Maxwell Render Photocomposite based on the Medieval tapestry Unicorn in Captivity

A long lens from a high angle creates the stylized perspective necessary.

The model, Damianne, is photographed, but a CG stand-in provides shadows and lighting reference.

Miss Crash of Studio Servitu painted in the naive style of the circus sideshow banner art of Fred G. Johnson. Part of a larger image I'm making.

Meant to evoke the tarot card, 'Le Pendu,' or 'The Hanged Man.'

Planes of the Head - John Asaro

planes-of-the-head-Asaro.jpg

John Asaro's Planes of the Head is a book that has been around for some time, and it was accompanied by a bust that contained simplified head planes on one side and slightly more complex ones on the other. Now to this material has been added several more heads.

I just bought the very simplified one, pictured above, and I find it excellent and well made. It even happens to have a screw hole in the base that looks designed to allow the head to be installed on a standard tripod.

I think this head would be useful for practicing portraiture lighting as well.

Pushpin Portraits using Photoshop

A tutorial on how to use Photoshop to prepare a digital photograph for making pushpin portraits in limited palettes using indexed color.

A short video on blinking lights, photograph vignettes, color and luminosity.

Also a bit of a test run for my new Camtasia screencasting software and audio-technica AT220 USB microphone.
