June 2013 Video Tutorial: Carved in Stone

I don't think we're going to have xaraxone.com up for the rest of the day. It is definitely MAGIX's server Admin discovered, and no one is answering email, like sane people do on the weekend.

Sorry!

It's gotta be the servers at MAGIX, folks.

Admin is alerted, we'll see what we can do.

Probably unplug something, then plug it back in.

Tried to envisage what G.B. had in mind when he did his g sketch. My attempt is not very good but it's given me food for thought

Stygg—

You have the essence of what I'd envisioned, you truly do, except for an area or two that is dis contiguous, but I'm sure you see those areas, right?

I had two advantages over you, Stygg:

1.) I didn't use a computer. Sometimes when you draw freehand, expression and ideas come more quickly.

2.) I was on excellent pain-killers. That's what I miss the most from my hospital stay.

By the way:

Xaraxone.com is back up. 9:00am NY DST time.

My Best,

Gary

P.S. The July Xara Xone will be a little late due to another hospital visit this week, and the reality that I started late last month, and that Gary P.'s reviews just came out and the top page is going to burst if I add one more article.

Gary I hope I have not disturbed your rest, I posted the image for the rest of the xone crew to view and comment, please excuse me if I have disturbed your convalescence.

No apologies needed, Stygg. I'll be fine until Wednesday :(

I'm just stating a fact, probably over-sharing, and I'm a big boy and know when to login and when to stay in the physical universe.

My Best,

Gary

Thanks, Frank.

Actually, they're round, about the size of a large button battery, and pale lemon coloured, Frank.

;)

Marvelous illustration, though, and very nice carved effect!

i was working from memory and decided to actually take one out to look at
they look vaguely like that but no writing on them
so much for drawing from memory
kudos to poetic licence!

[Gare]

Not to glorify controlled substances and narcotics (!), let's get back to the splash screen, and I see several times the BMP I posted has been downloaded.

Was anyone successful at using opposing colours as I mentioned and put in that file?

Tried to improve on the g light and shade and I think I got it a little better
Difficult to do from a sketch but enjoyable.
