PsyJelly 18 — Culprate, Shankara, Beatroots

September 2023

Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom

Tools: Blender, Photoshop

🌐🔗B̄ehance link

I wasn't originally going for such a geometric form, but I created this accidentally via a repeating-shape modifier in Blender, and thought it looked really cool, so I went with it.

This project also gave me the opportunity to 3Dimensionise existing 2D rasters, which was great experience that is useful in pretty much every 3D rendering & animation project. I learnt about meshes, cleaning up the nodes, methods like loop-cutting, topology, and more.

This was my first real dip into using Blender. I had been playing with it for a few weeks prior, building an underwaterscape around my first 3D model of the PsyJelly logo.

Perfecting the colouring and the material surfaces is a tricky job and there are so many parameters in different aspects of the 3D world that it can be quite frustrating, especially with how long it sometimes takes to render after each modification. I have learnt some tricks on how to make super-speedy renders, just to see how it looks...

Don't buy MSI machines!!!

My laptop is a gaming laptop (made by MSI! Don't buy MSI!!!) and the GPU has some kind of problem when certain tasks are run by Blender, causing the laptop to drop power instantaneously, of course losing all my work since the last autosave. Due to this bug, I've since stopped experimenting with 3D rendering, although I'll test future Blender builds out when I have free time. Maybe Blender and/or Nvidia updates have fixed the bug.

I had a lot of fun with this design. Combining these colours is an absolute joy, and I resurrected the jellyfish graphic from 📄my first PsyJelly flyer. I made extensive use of up-lighting in this image.

PsyJelly 12 — Beltane & Danceculture Livestream

April 2020

Online,

Tools: Hand-drawn, Inkscape

🌐🔗B̄ehance link

This was the first time I did not have my own laptop available! So I had to improvise. I drew some of the text by hand (some of which later developed into a whole font, although I never digitised it), and had to compose the image using Inkscape which was able to run well enough on the hostel admin computer where I was staying.


PsyJelly 11 — Beatroots & Bayawaka

September 2019

Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom

Tools: Photoshop, and lots of visualisation

🌐🔗B̄ehance link

This flyer was really complicated to create. I tried to make the flyer paper appear be translucent, like peering through a slice of the sea. Everything I did on one side, I wrapped into a "smart object" in Photoshop and underlaid it in the background of the other side, applying a blur filter to it. My laptop of the time was not very powerfull so the process of constant re-editing took a verrrry long time.

I also learnt a bit about colour spaces during this one — when I changed the colour space, several of the layer blending modes appeared dramatically different and no longer provided the effects that I had created in the other colour space.

This was the first event that we posted on our Instagram story, so I experimented with edits to fit the IG story aspect ratio.

Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom

Tools: Hand-drawn, watercolour paint, Photoshop

🌐🔗B̄ehance link

Co-operative event between Mycelium Marshland and Psychedelic Jelly

Final version for print and web
Original final version. I wasn't happy with it because my paint-mixing method was not good and the colours looked too muddy for my liking. It was too hard to get the text to stand out, so in the end I made the colour edit that you can see above this picture.
