Hi all,
Well I’ve posted this on some other sites but figured maybe it would be of
interest to people here. Anyway, here is my Christmas Beetle mech, with
luck I’ll be able to bring it the the BUGS meeting but we’ll see how my
luggage holds up.

Comments appreciated,

PS. Yes I’m taking artistic license with the colours.

Sorry to reply to myself but I made some art to go with it

Tim,
Great design on this mech. I was wondering what technique you use to get
the “pencil” drawings on your wallpaper?
Thanks,
Jim F.

Hi Jim,
Thanks.
First I make an all-white version of the model and then render it with ldview
using settings to make flat colours (as opposed to ones that change depending on
the angle to the viewer) and thick lines. After that it’s just a matter of
trimming away the white space and layering it all in GIMP (or PS).
With some time spent on post-editing you can do fun things
like
this.
