Hope you noticed but I’ve been showing every day a hint (cept for yesterday there was just too much punch still in my head -.- ) on what I am currently working on.
I’ve also added a translation tool. It’s not perfect (I tested it with Dutch and German translations), and noticed it turns sentences like: “I’m walking in the park with my bicycle on my hand” into something like: “in the park my bicycle I am walking hand”. 
Anyway it turns my English into something more or less understandable for those who are not so fluent in it. Well, sort off.
Anyway, what happened with the previous announced angels latex lair you may wonder?
Well, it is back in the freezer. It started with the in-house swimming pool, which I didn’t like. When I moved it to the right I had a big blank spot on the left so I started building a stair case. And although the furniture started to shape up nicely, it wasn’t really what I was hoping or aiming for. Then I still didn’t liked the pool, and made it much smaller and started building a little island in the middle, with rocks and plants you know?
And then I was like “wtf am I doing?” I’m not a house architect or interior designer. I’m “the guy from 4F who puts women in tight shiny latex clothing!” I looked at it, gave it a night’s sleep and it still didn’t gave me any good vibes like, this going to ‘rock!’ So I turned over to plan, uhm… ‘E’.
At least I have a nice set of 3D windows which may, or may not, come in handy at some point in time. :/
Anyway about plan ‘E’. I have had this image for quite a while on my hard disk. From day 1 I knew I wanted to turn her into Wonder Woman but I missed a bit of ‘drive’ to do so since, well ‘re-inventing the wheel’ as I call drawing the same thing over and over, kinda gets a bit boring.
Luckely then came Adrianne Palicki by in her fabulous shiny (well it was shiny before the “fans” started to scream), PVC Wonder Woman gear. I knew I could save this one up for when I needed a ‘quicky’. And if you know me a little bit, you know that doing ‘quickies’ is not really my style. I always somehow manage to make things more complicated then they could have been.
Like in this case I just set my mind on turning that hammock into an American flag. Mind you if Wonder Woman would had been Russian based I would had turned it into a Russian flag (would had been much easier too).
After some restless nights how the f* I could do this, I turned to my never failing 3D software Cinema 4D and just started to push polygons.
Step 1: find a huge 2D image of the US flag with Google and put it on a plane (20 x 40 poly’s) with a stick texture tag.
Step 2: Select left and right points and shape them into a rough ‘U’ shape.
Step 3: use the clothing tag and pin said points and let the cloth attribute do its work so your plane starts to fold a bit and hang a bit, just not to much.
Step 4: when happy with step 3, use the magnetic tool and shape the plane till it looks more or less like on the photo. Put it in a hypernurb and render at a large size.
Step 5: copy paste the 3D render into your Photoshop document, position it with the warp tool till it more or less fills the hammock and set the layer to ‘overlay’ and then tweak contrast and color until you are satisfied.
…And I’m running out of time composing this, so you’ll have to wait 24 hours for the next part. Don’t worry, I am striving to complete this one for sure before the turn of the year and do have a good feeling or vibe about this.
See you tomorrow!
