An interesting technique...

[Bob C.]

Kinda like a smudgy charcoal drawing but in 3D.

I'm really taken by it and as Soquili mentioned, I don't recall ever seeing anything quite like this!

Really very nice! Thanks for posting it.

The creature in the foreground is a poor representation of a pigeon. It was hard to draw - pesky thing kept moving. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

In Gary's wrinkled paper thread I've posted a version of the sketch on - you guessed it - wrinkled paper. To keep Gary from getting mad at me I made it sepia-toned. Thanks for that suggestion Gary. It makes the old sketch look suitably old.

The idea of putting a 'glow'-type shadow doesn't work. To a transparent bitmap you can apply a wall or floor-type shadow but they won't take the glow style properly. You can of course fake a glow with the wall-type by positioning directly behind and increasing its blur. I tried it with a sketch and it looks interesting.

then my assumption was right. Pigeons, at least where I live, are called rats with wings.

I like the wrinkled paper version in the other thread, very realistic looking.
