Project 2

For the second project, I was to illustrate an idiom.  I chose to do "He lost his head," but then I realized this could also apply to "Don't judge a book by its cover."  I chose to do this image because Mario and Luigi are always a unified team, and I wanted to put a different perspective to Mario's image.  However, I only did that for this shot; I love Mario and Luigi and wish no harm to them in reality.  I also wanted to keep the composition simple, with nothing in the background to distract the viewer from the figures.

Abstract Color

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog!  For this post, I'll be showing a work in progress image for an assignment for using non local color to affect an image's aesthetics.  I went into this project with an open mind and this is what's developed so far.

Here is the original photo that I took while on a trip in Las Vegas.  I loved the coloring and the detail of this picture so I decided to go with it for the assignment.

To recolor it, I wanted to give it a more spiritual quality to it, especially with the horse's wings and the eyes of both figures.  As of now, I'm just playing around with which colors work best to achieve the look and feel that I'm going for.  Brushes may or may not be used later on, but until then I am just changing up the colors by selecting and filling in certain parts of the picture.
