaheadache from the shirt, how on earth did you survive drawing that without going insane?
  16. Now that´s a series I would like to see rebooted. Love the vector Firefly.
  17. For this years cards I wanted to keep it simple and almost in the naive style and I went down the family value road as a nod to my second grandkid. They are set up as slightly overformat in A4, as RGB and impositioned as work and tumble, page 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 are imported to masterpages in QuarkXpress with each card being personalized in the worksheet so I won´t bore you with that part. Twas fun. Now let´s see yours!
  18. Holy flowerpot batman, I doff my hat.
