In 2019, I built my first character (Cibo from Blame), and I was actually really content with my results back then. The model was posable and even had proper fingers! Yesterday, I decided to model the same character again (with actual references this time), and I am generally happy with my progress over the last five years.
A pain to rig, though. Maybe less articulate clothing is a better thing after all.
Thanks! It's a kind of unusual manga, very little dialogue and a rather vague story, but absolutely stunning visuals and endlessly expansive architecture. Personally, I love it and would recommend it, if you're up for lots of concrete.
The conglomeration of artists and hobbyists on the discord of the fan community of manga artist Nihei remade the first chapter of his manga "Blame!", each member redrawing a different page of the chapter. This one was mine!
Du kannst mich doch nicht einfach so in der Luft hängen lassen (pun intended), wo darf ich denn eventuellen Fortschritt an deiner Idee verfolgen?
Konzepte für neuartige Zeppeline kommen immer mal wieder auf, und ich freue mich immer ein bisschen, darüber zu lesen. Es ist nur wenig zu glauben, dass es demnächst Zeppelin-Lufttransit im großen Stil geben wird, aber ich finde, Zeppeline haben einfach ungemeinen Flair. Für ein bisschen mit dem Kopf in den Wolken fantasieren reichen die Artikel zumindest.
Außerdem: Es gibt noch nicht genug Zeppelin-adjazente Spiele/Bücher/Medien. Sollte man mal sammeln. Wann !zeppelin?
Ohh, great fun, I once read up on that fire while writing a small text on fire safety in cities of the Early Modern Period. The 1666 fire was certainly unprecedented in size looking at the last few hundred years before it, but smaller fires were rather common, leading to a generally well prepared population. I'd wager that this led to the low death count, and the premature dismissal of the fire to the tune of "A woman could piss it out".
In the end, however, the fire was stopped by demolishing the wooden houses next to the active fire, preventing further spread to even more parts of the city. Hooks for breaking down wooden walls were common by then, explosives were used for that as well. I recommend this paper for deeper reading on the fire itself.
Furthermore, by ~1700, there are multiple detailled fire policies of cities written down, giving great insight into the particularities of fire fighting. In the lawbook of the city I looked at for my paper, every house was forced to stash one bucket of water, and help out with that bucket if a house in their street was on fire. Things like distribution of water sprayers in the case of emergency to the population was listed, as were monetary rewards to the first people extinguishing the fire. This is the fire policy which I looked at, it's in german, but well worth a read if you are able to.
Edit: Before I forget, here's a paper regarding the rebuilding of London after 1666. There were four plans after only a few days of the fire happening!
Uhh, sehr schöne Bilder! Merke ich mir, lande ich mal in Hamburg, so werde ich mir die Kräne auch anschauen.
Ich habe mir endlich mal The Guild II: Renaissance zugelegt. Wirtschaftsspiele machen mir Spaß, auch, wenn ich bisher eher simplere Spiele gespielt habe. Für 2,50 kann man aber nicht viel falsch machen, auch, wenn ich das Spiel nicht lange spielen werde.
Hello there! Very much surprised to see an instance tailored just for Ascendance Of A Bookworm, but I'm happy to be here!
I'm reading the novels as they release physically, so currently at P4V6. I'll keep an eye out for whenever Discussion Posts plop up, and I may get some fanart done to populate the sublemmys with.
Ein Dachs auf schnellen Füßen! Auf dass wir eine gesunde Fauna auf Feddit anzüchten!
Thanks! This is the first picture where I used the compositor extensively. And really, this was only because of the new Real Time Viewport Compositing, I'd have been to lazy otherwise.
