Thread: Spenner's Corner

Lies, it took 16min though it should've taken only 8min.

16 minutes IS AROUND 10 MINUTES BUT OKAY... you got me.

Your art is not crap! It's very well done and visually interesting. I wish I could paint and draw half as good as you!

Yeah that's a bit misleading. I did not appreciate art the same way I do now when I made the topic initially, hehe. But big thanks glad you like!

Alright, it's been awhile since I updated some doodles. Regardless of their receding quality to what I've made before, here they are.

Spoiler for Doodles:

Yep. A bunch of those should be flipped but I was too lazy to flip them

I was listening to daft punk while I looked at those doodles. It was oddly fitting.

Pretty damn sure I was listening to it for at least parts of some of these when making them. That might be why

Listening to Slayer while looking at them was also strangely uplifting. Good stuff!

Shitty but whatever, I felt like doing a painting-- and on the back of a ripped piece of Delissio Pizza box at that:

Spoiler for Painting:

And I've had quite a bit more photos since the ancient days that I used to update this dusty thread...

Spoiler for Photos:

and one hi-res one...

What the hell is that??

As you can see, assuming you know it's a pretty small lillypad, little waterspiders, but these ones are mating. The others moved so fast that I couldn't get a good pic of them, being so small, in focus >_> SO mating waterspiders are even better anyhow.

Wait, there's TWO of them? I only see one.

Look closely near the head-- there should be two eyes, then another pair of eyes to the second one slightly under it. They really camoflague well

Fairly plain, but I was thinking about making an animation, a minimal one, about life in this desolate dead planet.

I made the image in Flash, so I think it could easily be adapted into an animation when I have time :/

At first it seems pretty simple and boring but I find I like the idea of staring at it for awhile an imagining myself as the little black robot... depressing yet peaceful in one enigmatic ball.

The frogs and slugs are so damn trippy. Look in the colour of the frogs eyes. what the fuck....

Also I like how the last one with the dragonfly blurs, with that weird effect, double line sort of thing. The colours and space are cool too.

Holy mother of BUMP

That's all I have to say. I've been the busiest I've been my entire life

Spoiler for PEN ART:

Draft for a bigger illustration at school:

Spoiler for Vector Art:

Shitty brainstorm for a pun (FLOPPY DRIVE-- GET IT?!?!? HUEHEUHE I'M LAME)



This is shit but whatever, here:



And a portal bot I was planning to use for a background looking thing but right now this looks pretty shitty. Will have to clean it up when I have time which will be probably never =D

Spoiler for Site I had to design for school:

Spoiler for I honestly forget if I've posted this painting before, here it is again if I have :B:

Folks, what with school and work and homework (but mostly homework) I have been so inactive at such a special place D: mark my words that no matter how inactive, you will always have a special place in my heart DV

Cheers. And whatnot.

Okay, forget all of my other photography from before. I consider those all just practices with getting close and finding good focus distances :l

I still don't have a decent camera, but here's some practice with High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography that I just did today =]

Wonderful HDRs. Great framing and merging.

But, the 5th HDR is a bit too oversatured, could have less orange. The others are awesome.

Thank you and yeah, the 5th one had an ill fate to begin with :l but oh well. I plan to do more of these :]

HDR is fun to work with, but sometimes the effect it produces can be too strong. I haven't had too much success with it myself though. Would you mind explaining your process?

Do it. You are good in HDR photography.

Marvo, just take the exposures (3 or more, I usually take 5 exposures), and merge them in Photomatix, it's easy to work with it, you can set exposure and saturation to the whole HDR or each exposure.

What Brunor said; for these I took 3 exposures (at -2, 0, +2). My camera doesn't have a setting to take multiple exposure shots within milliseconds of each other, so I had to take them all separately, but most decent cameras I'd imagine can do it the easy way >_> just gotta make sure there's no movement in between each shot.

So yeah, in Photomatix, or any other HDR program (though Photomatix is generally conceived to be the best one, besides the Adobe HDR plugin for Photoshop, but that sucker is 700 bucks...) you simply click the Generate HDR button and import the exposures and it will allow you to change a great number of things to make the final product quite nice.

About the fact that yours might not have turned out as well- there's no real specific process for every image. You just have to keep adjusting things until it feels right. Personally I start with things like saturation and microsmoothing/microcontrasting, then change the overall smoothing to something I feel would work.

...Just look at this

I've tried my luck with Photoshop, but I never felt it produced better results than actually just adjusting one photo. I'll keep that link in mind next time I take a shot at HDR imaging, which probably won't be soon, since I'm not really a fan of it

Meh, just something I like playing with, not for everyone, definitely

Here's a few more I did for school:

Spoiler for Images:

This first one's pretty weak, rushed, bad exposures >_>


I'm quite content with this one though

Yep.
