Corridor 8

First picture of the year. Another picture in my 'Corridor' series. I skipped 7 because I had to label this one 8. Of all of these corridors I've made this is the first one that doesn't use a one-point perspective, but three. This picture was one of many that started last year and should have finished last year. It's still unfinished but I really want to move on.

The first spacecraft I made in Inkscape. In the last minute want to try something called "Aztecing" that is small detail painted on the surface of a model to make it appear larger than it is.

Inkscape In 3D II
Boxcutter
A couple years ago I posted "Inkscape in 3D" to see what I could while experimenting with 3D text effects in Inkscape. I wanted to take it up a notch with curved text

HexaTest

This started out as a just a experiment to make hexagonal tiles, but I wanted to make them reflective. So I added text, and made it reflective too.

Corridor 9

This wasn't meant to be a "Corridor" picture. It was going to be a silo with characters looking up, but I couldn't help myself. It was also another excuse to make another spaceship.

Originally posted on Deviant Art: "This one was a doozy to "finish". After I complete one of my robot lion pictures start sketching up a new one soon after but I don't finish (see "Blue Lion" in my scraps). But this one I started sketching months after my "Green Lion Revisited". At first I just drew the head with no real plans after that. I considered making it some sort of helmet/faceshield, but I had to make it a new robot. I wanted to give it a battle worn look but putting dirt and grime on it but I couldn't figure out a way to make it look convincing so I gave it scratches and scars."

Second spaceship using a more compleated "aztecing" technique using shape builder.

Originally posted on Reddit I was going to do this some other time, but my brain couldn't let it go. u/ToohotmaGandhi post a request for a tutorial on how to create a certain liquid gold effect. I had to see if I could do it myself. This is my second attempt and It took me over an hour. I could spent more time on it and I might but I got other projects that need finishing. This is my first tutorial so I don't know if this is super helpful but here goes... First I made the basic "Ink" shape by hand in Inkscape. I didn't want to waste anymore time searching for fonts. Second drew all of the highlights by hand. There might be a better way to do this, but I didn't feel like searching for it. I grouped all of the highlight that are facing the same directions together so that I could modify the color, intensity and the blur levels independently. Third I made copies of the main outline. One copy I made into a shadow. Another I made into a bright highlight. And another I inverted and blurred it and then clipped into another copy of itself as to give depth shadow to the main shape. Does any of this make sense to anyone? I could provide a more detailed explanation if there is interest.
