Real-ish cartoons

Man! Popeye is awesome!

I think the 'realistic' version of him only makes him MORE awesome. That Popeye looks like he'd seriously beat the snot out of someone. I wish they'd make a movie with this guy doing the character designs.

I really need to get a new tripod so I can take decent photos of myself.

This photo is from the built-in camera in my mac at work. Trying to get a photo of the jacket I finished earlier this week.



Like a lot of my stuff recently, I'm trying to clean out my fabric bin so this is made from scraps from other projects. It's black stretch velvet over... I don't know what the heck the red stuff is. It's sort of a stretchy shiny PVC on cloth. It doesn't show well on camera but it's sort of flecked like the big crystals you see in sheet metal except red.

Because of how much light velvet absorbs and how reflective the red bits are plus the weird crystal sort of structure in the red, the vents in it seem to glow and shimmer.


If I'd had a little more material, there are a few things I might have done different but with the limited resources, I'm happy. :)
