I've been looking into anthotypes recently and thought they were pretty interesting.

Then I started to wonder if it was possible to make an anthotype that could display multiple colors (like a colored photograph).

I came across this post and thought it was like the reverse of a regular anthotype.

Which made me wonder if you could use the same process to create a colored picture?

I was thinking if you took plants that produce pigments across the color spectrum and mixed them together it could make the coating black.

Then when the light hits the paper it removes the pigments from the other colors on the spectrum only leaving the color that was hit in that space eventually creating a colored picture.

I haven't had the chance to try this yet and I am not really knowledgeable about photography, but would this work?

GIFV TranscriptionA "live" wallpaper featuring one nearby orange planet, one semi-destroyed green planet, and a large grey moon outside a window. They zoom way out then back in closer than they started.

A plain white clock reads out "12:00 Tue, September 24" over the window.

Below that centered above a row of grey app icons is a small sun icon and "33°".

At the bottom of the screen there is a shiny dark computer console styled app dock. The apps in this dock are translucent blue with glowing edges.

The screen is swiped to the side, hiding the clock and weather, and revealing new grey icons. Two icons are then activated to open a dark translucent background over them with additional blue translucent icons contained in the dark background.

The screen is then swiped back to its original position.

I've been watching a lot of Star Trek lately and wanted to make a fun space themed wallpaper (and icon pack) for myself.

For this project, I painted each of the planets and debris on separate layers in Procreate and designed the ship/window wallpaper in Illustrator. While lining up each layer was a pain, having them move independently was crucial to give the wallpaper a sense of depth.

Surprisingly, getting the clock widget and weather widget to look right was much harder than anticipated. I couldn't find any open source customizable clock widgets; and Breezy Weather was not as customizable as I had hoped. In the end I think the results turned out great, though.

I FINALLY GOT IT. Since I got back into photography a few months ago, I've been trying to get a good picture of this sonuvabitch, but I always miss it. They don't usually track military test flights, but for some reason this one was, and I just happened to catch it before it landed for the day. After this shot, it flew out of sight and ended its test flight, but I got it!

Military industrial complex go brrrrrrr, but this is also used for more pleasant things, like FEMA drops and such.

Shot with a Canon Rebel T7, 300mm lens focused at 135mm, ISO 100, exposure 1/250 sec.

Man I love living under a landing pattern! Took this last month, and I'm pretty stoked at how it came out.

Took this on my evening walk, figured I'd share with the Internet \o/ Wife pointed it out, "There it is, get it get it!" I'm lucky to have such an awesome spotter by my side :)

I am America.

I am the blue sky above you.

I am the rainbow puddle in a parking lot

that you must step over.

I am your commute to work.

I am the dead dog on the side of the highway,

bloated.

I am pride,

and I am ignorance.

I am the underpaid teacher

and the kid selling weed.

I am all your faults.

I am all your dreams.

I am the man in line

not wearing a mask.

I am your lack of healthcare.

I am your uncle, your sister,

your friend.

I am America.

I finally finished a painting last night that I'd been picking away at for too long 😅

Image description is on the toot; I try to be thorough with them. Hopefully you creative people enjoy my artwork!

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.

Image transcription: A blue stylized shirt with the logo of The Wash from SpongeBob, a sticker of a squashed Plankton, a sticker resembling Squidward's "I really wish I weren't here right now" pin, a sticker resembling Mr. Krabs' mom's underwear, a keychain of Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and Patrick playing D&D, a BFF ring (which I didn't make), and a Chum Bucket bucket to hold everything.

Hand done wood burning on mahogany. It's an image from the game manual of Tunic (if you haven't played, the manual is unlocked by finding its pages during gameplay). After cleaning up the enlarged image a little bit I transferred the image by hand with carbon paper before sitting down to do the burning in of the image.

I hope Baudelaire orphans are still recognizable, despite it being a mishmash of various canonical designs and also some of my ideas

I've been drawing for about a year and I seem to be improving

My latest completed project in Blender. We haven't had any snow here yet so I figured I'd make some digital snow instead. It's been a while since I made a snowy scene so it was nice to get back into that again. Also gave me the chance to learn and practice some new terrain tools I got and had been meaning to take for a spin.

Thank you for looking!!

Source for the model (Also not mine)

I painted it using a some Army Painter Speed paints, some Vallejo Paints, Apple barrel craft paint, and Rust-Oleum primer.

It's not the best I've done but I'm still happy with how it came out.

EDIT: After some digging I was able to find the original art that was used for the stat block. Link

Hey all you crafty creatives

I want to invite you to submit prizes for the upcoming Awesome Games Done Quick event to benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation. I've donated a few prizes in the past and plan to submit one this time around too, but it would be really awesome if any of you decided to donate some time and creativity as well. Not only will the prizes help incentivize more donations, but it would be fun to see what others are coming up with and the various mediums we all work in. The prize submission page can be found here.

On a personal note - someone very close to us has had a recent negative development with their cancer, and it would really mean a lot if even one of you helps to raise funds for research to develop better testing and treatment. Fuck cancer.
