Base: The Final Frontier
Some semblance of authority?
Its official that I’ll be helping out at the local gaming convention for a basing class. I’m not in charge of the ordeal. I’ll be the standby guy and see how it goes for this year. It’s not being run as a “How To Base” with a selection of materials to hand out or great information of step by step to be followed. In general its a theoretical application of basing where people will bring in their own projects and put them together themselves with a couple of people giving general pointers. Yeah, it sounds like a lame setup but I think maybe a place where I could change perception for better creation.
I think of it as putting on a design class. The elements are really just the same but instead of lines, shape, color on a 2D medium we take it into 3D space. This really is a new idea to me and might be really damn fun to explore. I’m not much for going in on printed media for design and even less so for the digital world because I don’t do those things . I’m pretty simple in this regard of concrete creation. In a world of great flexibility and importance being placed on the digital, the analog world that can be comprehended and interacted with appeals to me despite limitation and the imperfections.
My clumsy hands and the mind ever-dulling which drives them will be utilised to the best of my ability. Hopefully I can inspire some people to make great things that I can look at and admire for their own talent and effort.
