6: Sci-fi

Oh. Sorry for the delay. I just finished finals on Friday. I suppose its my turn to choose the theme.

Theme #6: Sci-fi
(Pretty much self explanatory.)
Due date: Since everyone is probably busy during the winter holidays, how about Sunday, January 10th.

note: uh, ill try to work on the last theme, but I can't guarantee I'll post it because I haven't started it due to finals.

5. Diptych

okay, so this entry for SURE needs some work. i originally wanted to paint this with acrylic but i was running out of time so gave it some quick photoshop colors... except for some small areas, i don't think they look that great (the flowers for the girl definitelyyy suck) so i want to try painting them soon. my original plan is to mount them to cardboard backing (covered in cloth) with a hinge in the center so they open up like a portfolio/book/thing.  :D

here's the lineart first so the general idea isn't ruined by my shitty photoshop coloring:

 

 some detail shots for fun:

suggestions? i definitely think the guy could use something extra but i don't know what.. i didn't want to give him any big, poofy flowers though, haha

5. Diptich: And the Return of the Highschool Obsession

So. While I was looking for what I could draw, I found my old obsession again. (i.e. Aki +_+) And this was also my attempt at trying to make photo-like digital painting by using a photo reference. I'm sooo tired right now and I decided I could not do more for the day =_= You will see that there are lot of unfinished parts -_-....

Would It Be Bad to Postpone the Theme?

Hey girls,

So I hate to put this up but I still have like no clue what I'm going to do for this project though I'm oober excited about the theme and I don't want to do some half-heartedly done drawing like I do sometimes. What do you think about pushing the deadline to ... say next Friday? Are your finals over by then?

5. Diptych

Theme: Diptych format with subject matter of choice
Due date: this one's a little weirder, plus there's thanksgiving.. so I'm going to say Dec 2nd, 11:59pm.

A diptych is traditionally a work of art that is displayed/created on two panels (can be wood or other substrate) and connected with a hinge. You guys can construct one, take photos, or draw/paint something, but basically I'd like just two separate pieces of art that would presumably be displayed/viewed side by side, matching in size/shape/proportion, and connected by a sort of theme. The subject matter is up to you guys; you can depict a scene, something with a dual nature, a sequence, whatever. You can even get away with taking one image and split it down the center (as you'll see in example #5 below). It's up to you guys. If you don't have time to make a finished piece by the due date, a concept drawing or plan is fine too. :)

examples:
the first three are pretty traditional but the rest are different, so take your time looking through them :)

Fairytale + Cat = Little Red Ridinghood Kitty

Sorry this is late. I kept thinking the due date was today. (Last week I thought the due date was tuesday too....^^;; my bad)

I wanted an animated film look to it. Hopefully it sorta turned out like it.

(I also wanted to put a big bad wolf in too...but turned out weird looking.)

Great Theme Jinyu. It was fun

4. Fairytale

I had a bunch of ideas for this one regarding popular fairytales (like aladdin!) but none of them really inspired me, so I decided to do my own concept/character design. Mostly I just wanted to go with something princess-like ('cause that's what I think of first when hearing "fairytale," hehe), so I ended up with this ice princess person thing (if you can imagine the picture in white, light blue, and silver).. and her cat advisor.. or something. haha. I like how it turned out but I definitely think I could clean it up and improve upon it a bit. :)
