A new project

To increase my ability to use the adobe software I've set myself a challenge. I want to create a deck of cards based around discworld characters. This project is mainly to improve my illustrator skills but also just general practices. Here is Vetinari the Ace of Clubs from my deck. He's yet to be finished but I'm posting anyway to boost my own motivation.

Each character is broken down to a a maximum of three features. So Vetinari has his hair and his ring. Colour is going to be my greatest problem here as there are certain conventions that go with cards. I have yet to decide whether to change the names and icon's of suits to suit the discworld theme. Vetinari is going to have some grey added here and there and some additional texture around the hair to try and communicates individual hairs.

Here are two from the eye series I am doing. The Lady and The Bursar

Spitfire

Beginning of big things. I'm trying to build a spitfire airfix kit in Solidworks. I am limited in accuracy because it's next to impossible to accurately measure the components at my desk without breaking out the saw. This is the main body (still in progress) which in along with the wings is the hardest part to construct. The rest of the kit should be easy.

I've been quiet for a while so here's a desk

This post does what it says on the tin

Making a V12 from an incomplete tutorial is hard.

So yeah I found a V12 tutorial. It was hard to make the cylinders as there was a miscommunication which set me down the wrong path. So I fixed it as best I could and bunged it in to photoview.

Here are some renderings of a smaller panic room I made.
