Hey Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this week I had the pleasure of rendering this little fellow. The actual process was significantly easier than I had initially expected, but it reminded me of the classic, low-resolution polygon sprites that would always find their way into popular movies and video games from the early 2000s. Simpler times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This actually opened some interesting ideas into the world of digital curation. Perhaps this can have some fun applications for an online archive of books, artifacts, etc. that I may stumble across during my travels. Maybe I can create an online museum-esque space of things I’ve come into contact with. Given the ease of production with Qlone, I think it would be easier to do than initially thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
