im too lazy to brush any of my renders, so i just whored one to death and back. I used some old image i'd made a looooong looooong time ago too long to forget how long or even what i did, though i can kinda see some of the things i did. Anyway i went off the top of that, and whored it with an old render and some minor brush work and a little bit of finesse and touch ups. It wasnt a big job and the results certainly arent anything worth bragging about but i thought i'd let you know im still alive. I have a few tutorials for cinema 4d written with the images uploaded and i'll probably get them up after hell week (this week is hell week @ school. teachers cram and bitch everything on us before the calm, next week, when we just cruise till xmas break. So expect them this weekend. i've tried to get em finished (still need to go over my steps in detail so that they make sense to anyone but me... i tend to write gibberish when im just scribbling and thinking and trying to pump shit out.) So if you actually read all this say Gibber in your post so i know... it'd be really cool to see if you people actually read this shit or slap a generic number on your post based off the images. Anyway, im done ranting. Rate or 'bate.



made a sig, i hate the fuck outta it but meh...


it came from this small shit hole



the text and border is fucking horrible. i just slapped it on before closing because i was fucking tired. roughly a half hour to an hour for the overall piece. Next is a variance. I love plumarias just because they're very... populace here... so i decided to base them off that type of theme. The next two are variances.



I dont know about my vines but i put some text on it (i dont know what i was thinking at the time... i wasnt... sober? dunno the word for what i was... just not my normal self.) Emo tends to creep up on me. i fucking hate the text but im lazy so they stay till im called ghey.


My final variation still isnt uploaded or in a jpg mode... but i've combined the best of both. i liked the color variation of the last one i posted but i didnt like the flower theme any more and i definantly hated the text and the vines. Now that im normal it was easy to take the shitty border and text off so i kinda applied what i learned from making each one...



This is an example of the Akule Process. I like to make an original, save it, and then toy some more, save it, and then toy some more. You get a good log of what you made and what went through you're head as you were working and you can tell a lot more about the piece and its a lot more... personal... than if you just pump out one random meaningless good looking thing.


what is art without meaning?


Thanks for the time and thanks for reading my post. Gibber on.

edit: i'd just like to say that i really got into this piece even though its not even near my best or even that good. i didnt even spend a lot of time on it. but that doesnt matter to me... because i got into this. Its kinda like inspiration.

all i can really say off the top of my head would be to mess with the composotion of the last one a little more
the flower in dead center is, well, boring
and just a small comment on the colors, the bg is a nice color, dont get me wrong, but the bright flower with stand out yellow and then super light green on the edges would do better with a brighter and color that is a little more exciting than tan
----i want to say use red, green and red contrast well, but its a bit too close to christmas for me to take suggestion seriously

oh, and the 2d tech stuff going across the bg, the stuff iuno what its called, like boxes with parts cut out, long lines or whatever, it doesnt seem to go with the rest of the piece, everything else is pretty chaotic looking and those just seem a bit too uniform, almost slapped on there just for the hell of it
the flower though, its calm and not very in your face, but its a nice contrast from the crazyness of the rest of the piece

meh, this is more fun that studying for exams (no offense though!)
