Gary Bouton's non-Xara Art II

[Gare]

This is not a photo, at least not the composition. I carefully trimmed around several different leaves, defined them as Painter nozzles, and then stroked a little while. I then added a little 55mm digital effects (a suite of PS plug-ins), and hopefully the result looks natural and photographic.

why do we have diet soda, diet meals, diet candy, but light beer? Why not "Diet Beer"?

Interesting question Gary. I'd say a light beer in the UK refers to a lower alcohol content, not a lower calorie content.

Good sketch tho

Thanks for that, egg.

Reduced alcohol content is also part of the "light" claim here in the USA, but it's sold as a "less filling" drink because there are also less carbohydrates...which is part and parcel of less alcohol.

But in the final reel, the US breweries (foreign-owned, but still on US soil!) feel the term "diet" is synonymous with a sissy drink, thus the fudge term "light".

My Best,

Gary

I think you took a walk in the woods, re-enacting the Blair Witch Project with a torch, and it was just there.

Did anyone actually afix a penny or a quarter to the tone arm to stop skips on your 45s?

I did, because pressings in the USA were so crappy and warped in the 1960s.

My Best,

Practicing my glass off in Maxwell Render. The models are mine, C4D.

And it was a SOB making the jigsaw puzzle floor bump map...

Well I suppose it was but you did a beautiful job of it. In fact the whole thing is nice,

Larry, as long as I have your attention, may I ask if the render is photorealistic enough to be mistaken for a photograph?

TIA,

Gary
