After following Datameister's awesome
Disneyland in 3D! thread for some time, I decided I wanted to do some DL 3D modeling, too. It was going great, but I ran into a snag that just wasn't looking like it was going to be easily fixed... so I put that project away for an undetermined amount of time.
BUT, I didn't let the idea of it die off. So, one day at work (
after we finished our work!
), I decided to pass the time by copying Sleeping Beauty Castle using... wait for it... Microsoft Paint. Yes, you read right.
Paint.
After being reluctant to post my progress (for a while now), I decided to just go ahead with it, and share my work with all y'all. Remember, this is a work-in-progress, and (as I'm very quickly discovering) there's
a LOT of detail in the castle... moreso than I thought. This project
will take some time.
Currently, I'm working on fixing some size/proportion issues with some objects before I continue on with painting more of the castle.
Also, so you know, I'm doing this all off of this picture (that I took):
and I'm eyeballing the whole thing. I'm not using grids or any other method to make this easier. I feel that that's cheating, in a way.
So, with no further ado, I present Sleeping Beauty Castle (in 2D!):
I am also experimenting with different colors for the roofs. I'm not
quite happy with them, as is.
P.S. And before you ask (even if you weren't going to), I "kind of" used the title of Datameister's thread for mine. I'm not very good at naming things (anything, really), and I couldn't come up with any other way to say it. Too, because I'll be doing more of Disneyland via this method, so a thread title specific to the caslte only wouldn't've worked, either.
