BONG is an apu derivative. As far as I know a French Bernd made it back in 2016's august, they started to make variations of it right in the first thread, quite a few. Since I was permabanned I could only participate with suggestions and comments (Mekong was an idea of mine) - I used a proxy. Next day or so (maybe to days later after it first appeared) KC main went down. Coincidentally the French dude too retreated to 8ch/kc just as me. A BONG thread was created and soon I started to draw them. Bernd gave many tips and they draw some too, bout half of them are my work.

I use GIMP so I have an .xcf template I made from the original and work with where the caption BONG is on a different layer (otherwise it's the png template in OP).
All the other letters are hand drawn. I keep the .xcf files so the captions are on their own layers sometimes one letter on one layer, and I just open a file and can reuse the letters with copypasting into the new image.
Previously I promised an alphabet template too, so I'm gonna do that next, I hope today, I'll create a png and will upload the .xcf too somehow I think End takes a .zip.
I dunno what format is used by PS, maybe I should create a compatible one to that too. Tho I would recommend everyone to use the libre GIMP instead of that proprietary monstrosity.

Try using some of these

I'm just going to use a similar font and use the orange yellow font for it. Too much of a hassle making it the same I think

Here's what I put together from my different BONGs. Had to resize some.
C and L has variations, I like neither but I'm considering polishing the second C to a usable one (that was in a smaller text, in the Cologne's FICKI), and keeping the first L.
I also want to change J, V, X, and Y and don't really glad with U but can live with for now. I only have plan for X.

I'll post the following versions when I have them.
But I'd encourage future artist to draw their letters on their own, tapping their own creativity as others did when they made their BONGs, for example:
 >>/22630/ CROM
 >>/22636/ KANG
 >>/22640/ NONG
 >>/22646/ all
etc. etc.

Made a Q and changed the X. This one is better but feels suboptimal.
Next gonna remove duplicates. From the Cs I'm gonna keep the middle one, but clear it up so it'll have sharper silhouette. The firs L will remain but with a bit shorter foot.

I decided to finally it's time to make a new one. Well it's a modification to an already existing one, but it's fine. Maybe gonna change the background to something different.
Thanks to the boongs on /ausneets/ for the inspiration.
I was thinking about a couple more but at the moment I can't remember what were those.

Boong v2, without orange background.
Then noticed how shitty that didgeridoo is, had a fuzzy white outline, the remains of the white background. Someone did a shitty job with that png. Corrected that. So boong v3 is also included, most likely the final form.

Didgeridoo.

Yeah, tried to find an image of the Australian bushes suitable for the purpose, wasn't that easy. All the outback photos are too orange, this makes the caption disappear.

Don't wanna make a new thread for this (for now) because I'm not sure where this will lead.
It's a while now I fucked around with Blender. They maded all kinds of changes to the ui since 
then. And to the under the hood stuff, they added new render engines as well. So I figured I reacquaint meself with it.
Due to my potato I can't make realistic stuff, so I decided to make something resembling to Lego. No lengthy dilly-dally with the materials, just slap one color diffuse over everything. What I get to like in 3D modeling was the modeling anyway. And it always reminded me of Lego.
And I don't even need that bumps lego blocks are joined together, less details to take care of, and it also gives me some creative freedom.
For starters I maded a blank figure, I'm gonna try and add the smiley face texture for the heda, hopefully next, hopefully sometimes not too far in the future. From then I'm gonna use this figure as a scale of reference for the stuff I'm gonna attempt to model, ofc similarly in Lego style. Let's call this Blengo, because why not.
As usual, can't promise anything, gonna just go with it, when time and mood coincides.
Maybe I could make a blend file and share it if someone wants it.

Refined a couple of things and added the faec.
To smooth the hands and the legs I have to add some lines at the edges. Maybe next time or maybe I'm gonna just leave like that. The figure itself isn't really important, it will be just a ruler to scale stuff to it. For now.

Trying to change the scenery. Looks like ass for now. But some cool features they added. There's the ocean modifier, but I suspect to exploit the capabilities I'd need a bigger potato. Back then I remember creating the almost illusion of water by adding wave texture, it could be done subtly, and make it acceptable, now I did not manage that. Haven't given up yet.


 >>/44530/
I just make stills, I don't think I need game engines.

Did not have time to update this work, and I dunno when I'm gonna have. However I'm not satisfied with the head. Too flat. I'm gonna correct the hair to make it more of a dome.

He opened the chest with this little key.
I'm not sure how could I make that proportionate in Lego proportions. I started with the keyhole but to make that Lego sized should have redesign the chest which I did not want.
Also battling with the topology in the background. Very sisyphusian task.

Correcting topography again. Making the grass line smooth. The shoreline is more or less corrected. Gonna have to fiddle with that sometimes because I'm thinking making the water two layered, the one above semi-transparent so the shores could be seen below water level. Maybe making a shark too sometimes later. Much later.
But I have more immediate plans.

Finally let's take a look at the contents of the chest.
Besides the haplogroup map, it holds some gold, ö bottle of beer ö day, a sword, and a real pirate hat! This must be a pirate treasure! What an unexpected turn of events!
That key is revolting.

I might fuck around with that bottle more. I'm not sure if I tuned the material well. We'll see how it looks outside of the chest somewhere well lit.
The copper and the gold has some weird reflections, maybe I should tune down the glossyness.
And I really should open a thread for this.


 >>/50037/
That one is not mine. Sadly I don't remember anymore who created it, but it is sure it was in "our group" who made the BONGS for a while, starting in 2016.
You can see it in this post btw:  >>/22626/
Sometimes I see my work posted here and there. Maybe I should repost them again on Kohl - along with those who others made. Perhaps when I shill the movie night.
