Stop & Post November 2005!

Welcome to the monthly talent show that we call Stop & Post. Put down your stylus/mouse/trackball and show us what you've been working on. Yes, even YOU in the back row. Hey, if you use XaraX you're one of us, and there's nothing to be ashamed of...

Risto! Nice opening. Sorry I started to post something, but changed my mind. Where's the delete button in here?

Great opening graphic ... and speech Simon! ... You're going to be good at this. I've been busy doing administrative work, but here's a little thing I did for a small high school football team ... not much ... but I did draw the cute little fox

The fox is excellent - stylised enough to make it slick without looking unnatural.

On a similar note, here is a redesign of a logo for a neighbour of mine who's an interior decorator. The original (not by me!) is the top one.

A XaraX1 picture of my sons girlfriend Sofie, I had hoped to get finished for the people show in Xaraxone but nowhere near satisfactory yet.
Just a line drawing as its the skin tone and shading I'm most worried about but a little picture to show what it looks like at the moment.

The wireframe has a strong artistic appeal for me, even more than the colour image it represents. I realise that's probably not the kind of comment you were hoping for, but I just had to say it!

Very nice work so far, Derek.

By the way, I notice that Sofie is wearing glasses in the wire frame version, but not in the full colour version. Does this mean the glasses have been removed in the process of developing this piece, or that they are being added?

I like the wireframe’s myself. You can see the drawing and the ‘working out’ that the drawing is comprised of when the fill is removed. Its why I like pencil drawing as all the initial sketching and early lines remain visible.

Glen
The glasses were only an outline with no modelling / highlights etc. at the moment so I left out that layer.

Nice work guys. Do not have anything at home that I haven't posted, but I might get some time to doodle tonight...

Well I just paid for my upgrade to Xtreme and thought I'd take a few minutes to play with a imported digital image. It was a pic of a sunrise here at my home in Mermaid, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
