DONE BEFORE GDC
I dont normally do this grungy look ,but im happy with its progress!
#b3d #starwars #stormtrooper
We all know Return of the Jedi isn't canon because the Ewok movies show Wicket spoke basic at the time.
That is extremely cool - what format was it?
Always great to see this era!
just about on my favorite part, texturing!
just a detail or two to add, pack the uvs (The TD is all over the place) and then bake

A photo of a box from an ebay listing of a Rubies Stormtrooper 'Collector's Helmet,' featuring the same promotional photo used in the car photoshop. Source: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203225050579
A front view photo of the same helmet, still in-box, showing how soft and slightly odd is shape was. This one is still in pretty good condition though others could reallly deflate based on environmental temperature conditions. Source: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203225050579
It always just slightly bothered me that this classic Photoshop used one of the rather funky-looking 'Rubies' stormtrooper helmets, with a very soft finish.
You'll think that, right up until you get blindsided with a brief Ahsoka flashback scene recreating some of the Clone Wars finale with her and Maul aboard a venator in live action! /jk
We'll have to see if the upcoming Mandalorian movie breaks or reinforces this system :D
two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games
the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.
My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.
Awesome stripe pattern!
Love the depth of field and soft color palette!
Enjoy! I also did a re-watch for the first time since it aired a couple of years ago, and I do think it will be better spaced out rather than binge-watched. Also having downtime between watching where we all speculated what could happen was a great part of the original experience.
In 2000 I also played a ROM of Gold version for a while in Japanese before it came out in the US, and I think just made up names for things like Sentret that hadn't yet been named in English. Just had to memorize the position of moves in the menu as I couldn't read any of it.
A photo of a 1999 or 2000 promotional plastic folder for Pokemon Card Neo (the release of generation 2 Pokemon cards), with a reflective gold metallic finish, primarily Japanese text, and cutouts in the cover showing the Japanese cards for the starter Pokemon. An inside flap is partly folded out, showing official artwork for a handful of other new gen 2 Pokemon. Source is an ebay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/285164650742 but we also had one irl back in the day.
A photo of the folder opened to show more gen 2 Pokemon artwork, centered around Lugia, and the cards for all 3 starters and their evolutions.
The closed cover of the folder, showing a stylized decorative Pokemball shapes and the energy symbols from the card game, again on a shiny gold backing, inside of a plastic folder cover.
All this Pokémon talk reminds me of another ~1999 memory, when someone at my school came back from Japan with these Pokémon Neo promo folders, before everything was officially announced/named in the West. Hype was off the charts. Not my photos, they're from an ebay listing, but it was this exact one
Amazing!
This Tyrannosaurus model is not strict palaeoart, but instead an exploration of a more stylised character that I would pitch if I were in charge of making a dinosaur movie.
The core anatomy of T. rex is there, but many aspects have been exaggerated and accentuated to my tastes.
A digitally colored pencil sketch of Ash Ketchum and 20 of the original Pokémon, drawn in profile and to scale with their official sizes, with a roughly drawn scale bar in feet. Shown are Magnemite, Grimer, Jynx, Charmander, Squirtle, Scyther, Nidoking, Mewtwo, Kabutops, Electrode, Gyarados (just the head, the body is cut off on the side), Mankey, Moltres, Haunter, Beedrill, Pidgeotto, Porygon, Geodude, Mew, and Koffing.
Apparently it is Pokémon day- 30 years! I am old enough to have seen the first movie in theaters, the hype for Gen II Pokémon was wild. Here was some ~15 year old quick sketchy Pokémon fan art of mine, I was always into scale charts, but only drew 20/151 here.
Gone and did some new renders focusing on the Pokémon gym badge case to help show off some details lost with the animation

A promo image for The Future is Wild, depicting a CGI speculative evolution-imagined descendant of a flying fish that the series dubbed a 'flish,' looking mostly like a normal robust beaked fish, but also with some extendible jaws. It is somewhat poorly composited with a splash and an ocean and sky background. Also the render of the flish cuts off abruptly before the borders of the image. It also has shutterstock watermarks.
Also a solid theme song. I had a version of this image as my desktop background for a little while back then.

The ending in question (which I think is very well done!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnR-...
A screenshot from the ending of Dinosaur! (1985), showing an adorable cross-eyed opossum emerging from beneath the weathered skeleton of a dinosaur, symbolizing the rise of mammals following the K–Pg extinction event.
A screenshot from the ending of Walking with Beasts (2001), showing ordinary human museumgoers enjoying themselves examining a replica woolly mammoth and observing skeletons of extinct Ice Age animals.
Endings of most paleo documentaries: "It's too bad these wonderful creatures went away, but their absence led to us!" (Optimistic music!)
Walking with Beasts (2001): "If all this has taught us anything, it's this: No species lasts forever. You're next." (The most ominous music you've ever heard)
A view of the bodice of a purple and red striped gown with a high crossover treatment at the neck, sleeves above the elbow and a line of ball style buttons that fasten at the side of the waist
Full length view of the purple and red striped 1950s dinner dress by Claire McCardell showing how the fitted crossover bodice radiates out onto a long, full skirt
Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Looking awesome!
A behind the scenes photo of the large engineering set under construction, a wide arched hall with a reactor tube running down it into the distance. The perspective from the foreground to the background looks consistent, yet a fully grown man is crouching at the rear of the set, and it is clear that if he stood he would be far taller than the ceiling. source: https://third-wave-design.com/2017/12/02/sketchy-engineering/

A screenshot from Star Trek: The Motion Picture showing a suited-up engineer in the background of the set, who we know based on the other photos must be a child standing on an angle!
Images of one of the child-sized costumes and some of its accessories. In close-up, you can tell that they are made much more simply than the full-size costumes, for example with the black border on the Starfleet insignia patch just drawn on in sharpie instead of embroidered!

A fun Casablanca-style thing in Star Trek: The Motion Picture: to get more bang for their buck from the Engineering set, they built the end of this long reactor shaft with severe forced perspective, and had some child actors in child-sized costumes halfway back there to sell it. Here are pics:
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
