Tuft of wool

2012-01-28T12:41:00.000-08:00

There is a proverb in russian, it means that you can have at least a tuft of wool from a bad sheep. I have found one in english that is represented as analog to it "You can have no more of a cat but her skin." I'm not sure that it means the same, but anyway i gave you two proverbs on your choice ))

It is the first windows version of Krita test. Krita is an open-source painting application with great possibility!!!

Funny Alphabet for iPad

2011-11-25T00:50:00.000-08:00

After 6 months of work we released our project. It is on AppStore now and i'm really happy!
It is Alphabet with interactive objects that move and sing when you touch them. That's why it wasn't so easy to draw all of them as i thought initially.
All art i made in my favorite MyPaint

AppStore Link - some screenshots are there.

Pencil Animation 3

2010-12-15T05:11:00.000-08:00

"Pencil" gives possibility to create ink contours over pencil, so it looks more sharp.

Test of funny walking goofy character .

Domestic quarrel

2010-12-14T06:53:00.000-08:00

It is bad when parents argue, even worse if both are fathers.

I'm not tolerant.

Pencil Animation 2

2010-12-13T02:53:00.000-08:00

There was animation school in my city when was young. The education was free for anybody , you just had to make a test on admission, and it was for children only. Cartoons made in this school by children won prizes on international festivals. My older sister learned there. Every day after school she was going on lessons of drawing, painting, composition etc. I was too young to attend that classes, so i was just watching her painting homework. Actually I wasn't interested in painting, i wanted to make my characters jump, run, hit, fall..... i didn't knew that it is necessary for animator. And one day school was closed. It was time when soviet union stopped its existence, nobody was interested in that kind of schools, especially free schools. I wold like to make classes here, but there is nobody to teach.

This is a sad story of why i am doing this by myself :) I have some books about animation and youtube tutorials, so i will be 2 in 1 - teacher and pupil. Unfortunately i don't know the methods, so i will invent them myself :) good luck

Here is another Pencil animation .

Here is a commission i made in MyPaint.

iPhone painting

2010-11-26T01:23:00.000-08:00

Three days ago my old dream came true - i've got iPhone. It is not new, not very fast but i like it. This is a long and unnecessary debate about addiction, glamour etc. I like it because i like it and thats all.

Yesterday i have found app for it called Brushes. Well.. here is the result :))

I think it is always better to have a paper and a pencil with you to draw something when you are not working on computer, but for fun it can be used .

Country Houses

2010-11-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Despite the word "Blender" in the title of the blog, last months i was just watching news about it.

It is because of drawing and painting passion that manifested recently.

There was flood in my country this summer and Government has pledged to build new houses for flood victims.Our company has developed standard designs, and I was asked to perform 3D visualization. I used a Blender and internal renderer and a very short time to get it. I'm not happy with many of the details, but during the period that I was - this is the maximum that I could do.Conclusion: i need to learn:)

Red Mill

2010-10-10T13:32:00.000-07:00

My first test in MyPaint

I was impressed how easy i can mimic watercolor in this program.

Live ABC

2010-10-06T04:49:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about making another blog for my 2d experiments in other software and not to contaminate this one, but considering that i am not writing here often and there are no constant readers (except one) i think i'll put all in one :)

About two years ago i made myself a gift - graphic tablet Genius. The price was attractive. Actually i was preparing to work on game project but the client changed his mind and my tablet remained idle. Some times i tried to do something for speedpaint contest and nothing more, but in the beginning of this summer i occasionally got job as a freelancer - illustrating 70 page children book "Live ABC" by V.Pelagowww.pelago.ru. I was using Corel Painter for it, because author wanted psd files with layers, but during the work i discovered amassing small and open source program called MyPaint. I used it for sketching. But first of all i was impressed how easily can be imitated watercolor. I'll post tomorrow something.

My first stock luck

2010-10-05T09:01:00.000-07:00

First time i heard about photo stock approximately 3 years ago, but i couldn't sell my photos there because there was not enough Mpixels or something like that :), so i could just read about big money that stockers are making there. I almost forgot about it, but one day i read post on www.blenderburu.com about how to make money with blender , about that lucky guy that still making thousands of dollars with one single picture etc. That day, it was about a year ago, i decided to try it myself, to render something and to put it there to see how it works. My first pictures were pumpkins for Halloween following tutorials from www.blendercookie.com and... nothing happened. It was New years eve when the idea appeared. I spent half of a day tweaking fur (actually grass from Andrew Price tutorial), texture and lighting and here is the result. It was wonderful time - almost every day i was notified that my picture was sold. This lucky:) picture shot 51 times. I haven't made much money with it. Actually it wasn't my aim, I just made sure that i can use Blender not just for fun. Since then i sol nothing on that stock :) So be it. I am satisfied

Render - internal

Forgotten Hero

2010-09-23T06:08:00.000-07:00

Long time since my last post here. Even now i have nothing new to show because all this tine i wasn't working in Blender, I was working on 2d illustration project for russian abc book "Live ABC" by V.Pelago (www.pelago.ru), maybe i'll post something here later.

Even so I've found a picture, that i forgot to post here.

It is a story about forgotten hero from the company of turtles ninja. His name is Picasso ))

Made as a test in Blender 2.5, Internal render

model

simple armature applied (simple because i can't do another :) )

and here is all bunch - Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatelo and... Picasso

Vray test[1]

2010-05-04T04:34:00.000-07:00

The best way to explore the program - this selfless passion for research, or Commercial order to work. Here I tried to combine both points - made a model in Blender and render it in Vray.
