Circadian Contraption
Circadian Contraptions Day 66
I wanted to do something with surrealism or abstraction. Now the realism bit in this picture is not very well defined. nor was it intended to, it’s there to give the idea of a “real” world vs the more abstract area and line based image on the right. The lines to the right become stronger, … Continue reading

I’ve set out to make a caricature today. I read up on it a bit and its mostly about exaggerating known features. So after looking in the mirror for a bit, I’ve written down a few things. The glasses stand out a lot, I have a high forehead, and somewhat thin but wide lips. All … Continue reading

Todays contraption is a bit of a collage of a bunch of stuff i did before. I wanted to see what else i could do with the Pixel logo, and this is what came out of it:

The face i showed before is not complete yet. It needs a frame, it needs a setting. And of course hair. So that is what I did today. I made a nice pixie cut hairstyle and a face shape that should house the rest. It might start looking a bit odd when i combine them, … Continue reading

On the way to work today I decided to test my new phone by making a picture of sky lighting up behind the pyramid that is our train station. The effect was so nice that I decided to strengthen it by adding a blur and messing with the strength of the color balance on the … Continue reading

The mouth. After doing the eyes, the ears and the nose, the mouth of course couldn’t stay behind. I think its interesting how many lines the mouth does not actually have. The outer contour is more hinted at than drawn, except for the shadowy corners and bottom part. And a bit of bonus content … Continue reading
