Description
This is how I spend my days. Searching, eating, cleaning. Fixing my pile of junk. Reading. Things my parents taught me. Knowledge they passed along. Things I want to pass along.I keep listening for signs of life. Radio signals. Anything. Day after day the monitor is silent. I need to get up on the roof to check my antenna. If that blew down I will be sitting here listening to silence and not know it.
I make a lot of lists. Things I need to look for. How my food and water levels are doing. My suit. The seals between each piece. If I can't go outside, I can't live. Got to keep them in top shape. Weapons. I need a weapon. Somewhere there's got to be one.
There are things out there I never want to meet.

There is a certain beauty in the ordinary and everyday. It is hard to capture that in 3d, and I feel some of the things which make us look slick detract from the human experience. Pixel-perfect shiny car shaders, that overly perfect CG look, and a bunch of other "this should be perfect in mathematical reality" things. I find myself going back to traditional art more and more. Form, light, texture, composition, and balance. Things may not look like this in real life, but there are a thousand artistic decisions being made here to break the rules to get a desired artistic outcome. I could light this with a realistic light source and say "done" and it's CG, but I don't feel that's good enough.
So I paint with light. I worry about things which should be "fine - leave them alone" to get a desired outcome. I try to stay away from post-work, because I want my techniques to be replica-table and surprise me. I don't want to paint over an image with what I think should be there, I want what's there to pop out unexpectedly and let me shape it like clay during the scene creation process. When you make a piece of art, you discover the hidden magic along the way, and the subject shows you its innate beauty - and that element of surprising the artist brings life and joy to the scene.
