I have updated my website with some new material..... Thumbnails 6: Graphic geometry with help from the splendid DrawLots. Thumbnails 7: AW conversions of three Illustrator tutorials from Vector tuts+. The final gear in "Gear wheels" shows that AW is capable of a realistic metallic finish (all done in blends).
Some impressive images there. I still prefer the fox (thumbnails 5) - I would wouldn't I! Walter was very wary about producing images of mammals using vector graphics but my challenge seemed to bring out the best in his artistic abilities - especially with that fox. He also produced a private commission for me - a beaver using bit-mapped graphics - but the fox remains my firm favourite. If anyone wants to rise to a similar challenge, then Qercus (we're up and running again) would be happy to set similar tasks again. A 'contrary' task that springs to mind is a droplet (see Richard's thumbnails 7) that looks as much as possible like the photograph of a real droplet.
