What are Affirmasms?


The above quote from page 133 of Affirmations ~ Collected Works of Irony comes via Wordweb, One of my favorite taskbar tools when regular spell checking fails to correctly guess at my literary mess and for the creator's indelible sense of humour.


The original intention for Affirmations sequel was a follow-up entitled Assertions ~ Caste Irony II, the second in this five-part squatter fodder series. Today your support for Affirmations helps keep me, author, actor and artist Dylon Whyte authentic and independent. As well as keeping a torch lit for the full future compilation entitled Grumbledude's Affirmasms ~ I'm Just Super Sayin'.

The kind of shit you get at the end of a long day in front of the monitor?

By no means a natural mathematician, I hardly even understand the meaning of the word equation. (Yes, that was an inside joke. Meaning, get it?) So when it comes to figuring out the arithmetic involved with re-creating chainmail weaves in CG 3D for tutorials the experience can be much like repeatedly bouncing one's head off a marble statue of Pythagoras. To compensate for my lack of knowledge I often create visuals to rationalize  ratios, (Yes, that was another inside joke . Rational numbers, get it?) but I admit the final result is more akin to an abstract digital flower garden than formulas for calculating ratios. I decided it might be a good idea to create a screen capture to help remind me of the relationships of diameter to radius and gauge when creating and recreating a CGI torus objects

Now that the missing link has fallen into place it's time to progress to the next stage of this project... Mwah-ha-ha!

Can you guess what all this mess is going to be?

Proof of concept?



Been a while since doing illustrations and as usual I couldn't find the TXT note with my chart of link proportions. So ended up recreating the work from scratch. What's the final result of this proof of concept going to be? There's only one place where you can find out! Stay tuned! Same chain time, same chain channel!
