Lighting makes a difference. The officers’ pub from the interplanetary cruiser #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. #blender3d #aesthetics #design #blender3dart
Enjoying a peaceful fall moment while it’s possible. Taking these moments as they come.
That’s my daughter in the hoop. Pippin Oct 21-23 and 27-29.
The first officer’s office adjoins the officers’ pub, because of course it should. Working with lighting and textures for my #steampunk #neovictorian #blender3d project. #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Why It’s So Hard For Foley Artists To Make Footstep Sounds
According to Foley artist Stefan Fraticelli, who’s worked on TV shows like “Parks and Recreation” and “Fargo” and movies like the “Conjuring” series, footsteps are the most challenging sound for a Foley artist to master. Finding the right footwear, surface, and sync is not always straightforward.
Learning the hard way, by making mistakes and starting over. The fore section of the fantasy #steampunk spaceship from the bedtime stories I used to tell my (now adult) children. So much brass and glass! #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

Random #steampunk workstation with a porthole, because why not. Most of the surfaces are flat, with lovely details added through bitmap magic. Those curved stairs, when stacked, form a spiral staircase. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Behind the art: The Westmoreland’s ‘Death of Elaine’ beloved of staff and visitors
I always slow down and spend some time with this painting when I visit my local art museum. This scene from the Arthurian legends has been out of exhibition for a while and will be back with a new frame Oct 16. A scene of mourning at Camelot, the castle of the legendary King Arthur,…
Engrossing but difficult to watch: “Man in Cave” documentary on caver Floyd Collins
I’m conflicted. This is a very well done animated documentary, creating visuals that were not part of the original press coverage of Floyd Collins, the caver trapped in Sand Cave in 1925, and the subject of the first media circus, fed by the emerging new medium of radio journalism. The animation adds sight gags and…
First time experimenting with depth of field. The pilot’s perch in a fancy #steampunk cruiser. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Combined, base color, roughness and metallic passes. #Blender3d steampunk control panel.
Many things in the world are awful. But creating this #steampunk #blender3d control panel helped me pass an hour or two quite joyfully. #design #aesthetic
The Lost Art of Paste-Up
When I started using a word processor as a middle schooler in the early 1980s, I recognized the editing commands “cut” and “paste” as metaphors. Here’s a short video showing the physical cutting and pasting that was required to arrange paragraphs of text prepare a document for mass production. According to layout rules, you’re not…
