Artist's Comments

(Illustrator; 3DS Max)

This is for a new Dream involving dragons. The head of the drum was designed in Illustrator, then texture-mapped on.

Sometimes being a computer artist means designing something. It helps to know a little basic engineering. In this case, I've designed a fairly stable stand using a minimum of materials. It consists of three hardwood uprights, a strong metal hoop, and a triangle of sinew rope. The drum's weight pulls downwards, pressuring the uprights to collapse inwards. The hoop is a fulcrum as the sinew rope pulls the uprights outwards and upwards again.

The kettle shape bounces the sound waves back at the drumhead, strengthening the sound.

very clever design.

indeed, being a computer artist does require some skill in not only engineering, but correct architecture, and of course good use with anatomy, especially when designing a new species of creature.

your engineering pays off with this fullproof design! :)

Why dance with wolves, when fire is so much warmer?
