Rather die on my Feet than live on my Knees

Life and Death assignment. I was pretty happy with how this turned out. The comp that I got approval on was one that  was easy to accomplish, with the majority of my color relying on black and white tones. The bomb idea was taken from cartoons and possibly the bo-omb from the maris games (http://www.mariowiki.com/bob-omb) 

Also, from the loony tunes (http://www.google.com/search?q=Acme+Bombs&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1024&bih=867&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=Mq-qTuDBAcijsQLBu7jjDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAQ)

I felt that the Death part could have been resolved better. I mean, I tried, but everything looked worse than what I already had. I feel that the smoke trail looked pretty good though, very subtle.

I'm Half a Cyborg at Heart

This is my Color Comp for the Society of illustrators project. I went for a Human heart that's also Half Metal. Sooooo original, I know. I actually spent more time on this than I meant to, I was enjoying working on my own choice of illustration with Digital Paint. FEELS GOOD.


Looking at the completed Comp, it feels like more is going on with the metal side, More detail/activity. This is something to be corrected with the actual illustration. That big ugly line is the middle will also be removed. I thought I already did take it out, but apparently not... And I'm too tired to do it now. 


Rusty will give me some good advice tomoz, Hopefully.
