Light Bulb

Being inspired by Rik's bulb, I drew this bulb and for the filament and it's connection I have drawn them from an old tut. by G.P. The original filament was two coloured lines, I used the same,lines, but one white and one with a tinge of blue then made a blend. Not as good as Rik's bulb but pleased (reasonably) with the outcome

Like it a lot Stygg. Kinda reminiscent of Rik's scribble. Never the less great job.

I did say in my post Larry that I was inspired by Rik's bulb and made my own attempt but adding the filament and a couple of other things from a G.P. tutorial.

Thanks for the permission, Stygg.

The glass part of the bulb is really very good and, personally, I wouldn't make any changes to that.
However...
The bayonet, I thought, needed a little more work.

So, here's my take on it.
Of course I could have done a brass look as in your original.
But, I decided to do a silver one.

What do you think?

First class Rik, I wish I'd come up with the silver in the first place. Your take on it now gives the image a photo realistic look. Will use your silver on a copy of the brass one. Cheers Rik, excellent changes.
