October Updates

I shared two modo renders of mine this month! Well, a final image and a WIP. The first was ‘Steam Iron’, my imagining of a steampunky soldering iron.

My steampunk based soldering iron design.

and the second was a character design WIP. The ‘Pumpkin King’ (Pumpking?). Happy Halloween!!

My original character design - the Pumpkin King.

Speaking of the spookiest night of the year, here are some photos of our Halloween activities!

Pumpkin Jack.

Our Jack-O-Lantern. Thanks to @Facenna for carving him and giving him life!

I baked the seeds of the Pumpkin! Coated with melted butter, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Yum!

May Updates – 2nd “modoversary”!

This month I have been working on a short animation to commemorate my second year of owning modo. That’s right – earlier this month (16th), it was two years exactly since I finished my saving and eagerly purchased modo – and what a great purchase that was! 😀

February Updates

New Image! Keeping simple this month with an everyday (Twiceaday?) item – the toothbrush! 🙂

I’ve been learning about the PICAXE intergrated circuit this month, programming and circuit design, and found that the people at the PICAXE forum are very helpful! Thank you to them for their advice. (Still planning a real-world project, as you can probably guess from that. :P)

For updates as they happen, please follow me on twitter. 🙂

January Updates

This month, say hello to my latest original character; Bill the Bird. 🙂

Bill the Bird

hm!? What What!?? (Clicky.)

There he is, perched on his usual bench beam, somewhat disapprovingly watching the world go by. People weren’t like that in his day! Hurumph.

I’ve also been planning a real-world project that I may embark on, that could be supported in some ways by modo. Can you guess what it is from previous posts? 😀

July Updates

July has been a month of extreme happiness. One extreme low, but otherwise fab. It was my 18th birthday on the 9th, and I received many great gifts, including a Cintiq 12WX, and a personalised rap from the president of Luxology, Brad Peebler, on the wonderful modcast! WOW!

This month, I completed two new images;

The Handlink

I’ve always been a huge fan of Quantum Leap, and for the same amount of time I have been fascinated (you could say obsessed ;p) with the Handlink. The handheld device that Al uses to communicate with Ziggy (the hybrid computer with the big ego) from the Imaging Chamber. This particular one is the “Gummy Bear” version used from “The Great Spontini” in Season three, right through to the final episode, “Mirror Image” in Season 5.

I have attempted many physical replicas of this most infamous prop, Including this most recent one (when I was 14):

^My (physical) Handlink Replica

(Read more and see my NEW CG Handlink Replica!)
^The back of my (physical) Handlink Replica.

^Side of my (Physical) Handlink Replica

But all of them lacked in strength, and the proper electronics. So I turned to another medium – that would allow me to replicate the Handlink much more closely. Digital 3D using modo 401!

Here are my latest 3D works:

^”Al” Holding the Handlink – complete with trademark cigar.

^My digital (modo) replica of the Handlink.

Back of my CG Handlink replica.

See these and more images of this piece at my Deviant Art account, or my Luxology Forum Thread, or the Al’s Place Quantum Leap Community. Leave a comment somewhere if you like it! :)

Hope you enjoy this “Rotten pile of gummy bears” as Al calls it! LOL!
