Ok - so these are just some details and different angles of the work so far. I am being quite meticulous about defining areas and moving them around (at least this is my excuse for not being finished yet). I am having a bit of trouble with areas that won't define and it is really irritating me and thats why a whole chunk of the centre is not defined or worked on. But it will be finished one day, i hope.


A Little Progress





Just a few pics of what i have done so far...

Updated Image



Ok so here is my edited pic of myself - minor changes but its more interesting this way. I have just started to put it into 3-D now and i can tell u it is such a b*tch! I am sick of it already. TIP TO ANY1 WHO HASNT STARTED YET : make ur pic less complicated coz it will take u 5 hundred million years to define and push-pull ur areas...............

Distortion of Me...


Ok so this is what i think i want my self portrait to look like. I am still getting used to 'that program we are not meant to know anything about' so i still might make some changes. I dont know if its still a bit complicated but i think i would still like to fade out some areas and put some higher contrasts in like the small blue and green area (except i cant remember how i did that now).I dont want to have to spend 1 milliom hours pushing and pulling on sketchup! Anyways there it is.

Self Portrait Pic


Ok so here is the original picture that i am going to distort for my self portrait... Please excuse how lame the photo is - its from my Debs Ball - we had to do these embarressing head shots for the magazine!

I set the pixels to 72 or whatever so i hope it looks ok...

The Cube...




Minimal Space Project

Ok - here is my minimal space project. It is quite simple - its a piece of furniture not a house/place. It is basically a box that unfolds either to form a bed or to form a chair and coffee table. There is a storage compartment for linen and another draw for other things. It is made out of polystyrene carved into shape covered in newspaper and then covered in fiberglass (apparently) and the seperate components are joined together with hinges. The paint material function thingy is not working on my sketchup???? so the effect is not very good. The site is basically anywhere on campus - the main aim was to reduce time wasted travelling and waiting for lifts - but i prefer the studio or the sports hall (showers). Thats abou it i think.........................
