I drew a thing!
« on: June 19, 2011, 04:16:40 pm »
It kind of sucks!



It's more of a sci-fi storytelling device than picture, though.

Opinions?

It would appear to be some manner of HUD embedded in the helmet of a soldier. There is some manner of emblem or logo in the lower right corner of the drawing. Those squares may represent the manufacturer of the gear or the employer of the soldier, though one would expect such an emblem to be accompanied by some terrestrial language, as the words on the HUD appear to be in English, but it is not a large leap of the imagination to suppose that the manufacturer or the employer may well be alien, and, thus, they could perhaps find some meaning in colored rectangles.

Fenrir smiles.

I knew what the “emblem” really is. I was just having fun.

This would appear to be the helmet constructed by T'ylkeh Industries. It was built for soldiers manufactured by the genetic engineering division as the dots in the emblem indicate. This line of equipment is included in packaged solutions that they offer inter-planetary governments for ship-to-ship assaults. It is presently inactive.

This would make fun forum game. You draw something absract for the public to interpret, and you expand and refine it based upon their interpretations, as though Mandlebrot had been a game designer.

Damn. It is spelled ”Mandelbrot”, and I was thinking of Hermann Rorschach, not Benoit Mandelbrot. Those inkblot tests have nothing to do with fractal geometry.

kk, you know how to make this a transparent blue?

Do I just apply a blue filter to it?

I could make it clear...

but then I'd actually have to draw shit

sigh....

What software are you using? To make it tranlucent, you would need to put the blue on a seperate layer and reduce the layer's opacity.

EDIT: I think I misunderstood. If you want to make everything a shade of blue, desaturate it, fill a layer above it with blue, and reduce the opacity of the blue layer.

EDIT AGAIN: Do not concern yourself very much with rigorous work. We are not the picky sort, and fun things can still come from hasty art.
