Asia Room

Asia Room

This week I have begun working on the 3rd room in my surreal room. The room is going to represent Asia and so far I have done Russia. I'm really learning the software more and more now. My next thing I would like to learn is how to create terrain.

At The End Of The Tunnel

At The End Of The Tunnel

This is a piece that I made for a contest on worth1000.com. I didn't finish the project in time for submittal but I did make a decent piece in my opinion in a fairly short amount of time. The idea of the piece is to illustrate the hope or the light that is in everyone no matter their situation or state of being. Also if you would like to view my finished Dali piece The Birds it is below this paragraph.

The Birds

This is a piece I like to call The Birds. It's a piece I'm making somewhat based off a tutorial yet I'm putting my own spin on it. As you can tell I'm not done yet but its going well so far. I started with nothing but the background (the sun/sky) and made the orbs, selected the woman and inserted her, created the meteors with nothing but an image of a rock and a brush, and have made multiple (A LOT) of custom color adjustments to get the surreal feel and integration. I should have it done by friday and I'm hoping it comes out nice.

Surreal Room: Americas

Surreal Room: Americas

The lag that I have been talking about in my blogs recently has thankfully been fixed so now it's back to work on the surreal house. So far I have done a little work on the Americas room based on, as you might have guessed, the Americas. I would like to be further along but in the process of making the room I ran into some problems importing some .3DS files and that slowed me down a little bit. Though the beginning of this project might have been a pain, I find out more and more about the software as I go and it's turning out to be a huge learning experience.

This week I'm working on making a room in Archicad but not just any room. I have to make the room fit in with our current surreal projects. My idea is really the stairs in the center of the room going to up to Heaven and down to the other place, then I have the four corners, representing the four corners of the world or the four continents. In each room I'm going to put things that represent whatever continent that the room is representing. When I'm finished I think this could really be a nice piece  but for now this is a really good learning experience.

First Archicad Project

This is what I have made so far in my new Archicad software. It's not much yet but it will soon take shape. Rooms like the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen are not even close to being done yet but I just wanted to show what I have done so far.

This week in graphics i have so far done nothing. Why you might ask? There are a few reasons actually. One would be because my main software (Archicad) will not load... at all. It won't even open my project. See when Archicad doesn't load I usually go back to photoshop but the lag is so bad that i can't even paint a simple picture. So I can't even use photoshop. Honestly I'm surprised that I can even blog right now. "I'm sorry I had to put ya'll in this position, vent to ya'll" as Drake said but there's nothing I can do. I'll try to have a blog that takes a tour through my current progress with my house by the end of the week but if I don't you know why.
