Digital Art

Continuing with my 3D model of the Dark Acolyte, tonight I’ve been human head modelling in Blender.

OK, I made up the word “artloader” and now I’ve come up with a definition: artloader [ahrt-loh-der] noun Someone who loads art into stuff.

I am now working on a concept picture of a Dark Acolyte Of Mymosule from my digital comic project.

I have documented my process for applying a light emitting texture to an object in Blender.

Some of my mates suggested I tarnish my logo a little since that would be more steampunky so I wondered about using Vertex Painting in Blender. This Blender Manual page on Vertex Painting gave me a good overview but I also found out that for vertex painting to be most effective, I had to have a lot of vertices. It was no…

OK so here’s the artloader.net logo. I’m gonna leave it at this because I’m in danger of spending a silly amount of time messing about with the settings in Blender. Below is the clockwork bump map image I made for this in Gimp: And here are the bronze material settings in Blender:

Here’s my 2nd logo design. I’m trying for a steampunk feel by going for a brass-like colour with clock-work type cog wheels. The 3D model was done in Blender and the cog wheel design was done in Gimp.

I needed a cog wheel image to apply as a bump map to my logo design so I had a little tinker in Gimp. Here’s my process for making a cog wheel in Gimp.
