Most Photoshop tutorial sites usually have a gem of a technique floating amongst pointless turds. Or the gem is totally lacking, allowing the turds to jostle for the position of king turd.

This site is different.

A chap with a set of tutorials, the majority of which actually make you think, ‘hmmm, I could use that some day’.

He is called Dennis Plucinik and his stuff can be found here.

The tutorials are marked ‘advanced’, so thickos and those who think Photoshop is neato, may want to give it a miss.

A fantastic initiative that donates 20 grains of rice every time you choose the correct definition of word displayed on the screen. Great to help alleviate world hunger and also a god way of making you less thick.

Went fishing at the local lake today and had to cut the visist much shorter than planned when Seth decided that the sweetcorn we were using as carp bait was worth more to him than it was to the fish.

Only remaining images I have of an exhibition I was involved with in 2004/2005.

The subject was ‘animals in the public service’ and contained everything from medal winning dogs to carrier pigeons. It also contained animals that were put into public service that didn’t quite work as planned, such as the Cane Toad.

Woof.

Just think how fast Mr Baxter must have gone in this!

No surname.

Archviz is something I’ve dabbled with for a while but want to get into a bit more seriously.

This is my first interior scene using vray for Cinema 4d.

The room is a simple booled cuboid shape with 8 booled windows and skylights. The light source is a single sun. None of that awful setting up twenty lights to mimic daylight nonsense with this renderer.

Thanks to whoever made the couch. It’s in as a placeholder to test lighting for the moment.

After a few suggestions from some forum members on Threadless I’ve made a few changes. This’ll probably be the version I’ll submit as I’m itching to get on with a few other ideas.

The guy in the picture is a random model from Threadless, not something I picked up from a serial killer website.

The chicken applied to a t-shirt.
I’m a tad concerned the detail of the kissing chickens is too hard to spot.
Maybe I need fewer/larger chickens…

The chicken lives!
