Stop and POST - Jan 2005

[Thatch]

Time for my bi-annual stop into TG. Since I continue to be unable to do much in Xara these days I don't get much chance to stop by here. I did however have a couple of designs to do this last weekend which prompted me to buy X1. Xara is still a lot of fun to use and as soon as those projects were done I was back to playing around with it. Here are the results. Nothing grand of course, just play. Its...

and a closer shot, without the "sketch" layer on.




That's it. Perhaps one of these days I'll have a finished project to show off. 'Til then I guess you just get the occational odd experiment out of me.

Lots of good work here these days. It's good to see things still going strong.

Was the "plasma" effect itself done using a fractal shape? It looks like one...

Part through a drawing of Scarper, my parents' cat. First work I've done in Xara for months and certainly the first time I've attempted this style in Xara (usually use Expression). Lots still to do but a great learning process.

Min,
You're going to have to give us a little tutorial on creating the cat hair and soft edges ... looks great!

Love these monthly "stop and posts" threads!

It's always great to see all the different styles, and images people are working on.

Thanks for sharing!

I haven't really been drawing for a while. The only thing I been playing around with lately, was to try and come up with a quick sketch "style" to use on my Ask Dog site.

Risto ... haven't seen you in a while ... welcome back! I love the lined paper, it makes me think of those notes we used to send to each other during class ... and then had to read aloud when we got caught. Ahh ... the memories.
