Seen From Alvin - Deep Sea Dive - 1964
In Honor of my Father who never got to dive deep beneath the ocean but had worked for the company that built parts for the Alvin .. he once told me that he did all the accounting for the parts (big smile) ... around the same time he went back to school to become a computer programmer. I was introduced to flowcharts and binary and machine language .. it was so exciting.. although I have no fondness for Fortran and Cobol LOL … the computer that my father worked on filled a large room! sadly he died before computers became a household necessity .. I know if he had he would have shared the same passion that I also have for the electronic beasties (grin) ..... thanks dad for turning me onto computers! (big smile)
ps. He was also an artist (big smile) .... I’m also very proud of this work. It is only the 2nd image I rendered in XenoDream (big smile)
3D work done in XenoDream with post work in Gimp. Best viewed large.
also available as a T-shirt in varying sizes and styles

Looks like some kind of golden stonefish, keeping with the sea theme.
owlspook replied

What a wonderful, sweet story Owl!! And you should be proud of this wonderful image!! Looks quite prickly! heh heh Is it long lost golden treasure? Or some very strange, shiny creature living way down in the depths of the sea? hmmmmmm
owlspook replied
thank you Jen (big smile) true story (smile)
I’m quite sure it’s a creature of sorts swimming through the deep water as seen through the porthole of Alvin (big smile)
Cheyenne
WOW! Amazing. =) =)
owlspook replied
thank you Cheyenne! (beaming smile) ... it took all of ten minutes of tweaking and almost two hours of rendering! ... thought it was well worth the wait (smile)

syd baker
Excellent pointy fellow, sort of an anglernemone type of shiny puffer spiney… alas, I can’t think of a name yet! You certainly have a deep understanding of our computer beasties as well!
owlspook replied
hehe … he was never named .. seen only once swimming in the dark (grin) ... as for my deep understanding lol … no need I have for flowcharts today, machine language is best left to programs that translate for us and I have no real inclination to be a programmer lol …. that was back in the days of punchcards .. remember what those were? .. well my dad used to bring them home and my mother used to use them as notepaper for grocery lists (grin)

ArtByDrew
Awesome Owl!! If you like Xenodream, you’ll love Incendia!... and it’s donationware!!
owlspook replied
thanks Drew (big smile) ...
hehe I do have Incendia but for some reason I’m having a mental block with it .. just don’t get it … (never had this problem before with software learning) ... so I’m putting it on the back shelf for a bit and concentrating on XD .. I will get back to it again .. maybe by then someone will have done a tutorial or two that I can work with … that might help (smile)
Patty O'Hearn ...
You have done your father proud. This is a beautiful tribute. Love the way the gradient gives the appearance of flickering light and shadows.
owlspook replied
thank you Patty I really appreciate your comment (big smile) ..
it’s not a gradient you’re seeing it’s the lighting off the object .. has the same effect and sometimes better than a straight gradient …
