Player Portrait by Icarus

July 8th, 2008 12:03 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Paint a fellow player - we'd really prefer that you use their player photo as your model, though. Any medium/style, but let us know what you end up doing with it.

The first praxes I saw were of the gummies. I will officially say this:

The gummies totally ROCK MY WORLD. Big time.

So I decided to draw them, in a particularly nerdy medium and style... Using my insane powers of mathematics! (Note: I make no real claim that the following is entirely accurate. Even if it is slightly wrong, it shall not detract from my overall brilliance. I hope.)

Yeowza!Take a look at the pics! ;)

Gummies are the best.

The quick idea I jotted down while on my morning run!


Gummy Analysis

Gummy Analysis

These mathematical gummies are of a circular nature, simply because it makes it easier for me not to stuff up.

The figure on the right is the traced, "intended" gummy shape.

The formulas for gummy bear parts!


Calculator Test

I also tried using arcs and circles to draw a graph on a calculator, but my calculator skills were not 1337 enough.

It may not look particularly like a gummy in this form, but it certainly does depict one!

Live models stand by their flat representations.

TEAMS! Oh my.

Whee, I figured out how to associate tasks with MATHEMATICS!

This reminds me of the part in Nightmare Before Christmas where Jack is trying to work out the mathematics of Christmas on his chalkboard. It reminds me of it in all of the best ways.

For the sticklers who say that a bunch of relations don't make for a painting...

It's nowhere near Tupper's self referential formula, but it's a gummy, and that makes it better.

Super! For another player portrait honoring the gummies, see this 'un.

The gummies did not know that they are made out of math. This discovery pleases them greatly.
