You do know that it was the whites that brought clothes for Africans to wear right?

I wanna ask really, Is it a tradition amongst the Yoruba's to use brown roofs? Do they intentionally Leave it to rust to this extent?

This woman will stick to the marriage like banacles. Husband Scarce. Especially a fine Thin Tall Tony./


But if I were her, i will leave...

Chances are that the Bisola woman, after the show, would try to reconnect with TTT - to continue the affair. See the way she cried. The Hot Geisha is already in love with him. so Ms TTT leave him now for ur own peace of mind.

What difference does it make what the president Trump believes or not. Even other world leaders who believe and claim to be championing the climate change gospel and seeking green policies are rather helpless to stop what nature is doing. Most times it's all talk and condemnation but little action. China says it needs to burn billions of tons of coal to power its bulging population. India says it's just playing catchup with the emissions of other developing countries. Even Canada and Australia with less than 2% of China's or India's population are competing to surpass the pollution of these giants. All these results in more CO2 in the atmosphere exacerbating the already catastrophically menacing greenhouse effect and politicians in Europe will gather just to talk about it or even how to make money from it. Meanwhile, all these green politicians and activists fly around the world in highly carbon emitting jet planes to deliver their lectures.
Besides there's a school of thought that rejects the link between Carbon IV Oxide in the atmosphere and global warming. Many scientists and politicians subscribe to this point of view. Same as Trump. If all CO2 emission is stopped today, global warming still continues. Methane gas emissions from cattle herding and the gastrointestinal organs of ruminants worldwide produces more greenhouse effect than all the fossil fuels burning in this world. Add one or two volcanic eruptions to the mix and you'll realise man made pollution is just minuscule.
So all I'm saying is: All those things happen on their own. The earth alternates between epochs of very cold and very hot climatic conditions. Have you not heard about Ice Age? So the temperature will continue rising, the oceans will continue surging, coastal areas like Lagos and the Niger delta will continue sinking, and nothing will stop it. Only that the government should be aware of these things and prepare adequately for any eventuality. It isn't wise that tens of millions of people and trillions of naira capital be invested in Lagos now to the detriment of the rest of the country. If the government can move the political capital of the country away from Lagos to the North for strategic military insecurity, the government can likewise move the economic capital away from Lagos to say the East, for strategic climatic insecurity.
That way we would be able to safeguard the economic survival of the people of the largest black nation on earth. But as for Lagos, it's simply beyond salvation. Let the ocean have it!

You are right there about the Earth instinctively going via its Own cycles but don't deny the fact that we are accelerating this cycles....

We need to talk more and do more about this climate stuff. Why I mentioned Trump and perhaps Putin is cos they can single handedly spearhead green Earth policies. Africa (we contribute so little to CO2 emission sef) will suffer a great deal from the activities of this economic behemoths when the Ice starts to swell the oceans. Infact we are already suffering the consequences.....the fulani herders comes to mind. Part of what drives them into farmlands could be that areas that were once fertile for them is already desertland.


And farmers should STOP rearing ruminants in large quantities (is it even plausible?), perhaps these ruminants were the the ones that caused (or major contributors) the Ice Age Melting. Most Large dinosaurs were ruminants. hmmm?


Maybe I can also list things that can mitigate against this impeding doom.

WARS: yes, its unpleasant but populations will be decimated. But its effect might just be negligle

Reduced Fecundity: Imagine a situation where being fertile will only be accessible to a few potent people (too much of Dan Brown here ). Someone once said that if all of china should all urinate at once, they will flood the earth. And if all of india should sneeze at once, they will tilt the Earth off it's axis.

Unrestrained Population growth is a major factor fastening the Earth to its recycling mode.

I've not Seen any artist who'd stubbornly refuse to draw/paint Soyinka

ezeagu:
The places at risk include southern Bayelsa, southern Rivers State (up to Port Harcourt) and parts of Lagos State. These places have very lowlands/swamps/mangroves which is probably why Port Harcourt wasn't built on the coast. For Imo and Abia to be completely flooded, there would have to be some serious ice melting going on in Canada, Greenland, Antarctica, etc. that makes up for all this water, by that time the world would have lost much of its land. As far as I know, water doesn't climb heights if its whole body isn't rising as well.

