Day 19 - Ponytail
If you're wondering what this has to do with ponytails, well, that plant there is a Beaucarnea recurvata, also called a "Ponytail palm" (not really a palm), also in Mexico called an "Elephant's foot".
However nice they may look, please don't buy them because apparently they are being overexploited and they are on extinction danger.
@hideki highlights are very hard because they are so precise and tedious
@hideki Lol🤣
@Elfie Gracias bro
@BallsackGyroper1488 thanks my brother in christ. At least this month is a piece daily, then will be back at taking my time in preparing each piece with more care.
@meowski It's a space country!
Thanks bro! i wanted to make it as close as i could as an authentic 80s ad haha.
@hideki can you add a couple of paper recyling boxes one 4 White the other for Colered ?
A random critique of your artpiece
@hideki
Water and the environment is perfect, but the swans are all in the default pose.
I believe, that deforming them slightly individually would make them more believable, while taking about 3 minutes to do.
@LukeAlmighty hah i won't even take advice from someone that can't tell aparte swans and geese
Haha no but you are right, in fact i was gonna put some of them flying but i wanted to be done with this piece i forgot some things
@hideki
Magical.
I don't get why did the salt have to go away, but this was so surreal, if I saw this ad in TV, It would be one of the best ones.
@LukeAlmighty in retrospective, it would have been better to make it dissapear in one of those last spins
@hideki
Oh, I've just notised you had streched the salt
Well, it kinda adds to the weirdness. I love it though, because it doesn't feel out of place.
@LukeAlmighty thanks bro
@hideki just to say (I'm used to b3d and wood scraper ;p ) : usually the cutting blade is not so Pi/4 - 90° oriented but more at at ~Pi/8 - 45° related to the wood plane ...
otherwise it's pretty cool ;p
@Olm_e Thank you! yeah, probably it's true i based the angle on a reference image i saw of the actual tool and i just copied the angle, they may have had it that way for illustrative purposes or i don't know.
@hideki ok ... looks like some are done with the blade more straight so to more finely polish the wood that to scrape mater out of it ... you just don't never know the diversity of tools in #woodworking so nevermind ;)
Seeing it again the scallop seems a bit dry, the roughness was almost zero but still i couldn't make it look more wet.
