awiiya Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I would like to buy an image for my Bubble Weaver. I imagine it to draw inspiration from a Dream Catcher, but you may take of course some artistic license with that. You'll also have to name your price, since I haven't the faintest idea what the prices are these days. If it involves creatures or coins, I may have to contact friends, so expect some delays if that's the case. Awi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyphis the Bard Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Might I suggest looking at Spirographs then? Here is my submission (I have two others, I just like this one best so far) [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/cci190320120000.jpg/][IMG]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/4884/cci190320120000.jpg[/IMG][/URL] If you like it, I can do more work on the shading and textures/etc, but it is a lot of work so I probably won't bother any time soon if you don't want it. I'm also happy to do more similar works, if you would rather something like it but a bit different. I don't really know why, but I seem to be in a drawing mood today >.> Edited March 19, 2012 by Kyphis the Bard duxie, nadrolski, awiiya and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I like this a lot - but am not sure the numerology is spot on. Maybe instead of five, three or an order of two. 8, 4, 2, 1. Does that sound plausible? But I love the fractally design. Awi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I used 5 because its one of the more common bases for spirographic designs. I'll see what I can do with other numbers, but I get the vague feeling it needs to be an odd number to work.... EDIT: Figured out how to get it to work with 8, but I'm going to need to draw it very large to get it to work.... this is going to take a while Edited March 19, 2012 by Kyphis the Bard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 If it must be odd - base it on powers of three. Awi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hmm? Nah, I've got it working with 8. I just have to alternate the sequence between skipping one corner and skipping two. It's going to be complicated to draw, especially when I get to the inner one, but I'm in the mood for a challenge Might take me a day or two though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Bravo: 8 = 2^3, thus combining two very good numbers. I look forward to it. Awi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kyphis the Bard Posted March 26, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 This was quite complicated.... ended up doing a schematic to make sure it all worked correctly, but here it finally is: [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/bubbleweaver.jpg/][IMG]http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/9007/bubbleweaver.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Sasha Lilias, awiiya, Fire Starter and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Definitely great artistic skill, but will that work in 80x80, too? It seems a little too complicated to show how it's actually done when you resize it for an item pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awiiya Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Yes, I think so. [attachment=3692:SmallWeaver.png] But, Kyphis, would you mind coloring in the sticks? Perhaps with a wood grain if you're feeling fancy? Awi As an aside: I do not care much for whether people see the up close details of the image. They are, after all, looking at it as it hangs in my branches. If they would like to see it up close, they'd have to ask me. And I'd gladly oblige. For me, what is hidden exists as long as I know it does. And that's what matters to me. Edited March 26, 2012 by awiiya Rophs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm quite happy to add more details if you are happy to wait for them I uploaded it as it is now just in case I manage to stuff it up >.> And don't worry about payment.

If they do not play the game then you must get permission from them to give all rights to MagicDuel and upload it yourself. In doing so you act as their agent and assume any liability for the correct process. This supersedes announcement 1486.---The old announcement has been modified to show that is it old and incorrect.
