Final Project

So this is my final project for the Graphic Arts class. I didn't really have any references or influences, I just let my brain kind of flow and this is the result. This piece was done in photoshop. I pulled images from different sources and erased and painted over the pictures while combining and layering different textures and patterns. I used the filter gallery to add effects to the picture. The original piece was very bright but the dark looked more dramatic and cool. I applied rule of thirds, keeping the subjects somewhat out of the middle. I like the end result.

Pulp Cover #2

This is the second pulp cover that I did. Hands are holding the moon up to the sky so it does not fall in the ocean, therefore adding a sense of danger to the picture. I used the ocean and galaxy because I really enjoy moons and oceans combined. I edited this photo in Photoshop, using the magic brush tool, filter gallery and eraser tools. The filter gallery added the contrast and pretty details.

Influences for my Pulp Cover

This is an album cover by Crown the Empire that inspired my pulp cover. The album cover has a similar idea to the pulp idea, there is chaos around them but technically the guy is saving the damsel. Another photo that influenced my Pulp cover is a photoshop picture my friend did, I can't put the picture here but basically it was the sun crashing into the moon over a lake. I combined the two ideas kind of and created my Pulp cover all using Photoshop.

Pulp Cover

This is my pulp cover. The original picture was a galaxy background with a tree. I edited the tree out and put the people in the middle. I also put the moon and sun in there. All of this was done in Photoshop. I used the adjustment tools, the filter gallery, and the clone stamp tool, along with the eraser tool. The impending disaster is the sun and moon trying to collide, the hero is the guy and the damsel is the girl.

Art Proposal

The things I plan to do for the rest of the year are work with more paint instead of drawing and paint flowers and different subjects. I might try and do different styles also. Probably going to focus more on Photoshop art also. I enjoy drawing tattoo looking designs and abstract stuff. So those are the things I plan to do for the rest of the year. The picture above is my favorite artist, the graphic artist for Ghost Town, Allister Dippner.

Portrait in a different style

This is just a drawing/painting I did when I was bored. I don't really have a project to use it for, but I wanted to post it anyway. I wanted to make it really contrasty, the original drawing was just black and white.

Art Start: Perfection and Art

"Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything."- Eugene Delacroix

Those who seek perfection will never get it, because art can never truly be perfect and neither can anything else.
