lawn Posted July 20 Report Posted July 20 Testing how far I can push using just regular glass to increase the number of colors you can get for a greyscale. Probably still needs some tones between the chalk and phyllite. Here is the before adding the regular glass vs after. Found that some of the basalt shifts lighter with the glass when compared to the shale. 5 2
Farmore Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM Whoa, cool. I wonder if using a chiseling method like this, inset in a wall, if you could produce the follow-me-eyes optical illusion effect...

I will have to try. Usually I don't like pairing phyllite with andesite, because one is warm and the other is cool, and I went with the darker one in this case, but it probably would work with one or the other or both in a greyscale. 23 minutes ago, Farmore said: Whoa, cool.

I inset the pupils a bit for this one and they do follow you are bit, but the illusion breaks down looking from the side too far, probably because some of the levels around the eyes interfere. Give me a bit and I'll see if I can capture it. Though I do have a rough outline for a painting based on a Cezanne that I've never finished where that illusion does work. That entire eye for that one is one color, so maybe that is why that one works better. 1
lawn Posted Wednesday at 12:18 AM Author Report Posted Wednesday at 12:18 AM @Farmore I got the eye illusion working. Also I totally forget granite @7embre! 1
Farmore Posted Wednesday at 12:25 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:25 AM Spoiler Whoaaa freaky... that's a really cool effect. I see what you mean by the illusion breaking too far to the side but up close it really does look like the eyes are following you. That's really cool. It's kinda creepy actually, bet someone could make a creepy horror map with stuff like this. Also the granite is a really nice touch. Big fan 10/10 !! 1
