As I'm sure everyone knows, programmers are completely clueless in regards to the artistic aspects. I'm here today to prove that wrong. Screw pixel art, I'm moving up in the world.
As I'm sure no one knows, I've been doing ceramic work for a while now, pushing two years. This year I've been doing an independent study entailing the incorporation of music in ceramics. Or ceramics in music, you choose. I've also done a small project to ease back into the usage of clay.
Cue my first project.
They are simply cups, on saucers. Or something.
See the C edition here:
C++ edition:
And with these two, I felt compelled to include a Java edition, too:
Due to time constraints, and general lack of care, I dropped the idea of doing DM and C#, but those were going to be included too. The saucer under the DM one was going to be the atom we all know and love, and C# was just meh, the design for it was flawed, terribly.
But that was just project one.
The project I decided on for the remaining eight weeks, which is already under-way, was to make something simple, and something that I've wanted since I was, well, 10. Thank you, Ocarina of Time.
The final picture is of one that is one handed, five holes, and a bit more neat, in my opinion.
Finally, I end with a concept that I'm working on:
The Rupee Ocarina. I think, if it works, it will turn out pretty kickass. The part I'm holding in my hand is just the mold; the ocarina itself will be built around that. On another note, I'm experimenting with more shapes, such as hexagons, turtle-shell-styled enclaves, and flat out spheres.

This just means you aren't a programmer.

April Fool's joke I assume? Not really, no. I was tempted to do a post in regards to that. Thanks, Fizz. Your support is appreciated. |
Well, they're not much in the way of art. One is a simple geometric figure, one is a tea cup, and one is a hollow geometric figure with holes and a tube. If you sculpted a person or something, it might be more interesting.

I'm with fizz on this one.
Your sculptures look as if a 5 year old could make them better.( apart from the ocarina ) |
Which ocarina? Also, the cups are shitty, those I'll admit to. I didn't like them, and I rushed through them so I could make ocarinas =p

I made an ocarina and several other wind instruments in my high-school ceramics class. It's hard. Trying to make the bevel (I believe it's called) at the juuust right angle, without cutting ott too much clay. Whooo. My ocarina was probably around 30% the size of yours and has since been shattered. :(
Point being, it's pretty hard for a second or third-year pottery student to do that. Hell, it's hard even to throw properly on the wheel. |
