Build Log Illustrations

[Thermal]

Hey LTT community!

 

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Harry! I'm a loooong watcher and lurker! I am also a Graphic Design/Illustration student in the UK with a keen interest in technology and vector artwork. As part of my work currently, in an effort to flesh out my portfolio, I have been creating piece of art like the ones below. This started back in June 2014 when I first made a case layout to plan a water cooled build for my H440 (still not finished it).

 

 

 

 

The List

The official list AND order in which request will be done. Do not dispute the list, it is God.

 

1. 1. Sapphire R9 Fury TRI-X
   2. Sapphire R9 280x Tri-X
   3. MSI GTX 980 Twin Frozr V
   4. Radeon R9 295x2
   5. R9 Fury X
   6. R9 Nano

 

Common Questions

 

These are fake then, huh?

 

Nope, these are 100% my own work and each one is made up of between 100 and 5000 separate shapes all layered up to create the image you see above!

 

Soooo they're traced?

 

Still nope, they are measured before hand and the individual components get made and positioned, this is why there are a few mistakes and differences, this allows me to make them more "artworky" and less technical specs sheet!

 

I have seen these before, did you steal them?

 

If you have seen these before then you either follow my Instagram or are part of the PCMR sub-reddit. I do post their occasionally and I got a reasonable amount of publicity last year for a Parvum (awesome case makers) build that I animated!

 

Can I have these as a wallpaper?

 

Yes of course! All of the images linked here are wallpaper sized (3840x2160)

 

I have a 21:9/16:10/4:3 monitor though!

 

All my images are completely vectored, if you need a custom size just shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

 

I don't like the colour you used on X!

 

Unfortunately tough! If I made every colour for everyone we'd be talking about terabytes of images that would get used once!

 

Why is the layout for X not perfectly like the real thing?

 

Because I don't trace! If I was to trace everything then sure it would be perfect but this is artwork and not circuit guides, I am not iFixit (wish I was though!)

 

Can you do my build?

 

Potentially! I want to ask the LTT community if they're interested in voting on build for me to make, these of course are 100% free and would be entirely decided upon by community feedback. 

 

How long does it take you?

 

Depends on the complexity, a single GPU could take an hour while a fully animated build could take 2-3 days of work.

 

When will it be done?

 

If you're willing to pay, I can give you an end date. As I am doing this in my spare time for free, well I can give you a Linus deadline, "In the future sometime."

 

 

 

 

What was that about animations?

 

Ah I'm glad you asked! 

 

 

There are of course more but this is just a small sample and I dun't want to kill everyone's computers!

 

What was this all about again?

 

TL;DR I am looking for some feedback of build that you guys (LTT community) would like built in my style and then animated! I will obviously be seeking permission of the owner of the build before I go ahead but the aim is to bring a bit of art into the build log section maybe! I am also willing to work on build that are not finished or just concepts, thats how I planned out mine!

Glorious. 

 

Mad props, I use to do Graphic Design work. I came to the conclusion I like doing images for myself more than doing it for other people, on top of that there is a lot of competition in Graphic Design so I decided to look for other avenues of work. Still have my certifications though

 

Question do you use a tablet? If so what type?

[Frost Byte]

Those are actually quite awesome, nice work mate! The animations are your best works, by far.

[BarisERY]

those are some AWSOME animations GJ man.

[Vivilacqua1]

Wow. I love those animations!

I do for other work but this is all mouse and keyboard, trusty M95 has all my Illustrator short cuts on it!

Finally, someone who knows how to actually create a GIF.

[X_Rated_Box]

It is becoming a lost art! 

[RyomaSJibenG]

WOW THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME

i would love to have you made mine if my build wasn't a boring generic stuff


looking forward to your next masterpiece, surprise me

[Vivilacqua1]

Please post more of your work here, I really like it and I'm sure everyone else wants to see more as well. (The way you can do it without killing people's internet is by creating a spoiler. I don't know how to do that, so maby someone in this thread will tell how.)

 

EDIT- I could sit here all day and watch these animations

[Picky Peep]

No kidding.

You keep it in a continuous pose making it seem like a new case is being produced in a factory, other people just loop the GIF.

Like I say guys any suggestions of builds/themes/components are welcome! Maybe we could create a hall of fame for the build log forum? All ideas welcome!

[Speedyv]

Those anamations are great

Good job

I like the RGB lights, might do a build with it!

[Wobblymint]

if you  could make some ultrawide versions for triple monitor setups. just extra length background colors on the side. awsome work by the way.
