Louis' thing on the side

Just another WordPress.com site

joy in the detail

Even though technology available to me mandates certain concessions in terms of details here and there with this project, I can’t help but rediscover certain lost pleasures that I last experienced as a child or young adult drawing comics.

I spent a lot of time back then designing imaginary rank insignia and uniforms and frivolous bits of accessories and attire for the feuding factions of whatever story I was preoccupied with.

Now I need to come up with simple and effective ways to do these things using the medium I chose, and while clonecloth solves many of these problems I still find a need for things that can’t be improvised or bought off the shelf.
That means I will have to learn whichever app is the most appropriate for achieving these objectives.

I’m hoping it can be achieved with Blender because I don’t want to scar my project with pirated apps. I certainly can’t afford my preferred choice of 3D Studio…

In any event, I should enjoy the diversions of the making of and dealing details and loose myself from this infernal drive to finish it all as quickly as possible.

This project has become such an obsession, over such a long time, that I tend to forget to savour the moments of playful creativity that brought this far, and that it needs in order to result in something worth the time.
