Illustration Friday :: Climbing


Rock Climbing

Marble at the magma-tude of its task. It's boulder than I am.
Granite, it will pebble-ly make it.

Be it resolved....

This image is not of anybody in particular. It represents a stereotypical mid-to-late 1800s politician
. The image is based on this photo of Maryland politician William Pinkney Whyte. (A great name for a politician)

I couldn't decide which version if the illustration I liked best, so I decided to post both.
Which do you like best?

Illustration Friday :: Clandestine


Carl Covers Clandestine Comics
Carl was supposed to be sleeping, but the latest issue of The Charismatic Freak couldn't wait. Would he get out of his latest predicament? Could he keep his identity a secret for one more issue? Should he fight the forces of the Evil Green Freak or attend his wedding? Slumberland must wait until the answers are known!

--ooOoo--

Illustration rendered using MegaPOV Ray Tracer.
Scene was rendered at 800 x 600 resolution. The image took many hours to model. Because of the complexity of the blanket, the image took approximately 15 minutes to render. Post processing was done using JASC Paint Shop Pro 7 (now Corel). The comic book covers for HippoMan and IdiotHead were drawn using Paint Shop Pro and were mapped to the model of the comic book. The images of the superheros were generated using The HeroMachine 2.5. The game boxes under the bed and the poster on the wall were drawn and mapped in a similar fashion. A few bad pixels were fixed. The color of the poster was desaturated and the flashlight under the covers was accentuated. The image was then saturated more to give it a bit bolder colors. It was then resized bigger to 1024 x 768.

My entry for IF:I Spy... may also
qualify as Clandestine.
