odosketch

A few weeks ago I was impressed by a flash website called Sketchory - where you could draw in black and white and share your art with other - who were able to see your drawing process ...

Yep, that was cool - but this is totally pwned by this new website called Odosketch.
Check odosketch - Fresia - (the page will take some time to load) - below is an example of a Painting by "Five"

Motion Portrait: more demos and animations

I can't get enough of this Motion Portrait, this is really great
There's actually more videos of what can done ... and it's amazing!

Check MotionPortrait: Demo for all these videos.

About yesterday's post where I was complaining that I couldn't find a way to export the animation - Today,  thanks to Kaushik for the idea, using screen capture and a little work of arranging the picture I could export the animation as a gif file - result on the left.

Motion Portrait (from Japan)

This Motion Portrait is great, I've seen website where you could create portrait from scratch like this one,
but this one from Japan is a un-be-lievable!

You can upload your portrait - and it will create a 3D version of it, and on top of that you will be able to customized it - by adding beard, hair, gadget (like this cyborg's eye).

Too bad, there's no way to export a video (or maybe it's possible but my Japanese isn't that great so I didn't find the option there)

Check this yourself on MP CHANGE

The choice of Christina Aguilera for the test, is completely ... err, completely ... random.

Gimp: How to make a "Russian Propaganda Posters"

Nice tutorial, to get a "Russian Propaganda Poster" effect on your illustrations or photos with the Gimp (2.6) - only a dozen of steps to follow :

1. Open photo (easy)
2. duplicate layer your illustration (to keep an original)
3. duplicate layer for each item you want to colorize
4. convert to grey (color/desaturate)
5. Use Color/Curves to get more contrast (need a bit of practice)
6. convert to 3 colors (Posterize)
7. Open custom palette with 4 colors (white, black, orange and red)
8. select color grey - drag and drop orange
9. select color black - drag and drop red
10. same process with the different layers you created on step 3 ; so goto 4
11. add some texts and export as png

For some real posters samples, here's a website where you can find lots of propaganda poster (beware the website looks is a bit ... how can I say that ... well, you'll see by yourself)

Applying the same process here's another attempt - that has nothing to do with "Russian Propaganda Posters" - it's just a figure of style.

Open Clip Art (ocal) a bad news and a good news!

I've got a bad news and I've got a good news.

The bad news is the openclipart upload has been broken for over a month (last successful upload 31-July-2009!) - So that's quite a shock and a sad news.

The error is :

"/var/www/openclipart.org/htdocs/cchost/cchost_lib/cc-fileverify.php"(223):

Uninitialized string offset: 0 [2009-08-25 13:08


pm][127.0.0.1][/cchost/submit/fullmix]

But the good news is : the openclipart team is working on a "beta" website and it looks brilliant already!

have a look here.

I really like the new website, every features I've dreamed of are now there :

• Clipart preview
• Browse Clipart by Tag with Preview 
• Five Stars system for Clipart evaluation  
• and it's still organized by Artist's profile 
• etc ...
