Circadian Contraptions, Day 86

In the wake of the rose DMCA thing, I thought it’d be fun fun to do something more with illustrator black/white art. Why i drew an evil wizard? I dunno, but he did turn out pretty wicked.

Circadian Contraptions Day 85

After a long hiatus DJ Dana is back to DJing at Eden. Having her and her set in mind, i made a simple little thing for her. The DJ Dana text has actual fur (no animals were harmed during the making of this picture), and the back on track is actually following a path i drew out, which was new for me.

Circadian Contraptions Day 84

Remember the little lonely bear, sitting in a corner, or staring through the bars into freedom? She escaped, she fashioned a basket out of the bars, and made a balloon out of her linnen bedsheets, and is now on her way to freedom!

Circadian Contraptions Day 83

Another in my photo’s of toys in odd places. The little bear went from a very lonely spot to being confined behind bars. But do not fret, I have a happy ending for her in mind. 😉

Circadian Contraptions Day 81

Being in the mood for something weird, I decided to do something about the view from my balcony. I now have a nice view on the mountains and the aurora borealis. As well as a pair of huge lips that seem to be inexplicably floating in the air in the exact same way that bricks don’t.

Amy send me a tutorial for illustrator that looked like a lot of fun to do, so here’s a nice gem made totally from scratch in Illustrator.

Circadian Contraptions Day 79

A long, long time ago, in a school no so far away… I learned about perspective. I used to make pretty complex drawings with it on paper, but as a starter for getting back into it (and doing it digitally) i went for something relatively simple. 2 houses and a doghouse. I’ve left the “help lines” visible for an extra effect, and added some cheap shading to make it more visually attractive. It’s a two point perspective, with one of the two being offscreen.

Circadian Contraptions day 78

One of the prime uses of photoshop is making things look better than they original were. On that note I’ve decided to enhance a very fine bottle of bourbon whiskey into something that looks even better.

Circadian Contraptions day 77

On my way to work I found this great sunrise. the scene itself is not much to talk about, but the blue sky, the white horizon and the orange ground gave me an idea to make something of a reversed flag. A bit of messing later and I came up with the following idea of a rectangular “windows” inside of another window inside of the old color setting, going from the original colors to more basic colors. in three steps
