ROBOT??????

YES! POST PICS! POST PICS! POST PICS!

No, sorry it's not a robot It's something nerdier and less impressive.

Hmm... well, since you asked...

Not all of those are purely my work, but they're more my work than not.

Nerdier than a robot? Oh, my.


This weekend, two small girls of close relation to myself inspired me to start playing more with my tablet. So, to break up the monotony of the forms and filings of today, I made this (in PS, from a bowl on my counter):



It's a little wobbly and malformed. And the shading is kinda flat. But it's my first "real" attempt at digital painting.


(If any of you like, I'll be more than happy to post the drawing that encouraged me toward such enjoyable efforts.)

Yes, please. =)

Yes, I'd like it if you posted the drawing that encouraged you to such efforts.

My digital painting still sucks
It's more um abstract I guess

Nerdier than a robot: A program to take a mathematical function and use it for a search-and-replace operation on RAM.

What sort of medium did you use there?

I know. I'm trying to build my own deGausser that can mess with magnetic data (particularly solid state and hard drives) from about 5 feet away (preferably more). I don't know how impossible the distance is yet, or if even 120 volts of AC current is enough to create a strong enough magnetic field for 80+ gigs of a harddrive, but, this is how i'm going to find out.

8 years old. <3 It's entitled, "Hannah's Jungle."

I've decided it helps immensely to have had classical artistic training, especially the skills to see something, it's shapes and values and colors.

Here's a thread (on another forum, obviously) I read last night and today that gave me some good ideas: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47859

What sort of medium did you use there?

Photoshop CS3 + a wacom tablet.

So... "mess with" as in "destroy"?

Not my arm, but I helped create it



I also did bruises, and a black eye!
Should I post them?

you make doing stage makeup seem like so much fun.

yes, post 'em.

I thought so, too. She spent a good 15 min. on that picture. Her level of concentration and determination and skill in overcoming the technical obstacles impressed me. Kids learn so fast.

If I'm not mistaken... You may want to be careful around old people with pacemakers... I'm pretty sure you could screw their shit up and kill them with such a device...haha. A lot of our equipment at work have very large magnetic fields and warnings for anyone with a pacemaker to stay away. Most of this equipment does have a computer inside of it though, so you'd have to make a really strong deGausser to make it work the way you want, I'd imagine. :wink:

I wish I had pictures of my coolest creation that I made in college. When I was in my last quarter at ITT, I actually made an entire town "function" on one microprocessor chip, complete with railroad around it that stopped at two stations and stop lights for the traffic when the train came through. It was a pretty cool project when all was said and done. I had streetlights (LED's) that lit up at a certain time, I even had one part where a car ran a red light at the train crossing that caused the train to stop instead of hitting it (which wouldn't happen in real life... I know ). I made sure to build in a "God" button, which was an EMO switch (not emo as it's used here, but an emergency machine off button) that made everything stop and caused life in that little town to exist. I even labeled it "God Button" on the corner of the board that I had everything on. I had pictures of it but lost them somewhere in the past 8 years...lol. but it was, by far, the coolest thing I'd ever "made."

Try and find the pictures, that sounds really cool.

I haven't seen pictures of it since I moved from Tennessee 8+ years ago... I'm pretty sure they're in my mom's house somewhere but I'd have no idea where to even look since they've moved since I lived there. I'll ask her but I'm not thinking she'll have a clue what I'm even talking about...lol.

Have you tried a lows or home depot for that metal pipe? Maybe even a plumbing place... they might even have some shit laying around if you ask... though most stuff has went to pvc... I'm sure they'd have something you could use. Or even a contractor type of place... places like where I work have metal piping all over the place... if you see a factory or building going up anywhere just swing in there and ask... you'd be surprised at how people would be willing to help if you just tell them you need it for a school project.

Yeah, the only snag i've come across is that I can strip a 18 gauge wire that i found inside a cable tv cable (LOL lucky me) but I'm not sure if it's long enough. The snag is I need a foot of a metal tube, and I'm not sure where the fuck im gonna find that in hippy town. Thanks for the heads up on the pacemaker though, I'll be careful. My ENTp friend punched out the numbers and hes like "well... it doesn't look impossible yet!" ha so that's good.

It's too bad you can't find the pics , that sounds like an awesome project.

I just drew this

I got a foot-long pipe for ya

LOL. I need to weld copper wire to that foot long pipe. You still interested?

I'm play around on my tablet now.
Any picture requests? I can draw anything but horses.
