I haven’t posted much here even though I already have over 2000 designs. Here’s my latest one.
I’m pretty pleased with how it came out. I wish I could claim credit for the beautiful textured face, but I don’t have such skill. It was borrowed from an image of a watch I found online. Still, it took quite a bit of my work to make it usable for a Facer watch face. Then again, I didn’t design the true type font I used to create the numbers.
I was excited to finally understand how to create my own moon phase dial. I didn’t draw the moon image from scratch either, but I did create the dial. But what I’m most pleased with was that since the rotation formulae I found online were so long and confusing, with what I learned, I made my own formula, which I think (I hope) works as well as what I read about. Here it is:
The other little item that seems to have become a signature part of my watch faces is the moving foot prints to indicate steps. It uses two images, the first with $((round(#Ds#/2))-(#Ds#/2))!=0?100:0$ for the opacity, and the reverse image with $((round(#Ds#/2))-(#Ds#/2))=0?100:0$ for the opacity.
I wouldn’t have been able to come up with these formulae without all the help I’ve gotten here on the Facer community.
That’s pretty neat Sir, I like it, especially your little Steps Icon
Here’s your Steps as a single, 2 frames gif if you want it -
It’s between these arrows It’s there, it’s white lol
And here’s another one in Black for you -
Good job @wsilbers. The moon phases can be tricky.
I took a look at your faces, and you’ve got quite a few gems in there. I especially like some of the antique style ones. You should post more often, I am sure some of the folks here would appreciate your inpute.
Since I was encouraged to post more of my creations, here’s my latest one.
It took a bit of work to fit all the components. I like the little window that shows the state of the sun. It’s not deadly accurate. The Sunrise graphic comes on at the hour of sunrise rather than the exact time, and the full sun comes on an hour later. Sunset comes on at the hour of sunset and the night sky comes on an hour later. No points for accuracy, but I like it. If anyone wants to suggest coding to make it more accurate, I’ll be glad to take the info.

That is nice I Like the little day sky window . Thanks for posting the Lite Classic Moon Rotation Formula . It would almost be nice to have nothing digital at all on there and some markers for SR SS . But you have probably had enough working on that .
It’s there, it’s white lol
