THIS.

Yeah, completed World record Illustration, two days after it was due. This actually looks a LOT better than I thought it would. I kind think the sprays of fizz could have used some work, as well as the mentos packets.

Illustration is cool

This is awesome and you should gaze upon it with those two jelly globes you call eyes IMMEDIATELY.

This is pretty cool, each illustration works in the next one, and it seems to be updated daily.

The glory of the copy/paste function

Managed to avert the crisis and get something done. Kinda different from my comp, but still sticking to the same idea. Just need to fix up some of the coloring on the brown fizz, and show the mentos more.  Im thinking of adding in a packet of two flying up into the air in the background.

Well...Crap.

 So I spent like an hour messing around with Sai to get a nice looking 2 litre bottle of Diet coke to use as a template for my World record illustration. I've now hit that awesome snag were Ive realized that Sai doesn't really have the tools to select the Bottle without any white space, and when I take it into Photoshop it becomes kinda transparent. And there's still a white around it!

ON the other hand, the black background looks cool. I better not have to do this in Photoshop :(

Thoughtcrime does not entail death, thoughtcrime IS death

Sooo, I was actually really excited about coming up with an awesome book cover, cause frankly I love 1984 by George Orwell. If you haven't read it, I would highly recommend it. On the first one I went for a combination of graffiti style type consisting of terms from the book. They culminate into the the Giant 'Obey'  written in a shocking colour reminiscent of blood. I think the Thick type for the title really helped with bringing it all together. I'm going to be creating the actual illustration using a calligraphy pen and some India ink. I'm going to use some Ochre watercolor to get a nice yellow effect on the paper for the background.

For the second comp, I went with a more typewriter/stamp effect, but still using terms from the book. Four letters are picked out to spell 'Obey', but this second attempt definitely didn't come together as well.

Feckin' Birds Again.

Heres the completed LP sized classical composer cover. I choose to do La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) by  Gioachino Rossini. Really, this isn't even finished, at least not properly. Its still got lots of little details that need fixed (The calligraphy pen, Pocket watch, feathers) And some touching up in places. Going to be including this in my final portfolio, but it needs quite a lot of work.

From what I've got here, I was kinda happy with the background, and in general the majority of the Magpie.

Magpies like shiny things.

Okay, So this is my Comp for the classical album cover, which took a while to get approved. At first, I was too sure about some elements (Background, coloring, some minor details) so, didn't get an okay from the author of the blog we all love and worship. So, Went back and fixed up some stuff, figured out a dramatic background (He's flying off into/away from the sunset with his stolen loot) And got an okay ^__^

I think without the bandanna, The magpie looks a lot better.... But damn did I like that thing. If I had a pet bird, it would definitively have a bandanna.... and possibly cape.
