The Snowden Principle

    “furry scurry” t-shirt?

    So just wondering if anyone knows if the perspective lines seen drawn first start at the point of the camera?

  • stillcantfightthedite

    Shouldn’t the vertical outside edges of the controller be parallel with each other?  Or is this just a result of the camera’s perspective?

    Otherwise, nice work!

  • Digilante

    This is one of those things that splits my brain in two. One half says “cool!”, the other says “what a waste of time”.

    Nice! Without any scenery around, it looks almost like he’s sculpting in thin air :)

      It really, really does. Especially when he’s finishing off the final touches of Mario.

  • CrivenS

    dude needs to invest in some good knee pads if he is spending that long working on the floor.

    I always wanted to see how these things looked from another angle than the intended viewing angle.
