Very nice job!

Do you use that cannister to hold the batteries for your Digital Camera now?

**-=Drifter=-** · 31 May 2006, 07:03 PM

Thanks, James.
hahahahaha, no, actually it's got all kinds of little trinkets in it, some old game pieces, some beeds, etc.

Congratulations Bob.....another job well done. I have been down loading all your files and they are starting to consume a fair bit of my hard drive. If I have to buy a bigger one, do I get to send the bill to you? Now in the process of trying to duplicate the lid. Might not be using the same techniques but am getting close to the results you have created. Not the same though, you're creating and I am coping.........now, I think I have to put one of egg's blend into it somewhere, just to prove that I am learning something.

Thanks Frank, i feel honored. I BELIEVE i used a diamond fill on the top, if that helps. Tried to smooth out all the edges with feathering, in case the pic looks blurry and you think it's your eyes going....

i didn't use any of egg's blends in that one because blended eggs makes for a scrambled drawing (that one's for YOU, NORMAN!!!!! hahahahahaha)

oops, i take that back, i DID put a blend in it.....

Once upon a time, many years ago, i found two dentist's chairs, a silver platter, and a silver dental spitcup all by a dumpster behind a dentist's office. I inspected the chairs and they looked ok, so i went and got a friend with a truck and we got it all.
I set up the two chairs in my living room, plugged them in, and wheeeeeee! You could go up down, around, back, whatever - while watching tv. I eventually got rid of those, somehow lost the silver tray, but i still have the spitcup, and here it is.....

My smaller pic is the actual picture - the larger is a bitmap of it. For some reason i was NOT able to enlarge the small pic without losing a LOT of shading and stuff - what's up with that????? And WHY is the .xar file so large?????

One is the spittin' image of the other apart from size.

hahahahahaha, oh norm.......

Now you need to make that cup really big and fill it up with beer!

It looks nice.

The .xar file is big because it contains the bitmap file that you made.
I was able to save your .xar file and enlarge the cup and then export it to a gif file using Error Diffusion on the quality and it looks fine and is only 11kb. and that is about the size of the .xar file now too.

NOw I see what you mean. Some of the smoothness and roundess that you had on the rim and base of the cup gets lost when you make it bigger.
