The grand digital age

Instead of posting the final images I get a flash drive crash...

Oh well.

Oh I dream to heal your wounds

I'm awfully behind on a lot of things that should be done/being worked on. Thankfully I'm beginning to understand putting things into a calendar. I know that's a concept that has been taught for all twelve years of my basic education and heavily stressed as I entered into college education although now I'm finally grasping this by experiencing myself losing track of things.

Today...

Depression has flooded your veins...

Work in progress. The text that I'll be placing into the image will be...

"Your heart poisons you slowly"

Hoping to smooth out some of the edges, change the background and place the text like cut and paste typewriter words.

It never stops, I always hear you

From an assignment of a building a clay sculpture collectively in class and scanning in textures to fake blood spraying out of the illustration of a brain. Using a source image in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and an outrageous burst of focus, I was able to kick this out mostly in one sitting which ran about four and a half hours long.

I illustrated the brain and added in texture images after touching them with hue changes in Photoshop. I was more interested in actually taking the texture of the item and applying it to an object it would make sense without changing its colors. Getting the blood texture took three tries with spray paint and then waiting until I could get to a scanner.

Overall, there are things I would retouch again such as the blood texture and potentially adding in a background image although with time constraints and the trouble I had of getting a source image to illustrate from, I'm fairly content with it all.
