February was a really tough month. I stressed like a maniac with a video project prior the skiing camp, and in addition I had a ton of things to do at home, one task which was my main computer being broken, which needed to be backed up before being sent back under warranty.

A week after the camp, I suddenly remembered that February was only 28 days! Luckily I had already begun sketching on a figure, so I was not far from having a concept I liked. I began digitizing it the 27th and finished it the 28th :) I’m still keeping up with the 1 per month cycle! I guess it shows how stressed I am though, the fact that the last couple of figures have all been made at the end of the month…

The green and pink parts are pointing in different directions, but even so they are connected through three vertical metal rods.

This is the first perspective figure that was almost completely drawn from scratch, without any supporting geometry exported from SketchUp. The only thing I had were the vanishing points and two lines. My mind had to bend in new ways to get around this one, and because of the rather complex geometry I also found I wanted it all in one color. No extra patterns or anything, because it felt like it became too confusing to look at.

What made this one a bit tricky to complete was the fact that the left side is rotated 45° in relation to the right side. I made a bunch of calculations of line number relationships before finalizing on a design. I also learned a bit about gradients in Illustrator when colorizing this one :)

The left and right sides are very different, even if it’s one object. The general structure is rotated, surfaces turns into void, depths turns flat. Also notice that the right side has been cut so it would appear like the shape of the left side continues all the way. And on the left side there are cuts that does appear to be connected.

December was very hectic! Getting cards out, fixing with presents, new year celebrations etc. I hardly got this one ready before the month was over! Phew.

The board going from the left to the right is both attached to the top and bottom of the wall.

I worked on this one during the entire month, on four different computers! That is a sign both of how little spare time I have and how much trouble it gave me!

This construction has a top that does not match its’ base. At the same time the markings passes between unconnected surfaces.

It took quite some time to get everything positioned so it would work out, but in the end it was worth the hassle :) I really enjoy to use roundish objects, gives the scene a bit more mechanical feeling, or something like that. I also recommend checking out the Fillwork version of this one!

The two wheels are connected sideways by the beams, while a belt still goes from back to front between them. In addition the frame is both in one vertical plane and connected as two levels.