Well, if a serious Tsunami should hit, Even Anambra that is further inland wont be spared...thank god we don't have such thermal ocean activity but then you can't really trust nature, what with all the pollution/drilling going on in the delta.



....and some super serious ice-melting is going on in the artic. and the worst part is Trump and Russia don't believe in Climate Change. So this 50 years timeline might just be a wishful and broad estimation. The time might actually be just in a two decades or three

LRNZH:


Lagos should have focused on completing the 4th Mainland Bridge and on how to build a new set of cities on land in areas that will be connected by the new bridge instead of trying to dominate its waters.

Cc: Lalasticlala; Mynd44

building a new set of city in that Jampack Mainland will result to displacing a whole lotta people....especially the super lower incomes.

Would you like a situation like that?

and even if lagos does not build this wall, it will always be susceptible to floods once the ocean temperatures surge. there's really nothing the Lagos govt can do to avoid such an impending scenerio. Its like trying to prevent Venice from flooding

Busy touring, yet noting is functional....two years running now.

the other time, he commissioned just 76 housing units. whats that going to do? for a state with 6 million people.


In Festac, We barely see light. even babies now think PHCN light is some kind of miracle that is indecisive. They are all used to Gen.

buhari, if he's sensible enough, should just allocate this man one ministerial package. this all fingers in the mouth approach, is no longer working.

as large as the dinosaurs....yet as morose and incompetent. divide nigeria and most states up north will become somali and go Extinct

I am interested .. I love tracking really.

hmmm, before that dream I use to think that there's no way Nigeria can ever factor in any event involving a Nuclear war, say between china and US but then it neva occurred to me that an 'accidental discharge' might happen and that we might be completely helpless if it should happen.

Do u think Nigeria having a weapon might be a deterent to such 'accidents'?

Is it even good to have a weapon of such catastrophic potent at all?



and after some research, I ve concluded that no matter the no of such weapons deployed......humans might still survive, not just cockroaches.

OKX:
nah, its official...we definitely have to play with one of your characters!

loving the character development so far.
yeah, we differ on our tastes...never quite figured out why, with the power to create anything, one would choose to create something lifelike.
i am surrounded by that on a daily, guess thats why i escape into toon-land, lol.

following...
good job!

why on earth didnt u sign on the Sango project?

There were many requirements that I couldn't fit into then. One example, is Sango's clothing, muscle physique and secondly, I was just thrilled observing, more like watching WWE Wrestlers doing there thing in the ring. The fun part is always being the spectator. Just imagine being in the audience watching Gottfried Leibniz and Issac Newton Argue out Calculus.......so I took up pop-corn, began watching and learnin una methods, frustrations and challenges overcomed.

and I would be immensely gratified if U would breathe life into any of the xters. Imagine her swinging off a roof and landing with a bounce ala Scarlet Johansson in 'Ghost in a shell"

Ok, began adding some folds to her trousers. Its not yet Uhuru.

Ok, What did I do this evening.

a. I watched Resident Evil: final Chapter. I wish I can sculpt the double winged dragon there and I wish I can start doing Geometric tracking.

b. I decided to do stylize eyelids/Eyelashes (I mean you don't have to waste time grooming), so I fired up a tutorial by Danny Mac on youtube. That guy is good for eyelashes. Search him up

c. I learnt how to do watermarks. I am going Pro, baby!....coughs!

If U want to learn how to do a simple super attractive eyelash? Alright Go Here

I will pick that guy with Android jetpack when I finish this Logan girl.

I never really like Cartoons, I must confess....

But I like the huge money they generate in us and China.

I grew up consuming lots of films with my gran ( a serious film addict) when Hallmark was Halmark, perhaps that's why I don't get the ish with cartoons a times.

And if I watch a 3D animated feature , it tends to be those with characters that r closer to the uncanny valley. Such as Tekken, Warcraft, Avatar, Polar Express.

But I will take up this challenge, who knows if my first 3D job will be to do a stylized xter.

