Big sketch dump from the past two years. Not counting the commission work I’ve done, and the big projects that are still in progress. Digitized some of my scrap metal from a photo using FSpy: ![First Parts](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/0/e/2/0e270413f5c1e96cac1f59349b2bff91e76ad13b.jpeg) ![MaRD Stock 20201117](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/2/d/f2d3686b3802a1004296f8efafa630885a5a9c36.png) Made a crazy procgen bookshelf script: [ProcgenBookshelf (1).blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/adzPw4UQaomy8wRcZvOzrzpvg7L.blend) (176.7 KB) ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/3/e/63ea9b49edfeff2f56fb683beecceb8d752e83f8.png) Modeled the Sawayama Wonderdisc from ExaPunks: [RetroDisc.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/fhnFGo4a0v172LIenn6atqcEN33.blend) (219.6 KB) ![RetroDisc2](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/2/c/62c52c21893bc78b3394f4895f759cb6e8b74869.png) Some Greek architecture, corinthian columns and stuff, from Los Romanos de la Decadencia by Thomas Couture: [CyberGreek.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/tO6A0c5UyVUOYA7nxglEa3NKl27.blend) (252.5 KB) ![ProgressRender4](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/9/b/f9bd78925256bc387e5c6c95306aa1d67c722e0f.jpeg) ![ProgressRender8](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/3/6/1364dd7a150170e6c0feeafd6d8b7d46d8aea298.jpeg) An animated poem reading: [![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/f/3/1f3ce07c864883591d4ca37db334b7e622373615.jpeg "Thaw among Frozen Stones (Old Version, Blender)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgt87gdjCcM) ---

All the modeling was done in Blender. Prints are by Shapeways. ---

Playing with branching arithmetic curves: [Deco Vines.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/uTJ8bVcjcWiPPGAyfdDwppv9BOe.blend) (142.5 KB) Just a few examples of the curves: ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/8/5/185f703b27bc71e38a3b0726c85562581e17e3f4.png) The settings are saved to a mesh parameter, so if you select a previously generated curve, the script will copy the settings. Did a stream on the development too: [![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/b/6/6b6fdbc82c3eda2f03a845dca244593b9a9bf242.jpeg "Blender Deco Vines Scripting") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXh61_inbIQ) Updated version that works with Blender 3.0.1 and later.

Got stoked for the Kirby Krackle X-Bot-Galactus in [PA comic/2022/01/19](https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2022/01/19) so I made a bit of it in Blender. ![6mnwgsw0z81f.png](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/0/3/503e05f0424980a0837e7c23861666985a3a667a.png) Pretty happy with how the procedural background texture turned out, though it’s missing a dilate node that I can’t seem to find. The robot is cool too I guess. [Emerald Eye Bot.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/8U7fmXzCumFOZ15M7OAIcyLAOTf.blend) (141.3 KB) ^ source file if anyone wants to run with it. ---

Got an idea for an inverted city-covered planet. A city in the shape of a planet, covered in greenery. ![Big Spaceship1](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/7/6/f76bb67fc7dca8461f10532e616eb05c9a7807d8.jpeg) The circumferential cities are pretty low-effort, but I think it turned out pretty well. ![Big Spaceship2](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/0/b/d/0bd7b0cf6a2b2ac0c0a2b94f8afdea62b1b21fa4.jpeg) Blender file here: [Big Spaceship.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/gxhe9Oa8YYB014HNtGZGn24ETn3.blend) (150.6 KB) ---

Revisited the wedge shapes and had the computer generate and organize them. ![Wedge Shapes](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/f/f/dffe491751806a3cbf80d1a739b8197ea765fde7.png) [Wedge Configurations.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/hG7fMj87Xec3a5eceufXQ6dla2t.blend) (118.2 KB) Put the source file on GitHub as well: > [Previous page](https://blenderartists.org/t/paul-spooner-sketchbook/1136797.md?page=1)
