As we reach Saturday :polarbearsunglasses:, we release the 6th issue of #waifuswaifus :wafu_rotate:, a short magazine, this issue's theme is office ladies! 💻:pleroma_fox_tan: 💻 :ai_nomming:
I'm tired of sitting through #science talks where all plots are properly credited but artist's impressions and photographs aren't.
As a researcher and astrophotographer who works with super talented artists, this attitude really bothers me.
You study galaxies at the dawn of time. You look for biomarkers in the atmospheres of distant planets. You can most definitely find who made that cool image you just pasted in your slides.
I blew the dust off this model and threw it into Blender 4 for some turntable renders. I liked the original light purple backdrop, but it looks pretty good on red, in my opinion!
And the completed plot! The richness of the red with the soft fabric-like texture of the blue is one of my favorite color palettes so far. And lots and lots of movement. What do you see?
CMYK Carousel on 24”x36” watercolor, generated with #Python and plotted on a vintage HP DraftPro DXL #PenPlotter. Total plot time was just over 7 hours.
My first large plot in many months: a new Carousel, about 5 hours in, about 2 hours remaining. Cyan and yellow are down, magenta going down now, and finally black. Python generated and plotted on a vintage HP DraftPro DXL on 24”x36” watercolor paper.
CMYK Carousel with intense swirling vortexes of blue and gold. It reminds me of two galaxies about to collide. Get close and zoom in on the third photo to see the hatching.

CMYK Carousel in pink and gold, a winter warmer for a chilly day! It may not look like it, but there are cyan strokes in this plot (a little over 9%). Seeing these colors mix over the course of this 5 hour plot is always a joy.

A new CMYK Carousel plot, this time in yellow/-green chartreuse and blue denim all from just three 0.5mm pens (CMY— the K is just for outlines here). Lots of movement in this one too plus the strokes give some moiré which just seems to visually vibrate to me.

This thing I built (and ate) uses Instax Square film, has an active isomalt sugar lens, and a gravity paper shutter with a Christmas tree-shaped aperture!
It was featured on PetaPixel, designboom and others. But I would love for you to learn more about it here as it's the most comprehensive overview of the project with 47+ photos.
