Object Design week 3: The sky castle

Image
every time i have an opportunity to create something from the comic i'm creating i take it, which is exactly where this castle came into play. this is the rough sketch I based my design off of, though it did end up looking rather different in the final. I used the loft tool to create smooth connections between the towers, as well as create a rounded, sloped roof the biggest roadblock I found was creating the halo-like structures that circle the castle. I originally tried to use flow, but eventually realized it wouldn't work for the curved roof, as it only works on hollow objects. instead, I opted for a hole-punch style of creation.  i started by creating a larger structure of the roof that was about a millimeter in thickness. for the smaller halos on the roofs, I punched out of the middle of the object. for the larger halos, I added a cylinder at the bottom so there was more room to work with. I then used Boolean Difference to cut the pieces out . i used a copy of the object an...

week 7: egg coasters with a twist

Image
 I was so incredibly pleased with how my final design for my egg coasters came out. I spent so much time prepping the files properly for cutting, and making sure they read as the pysanky coasters of my dreams. once fully hatched, this is how the plan looked. however, when it came to cutting the pieces and booking an appointment, I ran into a little bit of a roadblock...  said roadblock being moving. I was given four days notice before I got my keys, and only had 24 hours to move everything out. said 24 hours starting at 4 PM on Tuesday, which is so conveniently the day before our class. because of this, i was unable to get my coasters cut before the class. my bad divas.

Kennedy's Bench

Image
                          in 2023, a good friend of mine, Kennedy Ermolik, passed away. he was only 21 at the time. it was always hard for me to process, mostly because he was all the way in California, so the truth of the accident hadn't fully hit me. that was, at least, until this summer rolled around. ever since his passing, Kennedy's mother, Nancy, has sort of taken us in as her "children by association", as Kennedy was an only child. as a friend group, we've decided to go to California in the summer, around Kennedy's birthday to spend time with Nancy. In California, there's a bench that was built in memory of Kennedy. it's a simple, concrete bench with a small QR code on the middle divider, and a plaque on the middle back. the plaque reads as follows:  In loving memory of Kennedy Christian Ermolik 2002-2023 You were more than just somebody I was destined to meet. we were tangled up l...
