not just yet. misbehave again and I will land the big stick on ur brown head

That python1 is a Disused Tampoon

sarrki:
Ipobs are terrorist organization they have been crushed
Let me use the word decimated

Cretin

Nnamdi KANU and Daddy Freeze.

They fought for good causes..

I won't be surprised if Nnmadi KANU or Freeze appears on Time Magaziness Most influential list

The two said and spearheaded things that most us were too cowardly to say. ..

They put their reputation on the line and suffered ...

I mean, Daddy freeze is already labelled The Anti Christ and
Dear Nnmadi , we saw his fate.

But these two were the core focal points of revolutions against the status quo in this Hopeless and mere Geographical Expression

may God forbid.
Become president. build statues everywhere.

A slight interruption..

This morning saw me doing something with the bust of Isis.

the look was inspired by the Futurist book: Singularity is Near.
Especially the section on Neural Networks ..

you guys should try that book.

Rendering was done in Corona this time around.

Foray 2: The Christ Head bust...


This work did not turn out exactly as I want.

My human eye shape here was just horrible. I had to take this work down from my account.

Maybe sometime in the future i will redo it. April next year, i guess

ATR is disorganized...


its pantheon of gods keep changing in form and function as to leave you confused and drawn

Hiccups:


With trends of events, some will still believe there's Heaven in Internet.

Back to you question, you may have to consult your ancestors who have departed mortality decades ago and are better placed to respond.

Its really really hard not to believe in the existence of an Intelligent Designer.

Even Darwinian Laws have over arching loop holes. Dan Brown treated this loop holes, albeit sketchly, in his new book The Origin.


Even if you do not believe in conventional religion , Do u think that our galaxy, the Milky way, with its 2 billion Solar systems has just Us as the only advanced or existing species

The Universe's Mathematics is too chaotically precise to be just a random statistical quality.

think about...I was once an Agnostic until I saw Sperm cells divide in the lab... Watching this happen u can almost see the codes involved.

God might not be white and with overflowing beard. but Some being x out there!

branhampaul:
Sowi, Every intelligent being belongs to Hell.. Less intelligent beings believe in fairy tales...
so if your heaven were to be real expect better technological advancement in Hell..

of course. Hell is another extra terrestrial dimension in its own. Bear in mind that Lucifer is a scion, albeit an over ambitious one , of God

platinumphotos:
No need for internet since we will be spirit beings and we will be like Him exactly, we will know ALL things and can go anywhere we wanna be. So no need for Google or nairaland..

hmmm. there might still be a form of communication and data mining. I mentioned Neural networks earlier on.

Angels are with God but their degree of omniscience is still limited...for example, they can't tell When an mathematical event like the rapture will happen

Buhariz chances are Dead and Gone

that Sarrki is a catatonic Bilge Rat...
Seeing his comment just spoiled my Sunday afternoon

I think there would be a sort of interconnectivity. ..

Mind you heaven is an extra terreristial place filled with intelligent beings. I think there would be an advance form of looking up data either via Neural networks or some Mind-to-Matter method

foray One:
Humphrey - The Coal diner

This is the very first model I did with my anatomy book open. Looking at it now, i can see obvious mistakes. but back then I thought I could work in Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) by just posting this model to them. come to think of it, I think I'd applied for a character artist position at MPC. . Imagine. Yuri alexander is not working at MPC or ILM and I am expecting meself to work there Well dreams are free...


And I got a letter of appreciation from Platimage anyway : Obviously, the passion is there but we cant employ U at this stage. Work on attaining more detail and you never can tell. Poland might be where you will be in 2018

I got really encourage by that letter....The HR even sent me a snapshot of their game cinematic at that time and urge me to attain that style.

All said, Humphrey was the first & only character that fetch me a few dollars on Shapeways.


Problems Encountered:

Retopology was so hard. I nearly Died

I had a lot of problems with processing Displacement Textures ( both 16 & 32 bit) while using cycles.
at that time, I was getting myself acquainted with cycles Material and shaders network

This year has been quite exhaustive.

I had suffered bouts of depression, insomnia and the occasional rejection by powers that be, by peers in my field and there had been periods, slow-dragging days, when i'd contemplated ending it all. Looking back now, I think I was stupid.

If ther's anything I've learnt so far, it is : KEEP DOING YOUR THING AND DON't YEARN FOR ACCEPTANCE or TO BE IN ANY BODY's COOL BOOK.

I've grown more cynical, more caustically indifferent and a bit off-putting , I must admit. But then It might as well be a defense mechanism.

