The drawingboard,

Stuff that I'm working on. The unfinished, never to be finished and, well, ongoing projects. Feedback is key to make material that is balanced. Criticisms and feedback is generally a good thing. Even if i subconsciously want to bite the head off people telling me what i should do. Likening their fate to that of a chicken at the later hours of a rave at a pot smoking voodooist hut.

A rambling analogy. I know...

I'm awful at sketching. They all look like they where made by a chicken trying to peck a novelty sized crayon up in its mouth. I do sketch but its mainly just to see the broad strokes. As, it should be, I guess, but I do feel envious of those who make sketches that look awesome.

Fiat 500 "Topolino"

Iwe doen a lot of sci-fi, and Me thinks it's time to do something else. Iwe been working on this model for a while now, trying to get the most realistic look i can for it. Tinkering and fiddling with details. Im getting to the point where i feel comoftable calling this part of the project done, and focusing now on modelling the driver.

iwe been playing with the tought of making a sweaty balding surrealisticly realistic driver with a mickey mouse hat hanging halfay out from the car.

Unimog

Versatility at its finest. just recently finishes uv mapping this beast and looking forward to getting som textures on it.

Rachel the Mechanic

This project was born out of a necessity for me to learn facial sculpting. I still suck at it, but I'm evolving in giant leaps. I'm trying to avoid as much as possible post production in Photoshop. This means that most of my time actually goes to tweaking settings, rather than actual sculpting.

This face actually spun of in to a sort of mechano-amputee soldier propaganda poster.

Quadruple G5 case project

I' we been staring at 4 old gutted G5 "cheese grater" cases trying to figure out what to do with them. Building some sort of electronics like a PC running some kind of linux distro inside them would be perfect, as they have all the essentials still intact( HD bays, DVD drive and a nifty air conditioning). But I'm not too thrilled about building just another computer for my self. I have enough of those. As the cases are quite large, I'm toying with the idea of fitting in 3-4 small motherboards and building inside one of the cases a 4x rendering computers.

Interestingly a mac mini fits snuggly in the old G5 cases. What if i would stack up a bunch of them inside the case?

I also considered just doing a extensive paint job on one of the cases. I have always wanted to mod a case to my liking, but in my opinion all the lower to middle range PC cases are butt ugly, and did not strike my fancy as a base for a mod.
