Do You Have a Preferred Medium?

[Salty Booger]

I am an artistic fellow at times, having tried various things over the years.

Sketching
Oil Paint
Pastels
Ink
Water Colors
Sculpting in Clay
Wood Craft

What materials have you worked over the years?

I like working with pixels making digital art. The characters are often below 128x128.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I might try colored pencils in the future though.

Ink, water colors, charcoal, and computer graphics are my favorite art mediums. If I had the supplies, then welding too. I'd also love to get more into photography.

I purchased a digital drawing board recently. It didn't work for me. It was too awkward trying to draw on the board while watching the computer screen. I put it back in the box. If you know someone who wants it, I will ship it to them for free. It's just gonna sit on the shelf otherwise.

ME! Haha, unless you had someone else in mind.

then welding too.

Metal welding? My last employer had a metal sculpture in the lobby. I didn't like it because it reminded me of the scrap bins at a machine shop where I once worked.

Thanks but I probably wouldn't use it much. I have this special program where it helps me fill in the pixels individually with a mouse or finger tap and I can zoom in greatly on individual pixels. I appreciate the offer though. You're very kind.

LOL. Pm me a shipping address and it is yours. You ar quick on the draw... LOL

Yeah, I learned how to weld really well. My first college major was mechanical engineering and the school wanted us to know the practical side of it as well as the theoretical side. I did really well in the class and I'd love to get into welding sculptures sometime when I can.

No kidding? Well I'll have to take you up on that offer then. Thanks! Will the shipping cost you much though? I hate making others toss away their hard-earned money.

I don't need it so it appears it's yours.

I don't want it sitting on the shelf. I'm adamant about sharing those things that I no longer use.

many mediums.....stone has been the principle material though.
the avatar I switched to is made from 2 pieces done intarsia style which I merged digitally....a low rez version....should redo it.

The original shipping tag says 2.4lbs. I don't know that I trust USPS anymore and might send it UPs. I will let you know whether the shipping charge will break the bank. If it is within $10.00, I'm fine with that.

No kidding?

It is a VEIKK A15 PRO if you want to look it up.

I would like to create a video game that communicates and enriches. That's the medium I admire most. Another one is robotics, but for me that would not be an artistic medium just a technical one. For some people though I could see animatronics as a very rich medium. Today you can go infinitely far beyond. You can have drama and special effects and characters that leap and move about. You could make them seem lifelike or fantastical or whatever. The possibilities are your skillset.

I once took a rock to the machine shop where I worked and used the sand blaster to sculpt it into a face.

I once tried my hand at programming in C, C++. It went pretty well until my source code grew to such a degree that it became terrible difficult to debug. I don't know how programs/games are written anymore, but would be interested to learn.

Although the languages you mentioned are still used in the industry, I find the game engines often have their own easier scripting language these days. Take Unreal Engine for instance.

haven't been following the industry for years, so I don't know much about it. I did learn that I didn't want to be a programmer.
