January 2005
Another year begins. I expect that the first few months will be heavy with MojoWorld 3 renders and
I'm having so much fun growing trees!
Happy New Year I had planned to call this piece "waiting for New Year's" and you'll notice that the clock hasn't quite hit midnight, but since I created this piece 2 days after the New Year started, it seemed like a silly title. No new models. The shelf on the wall is by Tony Lynch and everything else is mine.
Created January 2, 2005
The
White Door I drew this today using Photoshop. I just felt like drawing a door. Each element is in it's own layer although in this case no layer blends were used. It's just easier to keep the various pieces separate.
Created January 3, 2005
Mountain Hide AwayAnother Photoshop drawing. I'm enjoying the process of drawing architectural spaces. I've always enjoyed drawing buildings and pieces of buildings (or rendering them) but I've never done much work with Photoshop in this field. Created January 4, 2005
Time
to Take Down the Tree We actually didn't have a tree since we always spend the holidays away from home but given my late date in drawing and posting this, it seemed like an apt title. I don't really know what inspired me to do draw a Christmas ornament post Christmas like this. Created January 6, 2005
Taylor Sea VillageI'm working on updating Planet Taylor to have a MojoWorld 3 version. I'm currently just using slightly altered presets rather than creating things from scratch. I'm not sure if these renders reflect what will be the final version or not. Created January 3-7, 2005
Taylor Mountain Village More huts, but this time rendering from another region. Created January 3-7, 2005
Taylor Plains HutsLast render of the 3.0 version of Planet Taylor. Created January 3-7, 2005
Land of the Pumpkin Eaters While experimenting with MojoTree, I came across something resembling a pumpkin.

Sleeping CalicoI've gotten Illustrator installed on my iBook. Sleeping Calico is my test drive image. I drew it with the track pad.

Snow
on Pines Drew this in honor of the recent news of record snow levels in California.

Polar ForestPlaying with the latitude placements of forests.

The
Harlequin Beetle While playing with my pumpkin, I discovered the Harlequin beetle.
Created January 13, 2005
The
Pumpkin Ring This Harlequin Beetle hasn't had any fresh meet lately and has taken to eating the nearby pumpkins. This beetle is VERY DANGEROUS when hungry. Created January 13, 2005
Yellow WallAnother Photoshop sketch.
Created January 17, 2005

Created January 20, 2005

Five TreesPlanet Avon is my current WIP. It's a 3.0 world.
Created January 21, 2005
Happy
Lunar New Year The lunar new year starts on February 9th this year. In the Chinese calendar it's a green chicken (rooster). As the elements that make up the green chicken are metal and wood, I've made a robotic rooster and put him in a forest of trees.
Created January 2-23, 2005
Old
Giants This is my first render from pushinfader's Planet Onyota (challenge 167). It's also my first venture with the boulder plug in, something I didn't know existed until yesterday. Log onto Pandromeda's website and click on "My Account" and then "My Downloads" to find the boulder plug in installer.
Created January 25, 2005
Work in ProgressI haven't installed Carrera on my iBook yet which limits my modeling ability to what I can do in Bryce. It's quite an experience to model something with a track pad. Thank goodness for the option of using numerical in puts.
Anyway, this is a representation of our last major project in our townhouse. Previous owners blocked off this hallway and put a built in case. First it held bamboo and bonsai. The final owners before us turned it into a hideously ugly wide screen tv case. Ian tore down the case and we had help moving the electric plugs back to their original spots and opening up the wall. But we haven't finished the wall. It needs dry walling and painting.
Created January 25, 2005
GraceI drew Grace with Photoshop. Purple and orange are one of my favorite color combinations.
Created January 28, 2005
San
Pedro Sun Towers I added a small city to a spot on Planet Avon.
Created January 28, 2005
The
Muses of Avon I added these boulders and flowers to another spot on Planet Avon.
Created January 28, 2005
Ding DongHere is a close up of our door bell. Again, I added in the wires with Photoshop.