I have lost ample time sitting behind my miserable laptop. I have learnt programming, dabbled into Rosicrucian mysticism and dabbled out of the nonsense.

I had read all the books by Elena Ferrante and dove into a new relationship. It was fleeting. It was experimental and it was sweet.

I am glad to have a Mumsy who would always remind me to eat and ask why I always like modeling N.aked women (I dont blame her really, cos each time she barges into my room, My Laptops' screen has a n.aked 3D Model WIP. I am glad for that only friend that still stuck around while others left...

With all these yati yati said, I am glad for the efforts I'd put into myself. So I will showcase a walk through of my first serious foray into this murky world of CGI.

Jaideyone:
you must be very foolish for thinking Yorubas are the ones opposing the project

Are the ...... the only people on the left hand side of the country

menwongo:
They are people from the left hand side of the country...they want all imported goods to land in their state alone

u are velly velly wicked.

Na dem shaa.

Those Left siders are the major problem of the south.

Blair Witch Project... lol

So in this second trial. I removed all parameters related to translucent and reflection. Only to get this Grunge Gothic.

domejike:
good atmosphere, good living conditions, hope for the future, good health facilities, name it; they all constitute to what made them travel and not because they can't stay back and hustle....what's the assurance that your government won't steal from them and still frustrate all their efforts. Mtcheeeew

Gbam..

So trial one.

Here just a little red was what I wanted for the hair translucency to make it Auburn but u can see for urself.... it can out annoying.

Well. i managed to rerender and have settled on a particular style


I must admit hair grooming is still beyond me.

I had grappled with a Lotta frustrating trials. I wasn't aiming for a smooth coiffured hairstyle. I wanted that brazen Evil-crazed look but alas I couldn't get that....so I threw in the towel.


But before showing the final LOok. Take a peep at my concurrent attempts to get that powee-crazed look that just didn't work. To get those curls to only appear towards the ends of the hair strands x almost rocket science... and I balked away.

EMANY01:
" No civilization should ever announce its presence to the cosmos, he says. Any other civilization that learns of its existence will perceive it as a threat to expand—as all civilizations do, eliminating their competition"

Love reading the line you used for your signature "The Dark Forest" read the book three times now.... Having another go at it this Christmas break.

I think that's my favorite book this year...

Hopeless Country

I salute this guy's courage...

Not everyone with this kind of orientation would easily flaunt it knowing fully well that they could be lynched.


Ride on. I foresee a future where people like this would be tolerated and seen as normal just like it were before the advent of the missionaries ....

spent 8 hrs rendering only to realize that I did not check passes for Ambient Occlusion and Alpha over....chai

and to rerender again x just daunting. Almost a million hair strands to recompute

Who wants to fry his laptop? Me ! Me! Me!!!!

what am I gonna do??

Oh dear Lord.


Well she has got a burnt scalp. Need to sue the salon now

I have watched all Marvel Movies and can't thank then more for inspiring me and feeding the ever hungry Monster that is my imagination....

A tribute...

material look Dev..

I like El Rufai...despite hez in APC

u are the best

KardinalZik:
Political thieves steal what you've not directly worked for. They steal COLLECTIVE WEALTH - from the government. The government has a way of tackling that: THE ANTI-GRAFT AGENCIES.

A local thief, on the contrary, steals YOUR PERSONAL WEALTH - what you laboured to have - from you. You should have your way of tackling that, also: THE TYRE.

Where was the thief when you were labouring?

Hope one day a relative of urs will be in this kinda shit.

Fervently Hope too, that I will be amongst those to set him alight and watch him writhe in flames and post it here for every Harry to see...

I thought I said Isis was going to be my last character for the year....Well here is Hela

I'd just finished the film (thor, Ragnaroc) and i most say I am taken to the Femme fatale..

I think I like female villains more than Heroic protagonist like Wonder woman ( thats why, irefuse to model her ).

I like women with over arching ambitions and fault lines. Women like Mao Zedong's wife ( caused Mao's Downfall ), Gucci Grace (Poor Mugabe, if not for his wife) , Charlize theron in Fast and the furious and as the snow queen in Sleeping Beauty.

And that furious self-healing cyborg in Guardians of the galaxy.

Now I am in love with Hela. I love female villains hoha

Ok , Here is my final look for the hair. Time to assign materials and parameters like Translucency, Transmission and reflectance. One thing I like about 3D is it makes it seem as if you are Restudying Physics and biology. Simulating the world in a micro scale.

I understood these core subjects of science more with 3D than all my years in graduate and post-graduate.

I will end with just the hair, and apply my Isis Skin shader. nothing overboard at the moment, No horns , no cape
