Circadian Contraptions Day 61
I really love how the lips turned out so figured I’d do the same with the eye. I love the effect i managed to get on it, but the iris colors.. not 100% sold on those. Still, it’s today’s contraption.
Circadian Contraptions Day 60
The second month ends with a big kiss. Today was something of a study in the lighting on the lips, and how to convert a pencil drawing into color.

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
Circadian Contraptions Day 57
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

Circadian Contraptions Day 53
A little while back I drew an eye. I did so from the top of my head, no example, just what i thought I’d remember about the eye. It came out, well, not quite what I desired (see day 42) and I promised to try it again, this time with a bit of help from … Continue reading

Tripple word score for today. I’ve been trying to make the Kingspray letters I make more “graffiti” and I’ve tried to do so in a couple of ways. None of them really are what i was looking for, but they were good practice I guess, so here’s three pixels for the last day of the … Continue reading

Whilst trying to design a more graffiti like logo, I once again made a too rigid design. A pity, but it’s not useless, I’ve drawn it up in Illustrator and finished up the shadow effects in Photoshop. All three stages included.
