Default Stop & Post July 2008

July is here and half the year has gone.

Is it just me or does time go by faster than ever?

Please take time to show us some of your Xtreme art, be it completed images or works in progress.

Bill, I think there's a mathematial theory that explains the phenomenon of time appearing to pass more quickly the older one gets, but when I was told it, I think my eyes must have glazed over and my mind wandered. I remember nothing about it now. (another sign of the aging process I suppose).
Attached is a logo I'm in the middle of designing. The fern is just a blend of 2 curved lines. I was wondering if it were possible to prevent the black line that appears on the lower edges of the leaves upon extrusion. I created the blend to a curve which had no colour, and which I removed after converting to editable shapes prior to extruding.
Saludos,
Bob.

Very effective Bob. The black lines are not supposed to be there. Try removing the extrusion and reapplying it.

I worked out where I was going wrong. After converting the blend to editable shapes and ungrouping to remove the curve,
I regrouped but should have then converted line to shape, which did the trick.
Saludos,
Bob.

I've been wanting to find an easy way of making a wavy flag for a long time, I may even animate it.

You're not alone However it started to slow down a little recently... rest of the year may be slower.

Nice. How "easy" is it to create this effect?

As usual I don't have any completed drawings to show, just a few quick portraits (well just faces, not portraits .

Compared to doing it with gradient fills etc, very easy

Ron I like your ram. I think it would still look good without the flag. The movements are very apt.

Started out with Egg's ray making instructions in this thread by codered, Making Rays and wound up with this.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of everyone else's WIP this month,
Harry
