Intricately Patterned Animal Illustrations It would be hard to tell from these strikingly detailed animals but artist Iain Macarthur got his start drawing cartoon characters. Now he carries his sketchbook on the bus, to the cafe and everywhere else as he includes more realism and in this case pattern in his illustrations. See more of his animals (and even some cartoons) at iainmacarthur.carbonmade.com.

Alexandra Mackenzie I could spend months staring at Alexandra Mackenzie’s ultra detailed drawings. Featuring tribal shamans, flesh eating wolfs, and tiny unicorns running around in balls of hair, Alexandra’s drawings have something for everyone. The only thing missing is that there aren’t more drawing on Alexandra’s site. While the drawings are in short supply she does have a great series of collage work that relate to the drawings in a very interesting way.

Her speech bubble heavy works, mix diverse linear characters with perfectly placed splashes of paint, giving the pieces a happy mix of perfection and chaos. If you cruise by her website, lorazombie.com or DeviantArt, you’ll find a plethora of other work with new pieces from her latest show at Mart Gallery, St. Petersburg, Russia. See the bottom of this post for an intimate look at Lora creating her piece “Love Shock.” If you like this art, see our post on watercolors by Conrad Roset. Below, Lora Zombie creates Love Shock.

Fluid Simulator Check out my blog! E-mail: kotsoft@gmail.com Fluid Instructions: You can drag the fluid around with your mouse and adjust the sliders at the top to change the properties of the fluid in real-time. Check out my newest app: Grantophone! More cool demos! Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=" About This is my implementation of the Material Point Method. For interpolation, I use the quadratic B-spline presented here: Analysis and Reduction of Quadrature Errors in the Material Point Method. Instead of integrating the density over time (which is what most of the MPM papers do), I do a density summation every frame. Material Parameters Some of these parameters are hard to explain in one or two sentences (and a couple I made up) so I'll also link you to their corresponding Wikipedia pages. Density - Target density for the particles. Stiffness - How compressible the fluid is. Bulk viscosity - Kind of like damping. Gravity - How much the particles will accelerate downwards.
