My World

Hmmm My World does not really have much of an intent, I just did it quite randomly when I came accross the two stock images on Deviant Art.com, putting them together it looked really good. In a way it represents that what you see if your whole world and that it is important. It could also be seen as the girl wants to see the world, and that is her hearts wish.

The World is important.

The First Line Opens...

The First Line Opens...

This piece was done purely out of boredom, I started this just before work, and ended up working on it for an hour before work and then three after work. Its just a saying that popped into my head while browsing some poems on the internet, and its supposed to be talking about writing and what a story can do to your imagination. What it sparks in someones mind. Its also supposed to show that the first line is the beginning of a whole story, just that one sentence can be your inspiration.
I like this saying when I came up with it so much I thought incorporating it into a picture would be really cool.

All this stock was from Deviant Art.com.

Free (aka "Lost" changed title)

Okay, so after a couple of weeks I decided to look at "Lost" (read previous post) again, and I think I have worked out most of the problems I had with it. I am still not completely satisfied with it but I will look at it again in a couple of days.

I changed the texture so that its more white, giving it a more spiritual/ghostly feeling, I also think it ties in better with the girl. I replaced the flower with the mask, as I think it gives the picture more meaning.

The mask is supposed to show kind of what I am going through at the moment. The mask gives the meaning to the picture that the girl is free at last in death. In life she was hiding her true self behind a mask. She was pretending to be something she wasnt. But in death she is free and can finally let that mask fall away (which is why it is at her feet.)

I am now thinking of making the girl whiter to match the texture a little bit more, also making the girl just a bit more transparent. Also I think a light shining down onto the girls face I think would look good, and give her a focus point.

Thats all for now

Lost (Picture)

Lost is the first version of the project I am currently working on.
Originally I was trying to represent someone waiting for like a lost person or that the girl was lost herself. I wanted it to show her endlessly wandering the earth. It was originally titled "Wandering"

I changed and experimented with the girl so that she wasn't quite so solid I made her transparent, plus I toned down the coloring so she didn't stand out so much and look so out of place. I put a texture through the picture that I found on Deviant Art.com, to make it seem dreamy and kind of spiritual. While doing this other ideas popped into my head, so I have been trying to change it, just to make it look more ghostly. I placed the flower in because it just did not look quite finished. I am still not satisfied with how it looks at the moment, but I might work on it later on.

First Project.

Well my first piece I have done this year for Digital Art was a set project. I had to create a picture based on me. This exercise was just an introduction to the class. I put in different pictures based on myself; my interests, one of my favorite artists (Mark Ryder), what I like to do in my spare time etc. I did this by just making a room look like a kind of gallery, with a tattoo gun in a frame, and a painting by Mark Ryder in a frame. Along with books and a camera. I also incorporated an eye in as it is my favorite feature on a person.

The room I used for the background I like a lot so I have saved it on my laptop at home and on my USB so that I do not lose it accidentally.

Artist Statement

This year for Digital Art I plan on recreating pictures from mythology and fantasy stories, I want to show how I interpret them in my own mind. My main Idea is to use the Seven Deadly Sins as a subject and Pandoras Box.
I am also interested in Greek mythology like Hades Underworld and would like to do work on the Lost City of Atlantis. I want to be able to create these legends as they have stories behind them, and I am fascinated by it. When people view my work I want them to be able to recognise the legend or myth that I have based my piece on, and be able to remember the story behind it, or at least want to find out what this legend means.
I usually get my inspiration for pieces from reading old legends and poems or just while reading a book, while doing this images just pop into my head sometimes they are ones I really want to work on and they just stick in my mind like a photo other times they are gone immediately. Songs are also a big inspiration to me, especially if they are full of meaning or if the lyrics tell a story. I always listen to music while working as it helps me immensely.
