Bugle

[molucca]

Laura found an old Bugle at a shop in town. I have never seen a copper bugle before. It got to be my birthday present. Old and worn like me.

I drew objects in Xara. Some were extended into the shape for environment coloring to hide the end effects.

I exported te drawing in EPS and colored the objects in E3. The environment was from a copper elbow I saw in a hardware store.

Then back to Xara for coloring and texturizing. I used Mezzoforce Ice 1.03 for random color changes and grayscale texture tiles in Xara for bitmap transparancies. A little contone recoloring for a little green. Just a matter of changing overlay images until you get something you like.
