Circadian Contraptions Day 189
When I started with my BIQU printer, i had some trouble getting larger prints to work. Turned out I did a bunch of things wrong, amongst which switching two of the towers, making everything print in mirror. Everything is correct now, and I’m printing my first really large print, an office pencil holder (and post-its, … Continue reading

Another evening of laying down blocks, its slowly starting to take shape. More pictures, but not done by a long shot. Keep in mind that its not just placing the blocks, but also includes finding the recipes for them, finding the materials and crafting the blocks.

I’ve spend most of today working on a castle in Creativerse, a game much like lego’s and/or minecraft. The castle I’m building there is rather massive, and its going to take me at least a few more days to finish it, but here’s the first picture of the drawbridge.

Mixed reality is always fun. So in the spirit of Roger Rabbit, I’ve decided to let Courage loose on Ypenburg. I’m betting he’s waiting on Muriel to come pick him up.

I felt like drawing pen and paper style again. So I picked a cartoon that I’ve loved since the show began ages ago. A tiny pink dog by the name of courage that despite being scared of literally everything, overcame the creepiest of challenges.

Using silk weave to paint is always a challenge. Yes, most everything you do with it looks awesome, but to get certain shapes or themes going is hard as the brush flows freely around your mouse pointer. I managed to get a nice one set up though, and used photoshop to make it pop out … Continue reading
