Tutorials
Right now all I have is an old tutorial I wrote back in the day, but I plan to put more modern tutorials (on Photoshop and Blender and such) up here in the near future.
The Creation of the BYU-UUG Logo
My work
Again, this is very old. I'm going to be completely revamping this soon, but in the meantime, all my new art and design stuff has been posted on BenjaminCrowder.com. And my book design work is on Riverglen Press.

Proofread
5-18-02
GIMP 1.2.3
I made this for the Proofread project I'm working on. It's pretty simple
and didn't take very long.
Blank Slate IV
5-14-02
GIMP 1.2.3
This is the old logo for the site.
LDSWriters.Net
4-29-02
GIMP 1.2.3
I was feeling in an artistic mood and so I whipped this up. I really like
clean designs like this.
BYU-UUG Logo (Final)
4-24-02
GIMP 1.2.3, POV-Ray 3.1g
My BYU-UUG Logo below won the most votes, so I touched it up and now it's
at the top of the BYU-UUG
website.
Toy Dog
4-19-02
My hand and a pencil :)
This is another March 16th drawing.
Egg
4-19-02
My hand and a pencil :)
I drew this on March 16th but didn't get it scanned in till now. Not
much, of course, but if you squint your eyes really hard, it looks somewhat
real. :)
Huh?
3-23-02
GIMP 1.2.3, Wacom Graphire
This is the first real picture I've done with my Wacom tablet. I have
no idea what it's supposed to be, but oh well. I really like the
cartoon look.
Extenso
3-23-02
POV-Ray 3.1g, GIMP 1.2.3
I had the idea for this early this morning. In fact, this idea is why
I re-rendered Checker II, which is how I got Checker IV and V. Anyway,
there's no real meaning for 'extenso' -- it just sounded cool. (It's
Latin, by the way.)
Blank Slate III
3-23-02
POV-Ray 3.1g, GIMP 1.2.3
I took Checker V and touched it up a bit in the GIMP. I like the semi-3D
look to the blocks.
Checker IV
Greyscape
3-11-02
GIMP 1.2.1
I spent an hour playing around with the GIMP airbrush tool. This is
what I came up with. The airbrush is very cool. :)
BYU-UUG Logo
3-9-02
GIMP 1.2.1, POV-Ray 3.1g
This is one of my submissions for the BYU Unix Users Group logo
'contest.' It uses Checker II as a background.
Blank Slate II
3-9-02
GIMP 1.2.1
I only meant to test a quick idea I had, but it ended up blossoming
into this. And taking up way more time than I had intended. :)
Blank Slate
3-9-02
GIMP 1.2.1
I cooked this up in a minute or so. I like the font (SF Automaton).
In fact, I used that font in the logo up at the top.
Moonlight
2-22-02
XFractint 20.02.2, GIMP 1.2.1
I found a nice fractal (I can't remember which one, though :)) and
touched it up a little bit in the GIMP, adding the text.
Mbrot
2-4-02
XFractint 20.02.2, GIMP 1.2.1
Fractint is cool. :) I explored around a bit, came upon this
image (it's from a variation on the Mandelbrot set), and touched it up
in the GIMP.
Deepspace
2-2-02
GIMP 1.2.1
I made this on a Saturday when I should have been studying for the
three tests I had the next week. :) But I couldn't resist the
drive to create something -- especially as I hadn't done any
artwork for a while -- and so here it is.
Pixelspace
2-2-02
GIMP, Striker 0.21
I can't remember how I made the original tiles -- probably the GIMP.
Anyway, I dug out my old Pixelspace tileset (see the Striker page for more information) and
made this in a few minutes.
Checker III
9-3-01
POV-Ray 3.1g
This is the scene below with a few slight changes (camera angle,
refraction values, etc.).
Checker II
9-3-01
POV-Ray 3.1g
I finally started playing around with POV-Ray again, and this is
the result. I think it's pretty cool.
Checker
8-28-01
Blender 2.20
I made this in Blender one evening. Originally I had the red
ball moving (using motion blur), but there was no point to it.
Wait, there still isn't any point to it. Oh well --
it's art. :)
Employee Central
8-1-01
GIMP 1.2.1
During the summer of 2001 I worked on the Human Resources
department's website for the company I was at (NextPage,
Inc.), and this is the image I made for the top banner. I'm
quite pleased with it.
Project X
7-4-00
GIMP
Project X was a end-of-the-year project for one of my computer
science classes. This is my favorite of the logos I've done so
far.
