innovation projects

this is the innovation projects on a Tuesdays.
First attempt at a blur julian opie
it is unfinished i need to do a nose mouth and other features

Even thought this art style is simplistic it does have a wide verity of skill such as the hair are different shades rather than one colour.





This project has finished.


We are currently using illustrator and are working on creating monsters my design is a zombie in a Victorian outfit design.


New project designing a Monster i have chosen a Zombie at first i drew a design for a one armed no head zombie that looked like this.
however this design was in my opinion badly drawn and had flaws such as not a lot of detail and disproportion of the shoulders and clothing so i redid my design with the principles of a zombie 
i created a zombie with half a head with more arm but still missing with added detail to the clothing 
I took inspiration from the film corpse bride by Tim Burton.

in future I will try to use a scanner however currently its not available my next task will be to put this into illustrator i have already done a previous version so I will have to scrap and redo. This is one of the first time I have used a program like this however I do not have the software for home so I cannot practise in my spare time. I also have not got a scrap book of A3 paper college will have some to buy soon.

The principle of using illustrator to trace drawings is taking the pen tool and going around the outline of the monster and adding layers to created different parts for example flesh and clothing. on a side note i have been having trouble with both illustrator, Maya and Photoshop with the commands I am accustomed to a PC format and will need to learn the commands otherwise I will be very limited to what I can do.

after using software like photoshop i am beginning to teach myself skills however i am still limited to what i can do as a result my final design is very basic such as uneven shaped abnormal forms i am more comfortable using pen and paper rather then mouse and keyboard. however with practise my designs will get better and improve.
This was my final design for this I took a drawing that I created then traced using the pen tool because of my inexperience she I first started looking back there was a lot of things i did wrong for example the  layers of his clothes were wrong if i redid the design I think I will improve.

After doing this project we moved onto a new project that relates to the previous where we take carbon paper and imprint a outline of our monster and using a roller and ink print out a copy with ink here are my results.


This was my first attempt using the roller printing method by mistake I did not scrape away the face so it would not be black because it is the same colour as the background.


On my second attempt I changed the face so it is a different colour as the background and I used damp paper so the ink particles would stick better to the paper making it more darker and less splotchy on the white coat area however I like the dark stain pattern on the coat to give my monster more of a decayed look.


This is a new project involving incorporating a background with our monsters I have a forrest with a black and white filter with added monster and gravestones with shadows.


I have created a photoshop creature from an existing image i have crated a orc type creature fro a picture of Obama


i have changed the tone of his skin dded features like horns and ear/nose rings liquified the nose to create the desired shape and added shading and colour for the mouth skin and eyes. i think i have done a good job at creating a visual representation of a non human human creature from an existing human model.

Currently we are creating a online portfolio for our work on all courses and in our spare time 

our next project involved creating a personal go here are some concept i have got so far.
combining a dead tree with a sword and lightning to create a fantasy type logo that i think reflects me.
