This was my first computer graphics project - the quality of line from an early computer plotter was completely different to any I’d seen before. In 1977 (when I did Foundation) not many people had of course - after getting some basic training in FORTRAN I started playing around with a plot of a circle and with moving some of the plot instructions around got it to plot something that looked like a wing. After hounding the computer guy at Derby Art and Technical College (now Derby University) I found out how to reflect the wing ( I’d badgered the computer guy so much he offered me a place on his course;). Now that I had two wings it begged for an angel to be between them. So I found out how to digitize (by hand anyway) an image and set up the co-ordinates in a plotter routine but it led to lots of human error and this was in the age of computer cards which you make as a stack, then hand them over to an operator who then gives you the result a week or two later.
As I’d never gotten around to finishing the work back in 1977-78 I thought I’d put it together now with the help of photomontage. (if I can get hold of a pen based plotter I might have another go).
So this is the 2018 version, there was quite a lot of work gone into it so I might revisit this theme several times as I think it has further to go
