Amen!

I've always wondered if ti was the ferocity of the Scotsmen that brought us Bagpipes, or the Bagpipes that brought out the umm,......, the uh...... the intensity of the Scotsmen?

You ALWAYS amaze me! Thanks.

That looks great! I am so jealous.

Well, Happy Birthday, David, whenever it is!

Nice looking model.

Someone, and I'm sorry I can't remember who, posted a tutorial about tank treads about a year ago, I believe. It was well done and it animated in an extremely real fashion.

You must at least have a storyline and ideas for gags to draw from? BTW, I hear the second hundred come easier. Congratulations.

I'm wrapping up the imagery for my website. On the link to the video's page I have one image for the animated videos, but I wanted something different for the link to the "Live" video section. I wanted to do something with the ribbon style that has evolved, but my time (and perhaps creativity) is running out. So I put this little "concept " together. Not very Art Nouveau, but kind of interesting in it's own way.

Happy Birthday Jason and Steve! And Jason, thanks for all you hard work.

Congratulations on making it through 5 decades!

Doesn't anybody want to give us a hand?

Obviously, excellent work. What sort of maps are you using to get these textures? Or are you using materials? All of them are spectacular!

Thanks again, everybody! Gene, I bought a ball cap once that had "E=Fb" on it. I thought it was cool, but thought the formula didn't look 'Scientific' enough, so I made this one for the poster. Nancy, in prehistoric times back when I was in high school, I would get bored in class while the teacher was explaining for the 12th time for folks in the back of the room that 2+2 did indeed equal 4. I had been sketching for some time and was attempting to develop my "own" artistic" styles. (I've posted below a re-visitation of one of those styles done a couple of years ago for my friends, Sneakin' Out ) the lines were a composition choice to balance out, with their straightness, all of the curvature. These red lines obviously come from that. They weren't, however meant to distract from the image, and be that red and obtrusive. However there are differences from progressive and final renders. I've re-rendered with softer lines. I like them angled as they are, rather than a more 'geometrical' approach. That's what's cool about art, everybody sees thing a bit differently. Matthew, my man, back in the 1900's (during the last year of the sixth decade to be precise) when "Yes" was still "Maybe", I undertook a year or so of serious, independently funded Pharmacological research at laboratories conveniently located at various outdoor musical events up and down the West Coast. During my research I saw many images of this style, but alas, I find that I remember none of them. Stanley Mouse was a hero of mine, and his poster work was an inspiration for starting these Nouveau Images.

Thanks You, Nancy. You too, Paul. I've actually thought about animating "growing the Music ribbons" from the guitar. I'll put that on my list of things I'd like to do in A:M. It's item number 4,723. Thanks, David. As you can see, I tend to respond to the slightest bit of encouragement. Here's the "Poster".

The arm flapping helped. There are many others on this forum who are more qualified to speak on this than I, however, I would suggest at frame X, keyframe the raven model's transparency at 0%, and Valkrye's at 100%. then at X + 20 (or whatever interval you choose), keyframe the raven's transparency at 100% and Valkrye's at 0% and that should give you a smooth dissolve.

I'm calling this one done. May refine farther down the road.

Is that lignum vitae on th handle?

Thank you everybody. I did some tweaking last night that I liked but I lost it trying to save. I'll redo it and post later Paul, Laphroaig usually ties me in knots.

Got the full image completed. I'll probably tweak it some more, but the concept works. sorta

I've been waiting for a clear day with no interruptions to Rig McKnuckles, so I put this together for the page on my website for music clips. The image is only half done, there will be "Music" flowing out of either the headstock or a guitar chord.

"was" or "is"?

Another great character, good transition from the strip. I've heard people talk about someone's eye teeth, first time I've seen 'em.

Follow these 5 steps and you will accomplish what Holmes is telling you.