Thank you for your mentoring.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, I've embarked on another, rather silly project. I'd just watched Logan (super gruesome movie ) and that new girl with blades is inspiring me to something.

well, without blend shapes for his expression, we r limited in the ability to convey emotions.
i was thinking more of like the image.

This is more like it!

The look I had in mind.....This is the best Collabo MEhnnnnnn.

I ve shown this to several people and there have been positive reviews except from two critics. One is downright jealous, the other hates the sight of blood

This is just perfect. Thank U, 77 gun salutes.

OKX:
@nija
awesome.
would have loved if some of the passion reflected in his expression and features a bit more, (considering the beating he took)

great job tho.
with ur permission i would like to play with the above image a bit, maybe, add a stream of blood from the thorns and redden his eyes a bit.

generally stress/grunge up his skin a bit more, it would be best if done in the textures tho.

no wahala..
I was thinking he's too clean sef, the emotions certainly would ve carried weight if He has being rigged...go ahead and grunge him up. thanks.

I will leave Jesu's texturin at this stage. At least, Its a first (baby) step with SP.

I am still reeling from a stupid nightmare


I had a queasy dream. I don't know what occasioned it really because i was so sure that I went to bed content. I got no worries on my mind nor did I watch any scifi that might induce such kind of dream in almost a month running.

So last night, I dreamt that I was a survivor of a terrible nuclear aftermath. And in that dream , I had horrible sores but somehow I was okay but everyone I know was sick and we were all huddled under dark enclosures. And somehow, in that dream, I was consciously aware that it was a nuclear attack. even I awoke with the though nuclear hanging in my mind.

The thoughts going through my mind are about which primitive species will take over after our impending nuclear war. It is ludicrous to think that any humans will survive. All those who survive the initial explosions will suffer radiation poisoning and cancers. There will be no food or water distribution, electric power or other fuel for heating shelters. After a short while, humans and other mammals will be gone.

Jesus' statement that the meek shall inherit the earth was misunderstood as a spiritual message about materialism v. humility. Actually it appears he was uttering a prophesy about the next dominant species for this planet -- jellyfish or cockroaches.

2nd question: What can you do to minimize damage, if such an event happens?

OKX:
@nija
great work so far!

woulda loved a side view of the apeman as well.
loving ur Jesus/John, would also have loved him fully textured and possibly in a pose.

i think u r truly gifted...n pretty fast too!
keep pushing ur boundaries!

do u animate as well?

Thank you, OKX, that coming from you... is a head blusher

This book really helped me with anatomy: ZBrush Digital Sculpting Human Anatomy

with Jesu, I am amost finishing up with his textures. Yes, I animate as well, but hindered by the fact that I possess just an 8G RAM system, things tend to lag terribly (what can u do with a system outputing 20 FPS ) so I tend to restrict my self to just these fields of Modeling, Rigging, Texturing, Photogammetry and Rendering.

I couldn't learn Mari, that's why I jumped into Substance Painter. they said its easier to understand. I really want to be a guru with layered texturing. Have you watched Kong Island? the textures of the creatures there is so 4K, thats the film that pushed me single-handedly into this renewed focus on learning texturing. I use to relegate it to the background.

Heres the apeMan side and back profiles

I am planning for a new model, since I am almost rounding up with Jesu. So I ve these candidates to try my hands on.

No 1: I came across this old photo on primitive scarification, My feverish mind is beating seriously for her.


No 2: Beyonce. Just because of the layered textures. and opportunity to go deep with Substance painter.

No 3: bird: I ve never done a bird before. Thats the only reason..

No 4: Angel Micheal.....Just being ambitious

Plz is there any animation studio around that I can join, even as a freelance....Any one wishing for a partnership, I am up for GRABS

I often wonder what u guys are?
A hybrid of Judaism and ATR or a hybrid of ATR and Christianity?
just curious..

Happy Sunday Zed, intriguing work as usual.

Told you guys that I was going into Painting with Substance, but i didnt. I still find myself modeling, adding scratches to his face and I redid his loin clothe.

Its time for Crucifixion.


Maybe all this dillydallying is be-cos I am afraid of painting.

If you ever been in a situation were your model after retopologizing is less detailed than your main sculpt, here is how you can fix it.
