Anyone Up For Some Friendly Competition?

Brad...all, there is already a competition going on right now. The Jamoca Jedi has posted a challenge here.

Thanks for the reminder but I tried to do gingerbread and got very frustrated. It wasn't the gingerbread, it was the icing.

Boofredlay,

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that thread.

I'll work on a ginger bread hause. With my skills, or lack thereof, I can see many challenges including the globular icing.

Here's a quickie I did today during class . . . sorry to get off topic . . .

I keep thinking that if I keep doing this that someday, maybe I'll improve. Not happening so far, but it sure is fun. I discovered a new tool today which is always great.

come in and draw with us 001.JPG

This was just a quick, maybe 6 or 7 minute model - very simple, but, at least the gallery has begun. Now, it certainly won't be difficult to "better" this model, eh, so, bring it on!

why isnt it green??? haha

Actually, GreenToaster refers to my car, a kiwi green Honda Element - looks like I'm driving a toaster.

Toaster,
I'm afraid I might have misunderstood your request for a toasterbed mower. Actually I think it would be a killer concept. I guarantee you would be the first one out of the garage on Saturday morning and would be done mowing before the neighbors even knew what hit them.......and all from the comfort of your own bed.No wasted time going to Kwicky Mart for your coffee and muffin.

I took the liberty of adding a coffee machine to this rig.......it just seemed like there was something missing.Someone else can add the bed linens. I suggest a Kevlar/Nomex blend with plenty of restraint straps.

Sure, I have some details to flesh out with controls and propulsion issues, but that's minor.............
Thanks for looking
Rich

Here is my quick version, took me about 15 mins or so...

I was quite surprised how quick I did it considering I don't normally do stuff like this "I mainly do straight line stuff " and I'm still learning...

Very cool stuff - I like all three of them - thank you for contributing.

For next week's contest I thought it would be nice if the folks at Google would provide a prize - like, maybe a BMW Z4 Coupe. I'd like red, please.

Happy Sketching,

Brad

Wait for me....

Been busy ending my current projects, doing a tutorial for another app and screwing up the forum transfer, so I threw a toaster together quickly in order to contribute.

I will give a better effort next time.
