I always seem to start on stuff and then lose interest.

The renders can look OK sometimes, but they don't seem
"finished" to me, so normally I just file them away and
forget all about it and go play some game and try to
not think of how I keep getting older without having
acomplished anything in life.

Here's a picture I reworked from a model I fiddled
with making once, then revisited with the idea of
making a space scene... but really it needs a better
background, etc...

Other times I test things just to see how they work,
and don't really end up with a scene, just some neat
object.

This is glassy slime on a dirty vase...

Sometimes I get interested in technical aspects,
this is a model of the Alaska Building in Seattle,
which I have never seen except in photos. Which
I mapped to the model...

This is a virtual house, seems kind of big...
I used way to many variables on the pool,
I seemed to think I'd want pools in other scenes
when I made it, but I don't really...

This is a door-plate that I really own, I dug
it up, I think it is probably 19th century.
The whole keyhole thing seemed to appeal to
me for a while, I guess it's one of those
things where my subconscious is expressing
my isolation, how depressing.

Hope you all have a merry Christmas out there
on the other side of the door...

You're not alone... :)  I've got a sidewalk corner - just the surface of the
concrete - sitting there with no building & no grass.   I meant to add, you
know, a city or neighborhood around it but never did.

PS, I like the slimey one too.  It reminds me of Homer Simpson saying "ewww
slimey" when he was looking for that peanut in the couch.

Hey Tim!
Now all those elements you have shown us could be fit into one, strange, 
surrealistic scene, seen through an open door (or maybe a keyhole), with 
slimey things dripping from the spaceships, which are sitting on the lawn of 
some big, classic looking buildings, downtown of a nameless city, under a 
starry sky. Maybe a small christmas tree in the middle, and you would have 
an intriguing christmas scene....   :-)
I know that feeling when experimenting is allright, but nothing seems really 
to be finished at all... However, that might be the upbeat to something 
brewing!

So... Merry Chrismas to you too!!

Thomas
