my first attempt at making a seamless repeating pattern! You can see how some of the elements go off the sides▫️◽◻️ I could've probably made it more dynamic but it was hard enough to do this as is 😅 looking forward to more experiments!!
I've just released 22 new natural wall, cliff, and slope assets! If you enjoy caves and wilderness maps, these are for you. Try them for free on our website!
As of today, it has been exactly 10 years since I started creating and sharing a 3D animated GIF artwork every single day!
I originally began learning 3D and making GIFs after being inspired by many of the digital artists I had started to find on Tumblr back in 2013. When I decided to start making a GIF every day in April 2014, with very little prior art experience, I never could have imagined that I would still be here doing it 10 years later.
I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has stuck around and supported my work in any way over the last decade. Likewise, I also have to thank everyone I've had the chance to work or collaborate with over the duration of this project! This has been a huge learning experience, and I am very proud of how far things have come.
To the best of my knowledge, I am the first artist to complete 10 years of daily GIFs, but I have to give major props to the other artists that I know of who paved the way and passed this milestone before me in their respective mediums:
@songadaymann / @catswilleatyou / @beeple / @graebor / @rawandrendered
With that being said, after a lot of contemplation, I have decided that today will mark the completion of my daily GIF project. I have no plans to stop creating and sharing my art, but after 10 years of pushing to have an animation done every single day, it's time for a change of pace.
There are still so many things I want to learn, and now feels like the right time to give myself the room to explore and give it a try.
Thank you again for the support. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
In Washington County, Maine, nothing says winter's almost here, more than a flock snow buntings over red blueberry fields. 'Twas the inspiration for this third Maine animals-in-winter-themed seamless pattern design. Planning sets of holiday cards for next year.
The Greek philosopher Plutarch suggested that the human eye had the power of releasing invisible rays of energy that were in some cases potent enough to kill children or small animals.
The evil eye is believed to be a curse that is given by a glare that has negative intensions. Any negative emotion can cause the evil eye curse, such as anger or even jealousy. It is believe that the curse itself causes bad things to happen to the person who has received the curse, such as headaches and even a string of bad luck. Wearing a special evil eye charm, also called a mati, is said to help prevent the curse from even happening.
This set of work is inspired by the traditional hand embroidered works found in many Greek homes. The intricate patterns are usually sewn together to make tablecloths and decorative pieces displayed on flat surfaces. Many women would pass their time creating these masterpieces while sitting in the streets with friends and relatives talking about the happenings of the town. These naive hand-drawn versions of the traditional delicacies are used to decorate the rays of the evil eye bringing the crafty tradition and the local beliefs together.
