Day 70: Worms in hats 7

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Today you get two worms for the price of one =)

If I wouldn't have had the title all ready for this one as it's part of a theme I'd called it "Imitation".

Day 69: Worms in hats 6

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

A worm on a rainy day, but as you can see he is prepared.

Day 68: Worms in hats 5

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Today it's a hat in the more traditional sense, the decorations aren't necessarily all that traditional though.

Day 67: Worms in hats 4

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Once again I interpret "hat" very widely to present to you the Wormonaut, here seen leaving the Earth to go on one of his intergalactical travels.

Day 66: Worms in hats 3

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

As a worm doesn't have any hands she has to hold the torch and tablet in her mouth :-)
(And just to be sure this doesn't get misunderstood: This is in no way an attempt to ridicule the Statue of Liberty or America or anything at all, it's simply a "wormification" of a known statue. The Statue of Liberty is actually interesting to read about, one place to do that is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_liberty )

Day 65: Worms in hats 2

Created in openCanvas 4.5 (with some small help from Artrage 2.5) using a Wacom Intuos 3

Continuing this weeks theme, here is a worm in a crown, which can be seen as a kind of hat.

Day 64: Worms in hats 1 (This weeks theme)

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using Wacom Intuos 3

The reason this picture is called "Worms in hats" rather than "Worm in hat" is that this is the first picture in a theme. I asked one of my friends what theme he thought I should have this week and then "Worms in hats" was what he said, so that is what it'll be :)

Day 63: Fight the fire

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

About as abstract as it gets, an axe above a volcano =)

Day 62: Eye and triangle

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

This image is another proof that one can be inspired by all kinds of things. I was sitting on a bus today and while waiting for the bus to leave the station I looked down on the wet asphalt and saw a pattern which was something like the above. (Not as elaborate of course, and I've got a fairly vivid imagination, but it's still interesting that such simple things can inspire you :) )

Day 60: Silent reflection

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Not sure how silent this is, there's a lot of noise in this picture, but the again, if it's supposed to be abstract it can just as well be a bit strange too :)

Day 59: Breaking apart

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Continuing this weeks theme with another fairly abstract piece :)

Day 58: Meek isn't weak

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

In case you find the words on the picture difficult to read they say "Meek is NOT the same as weak"

Day 57: Burning table

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Fire can be very devastating in reality, but it's very fun to create as an effect in a graphics program. It's not as hot to deal with this kind of fire either.

Day 55: Sunset

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Playing a bit with the "watercolor brushes" in openCanvas I got this nice image of a sunset.

Day 51: Water dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Here is the water dragon to finish off the "elemental dragons" series.

I haven't painted in every drop of water. The drops in the background are created using one of openCanvases features, called tones, that makes it possible to paint/draw etc as usual, but only the parts corresponding to the chosen "tone" are affected. The drops in the dragon's mane are done using the same base image, but this time as the nib/tip of the tool I've used.

Day 48: Earth dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Number three in the element dragons series: The Earth dragon. I though earth would be really hard to portray, but I'm satisfied with this, though it could double as a tree trunk dragon too =)

Day 43: Elemental dragon

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Hopefully you can see the dragon =) I'm thinking on doing a variation on this theme tomorrow too, but we'll see about that, read on in the next post (On spoons and inspiration) a bit about inspiration. (And just in case anyone wonders, those scribbles on the right-hand side aren't supposed to mean anything, in case they accidentally do mean something I don't wholeheartedly approve of it until I know what that'd be)

Day sixteen: Over the sky (in two versions)

Created in openCanvas 4.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3Created in GIMP 2.4.4 using a Wacom Intuos 3

The two versions are made in two different programs. The first one is made using a program called openCanvas, and when I'd made it I thought "why not try to recreate it using GIMP". So that's what I did, and here you can see the two versions. They're slightly different
, but while I like the first one better they both have their good sides :)
