Hello everyone,
Welcome to Stop & Post July 2012.
Are you working on something new? Improving a previous work? Maybe just trying some funky new text effects..
Whatever it is, show us what you´ve been doing. There´s plenty of space for all!
And don´t worry... It doesn´t matter if it´s finished or not as long as it has been done with Xara software.
See you next month,
Happy posting!
This is a scene design that I did for my recent animation called The Good Neighbor. It's easy to create the art in Xara and then I can move around individual objects and parts to tighten up the design in preparation for animating.
Awesome Zeb. Those characters look familiar, are they from one of your videos?
Thanks, Larry! Yeah, like I said in my post, it's from my animation The Good Neighbor. You can find it on my YT channel.
That's cool Zeb, I very much like your style of cartooning.
I'm messing around with a space stereogram at the mo. I'm still a beginner with these, the mask isn't quite right yet, so still working on that. But this is what I've got so far.
Regards
Su
That's neat Su. The images at the bottom ala Gary Priester is a neat touch.
Competition!
This is for a rock group called The Paperboats. It is not the direction they want to go, but I really like it.
Well someone has to keep you on your toes Gary ;)) as if you really need to worry about that.Quote:

Gary: Beautiful stereogram, I like the colours and especially like the little boats at the bottom with the reflections. As Larry said I don't think you need to worry, I'm still having trouble rendering the masks for spheres, let alone anything more complex. But they are fun to do.

Here is a drawing inspired by my MIDI controller keyboard (a novation remote sl 61)

Nice work grymmjack - Does the sound diminish as the images get smaller? ;)
Zeb - You da man! Love it.
:) no, but the smaller images help me judge how usable it would be on my web site ;)Quote:

Altered the image slightly to not get in trouble.

I've been experimenting with this. I think it looks like some sort of Martian sunset.

Work in progress.
I'm intrigued Miguel. Where are you going with these?
The designs are splendid.
This is my first "serious" work at making an object look 3d in 2d in Xara which I purchased earlier this year.
Fellow Canuck Gray is my inspiration.Attachment 90952
I also have a plan view whichI shall send if this post works.
Or possibly Saskatchewan?
And the plan view as promisedAttachment 90953
Impressive for sure. Like the crisp lines and your shading. Did you use anything else besides the actual keyboaed for reference?
How did you do the ground, Frances? I'm curious.Quote:

Great thing is that I already have a buyer for a first print - someone from Brooklyn. Good incentive to work hard ;)
Very beautiful!

Amazing work and your website even more so.
I see on your website that you licence out your work.
There are several Tamils and East Indians in our office.
Would they be interested in a particular piece?
I would like to show them an example if possible.

For all your Facebookies: search for Digital Thangka (there are 2 of them - one will be me) to follow my drawing progress.
I will of course keep uploading images here but not as much as I do on my artist page :P
The website is also done entirely in Xara - still has a bug with the menu though that I have to sort out.
Fred - Your images are magical. You might consider adding a gallery (free) on Artflakes http://www.artflakes.com
Will take a look there. Thanks for the link!
Hi Zeb, apologies, I haven't been ignoring you, I havent been following this thread the last few days. I created the ground starting with two rectangles in different shades of brown, one lighter one darker, then I applied a bitmap transparency using a stone texture from the fills gallery. Then I grouped the two layers and used the embossing filter to give the texture a bit of height and next I used the mold tool and a floor perspective mold to get the perspective and to achieve the darker ground farther away I painted in some very soft shapes with the shapebuilder and gave them an enhance transparency and I lowered the brightness of the image in those areas.after that I simply clipped the whole works with the rest of the background.Quote:
