Cardinal Copia

Jeeessus..where do I start with these damnable pants! I'm not happy with these yet but my original idea of cutting the pieces and sewing them back together is way above my skill level...so here we are.

I started with some cheap black flare jeans I found here

The flare was way too extreme so I needed to cut them down. I basically just put them on inside out and pinned them along the side of the leg. I then took them off and drew a line with pin that i could follow with my sewing machine. I'm 100% sure this is not the correct way to do this but eh, it worked.

Then I turned them back right side out and drew on them where I thought the over-the-knee pattern should be. I couldn't find my white colored pencil so I had to use pen. Luckily, rubbing alcohol and a towel took the ink back off. I measured between the legs comparing them to make sure they matched.

To fake the look of a true seam I folded the pants along the line and sewed a seam 1/8" from the edge all the way along. I had to slowly reposition it every few inches when it started curving. I did one long seam for the middle of the thigh then curved to the outside and down the leg. Then another smaller seam for the inside that met as closely as I could get it to the other seam at the point.

I still need to iron everything out and clean up the loose threads and lint. I'm thinking I may iron all the seams over to try to mimic a real seam better.

And now for the most unflattering picture ever. The pants look wierd but my husband was playing photographer and losing patience 😂

We had a basic-course in 3D with some Z-brush and Maya.

In the last 4 days we had to create a small animation while using playblast in Maya.

The idea I created in the storytelling course. The sentence “If you want to make it interesting, do something unpredictable.” got stuck in my head and seriously, after so many days of having to create story after story all my head was able to produce was “...it’s quite uncommon for a tree growing out of an egg and then having feathers instead of leaves...”

Sweet Hell, can we please talk about the sound of fingers sliding along amplified guitar strings?!🖤🖤 Fucking perfect! (Skip to 28m50s in the example below)
