Lazy Afternoon – Regatta Point

Took this quick panorama two days ago while I was out at Regatta Point with my sister and Lardman.

EVE Online: Phobos Wallpaper

Right so I finally got around to putting together another EVE Online wallpaper.
This time I tried recreating the paint job of the Gallente Heavy Interdictor – The Phobos.

Here’s the backstory as to how it came into my possession.

I acquired this baby from one of my contacts at Roden Shipyards.
This is the original Phobos prototype.
Unlike the production model that has guns this one has been optimised for Heavy Assault Missile Launchers.
Amazing how ships like this are just sitting in hangers collecting dust :p

I did all posing and such in Garry’s Mod, post production in Photoshop, and logos were re-vectored in Illustrator.

Grab the full sized version here.

Enjoy!

Strike Witches Silhouette Decal: Mio Sakamoto

Having figured that my laptop was a bit plain and needed a little sprucing up I decided to make a decal of sorts.
I chose to make a simple silhouette of Mio Sakamoto (No not K-ON! Mio).Originally the decal was made of that printable label stuff but it had difficulties sticking to the textured laptop lid so I used contact paper instead (the sort you wrap books with).

So after making a quick vector in Photoshop and printing out the design I proceeded to cut out the decal using a hobby knife for a clean and precise cut.
After a few more minutes of cutting…

Gentlemen I present to you… CORM MIO!!!

It turned out alright but I need to work on my cutting skills to get cleaner rounder cuts around the edges.
If anyone wants the vector feel free to drop us a comment.

Photo: Fuse

Because I’m lazy here’s the blurb that I wrote on DeviantArt.

Took this a few days ago.

This is actually the fuse panel at home.

Minimal adjustments to exposure, everything else was set in camera, shot as is in near darkness at 800 ISO and f/1.7.

Hope ya’ll enjoy it!
