Surreal Drawings, Paintings and Murals by Rustam QBic

Surreal Drawings, Paintings and Murals by Rustam QBic | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Via Annie Brightstar
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

With a wildly surreal imagination, artist Rustam QBic from Kazan, Russia creates fish adorned with houses and windows, elephants sprouting giant buildings, and a goose whose feathers are made from a ocean of angry waves. Almost every one of his creations, be it on paper or on a wall is brimming with wonderful ideas and often have to be viewed up close to appreciate their full detail. He most recently completed murals for the LGZ Festival and for Art-Ovrag 2013.

 

Here's a proof that you can paint on anything and make great Art.

The Lost Thing 2010

The Lost Thing is a 15 minute animated short film based on the highly acclaimed picture book by multi award winning author and illustrator, Shaun Tan.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

When the anonymous narrator of The Lost Thing, a fifteen-minute animation born of Shaun Tan’s all-ages picture book, attempts, instead, to identify it empirically through careful observation,.

When the scientific approach fails, he's leading it through a grimy landscape where sanitation  deflate beach balls with pointy sticks after the joyless holiday crowds are dismissed, a vision of steampunk in defeat.

If a near-Earth object happened to come hurtling dangerously close to Earth, the manned mission to gather samples from the captured object might look something like this.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

NASA is still developing a redirect mission as part of its asteroid initiative, but released this concept in the form of this video and a gallery of images this week. In this notional concept video, the asteroid has already been captured by capture vehicle. A two-person crew travels nine days in the planned Orion spacecraft to rendezvous with the captured asteroid and collect samples of the object. The video doesn't bring us to the actual redirection, instead focusing on the manned portion of the mission.

First iClone Scene: Where to Start

A simplified scene showing how to add terrain, sky, characters along with camera placement and camera switch usage to switch between multiple cameras. Show more of this comment to see a detailed timeline of the tutorial. 

This is a BEGINNERS level tutorial that covers basics of creating a scene including simple Persona driven animations. This does not cover polished animations but focuses on the basic mechanics of a scene. Where to start is a commonly asked question for new users to iClone and 3D animation in general and its hoped this tutorial will help get new users started down the animation road.

Some of the photos would be funny and interesting to show students, and then have them answer what is incorrect in the tattoo (warning for some innapropriate placement of tattoos--those would be left out in the classroom, of course).
