Added 1 new A* page:Here's some stuff I did for my Art & Design degree project back in college, probably senior year, '95-'96:
The theme I sort of settled on was self-portraits and flowers (ie things I could get to model for me) done both in oil paint and digitally. What I have here are scans of prints from the art department's nice printer of the digital stuff, which was done on my Amiga 4000 using a program called ImageFX, which it turns out is actually still available for Amiga computers. It was (is?) a neat program because it had a tool a lot like Photoshop's Lasso Tool, only it automatically filled in with the color and opacity of your choice when you released the stylus, which was quite, quite handy, and which I still miss to this day. I think I generally worked at 800x600--that was about all my spiffy Commodore monitor could handle--in the Amiga's funky pseudo ~18-bit HAM8 lossy color mode.
The first two are artificially color-reduced; I like these versions better than the full color versions--I'll show you full-color versions of some others I think I must have done later when I was a bit better at handling the color. I hadn't remembered that I was playing with color reduction way back then until my parents dug up these prints a few weeks ago; unbeknownst to me at the time, the limited-color stuff was preparing me for A*!
