Now for the artwork...
My second 3-D project, build something historically worn on the head- hybrid it with a living thing, and build it out of nothing but paper products.
It's a hyena mask- inspired by the Bijigante masks- which were inspired by African masks.
I picked a hyena becuase the Bijigante's were creepy colorful monsters, and hyenas are known for being tricksters and there grins/laughs so... A HYENA!
Top view.
Our first project was to build a tower with a base within 6 inches by 6 inches and not taller or shorter than 18 inches...OUT OF PASTA.
I shit you not. Hot glue and pasta.
I did it, it wasn't preaty.
Side veiw.
Front veiw...see his dreads?
I scanned a rabbit pelt fiddled with it in photoshop and printed it out on bristol for the texture.
ME! In the mask- we had to were it for the critique. I got a 95 on it. My highest grade in the class for me.
Huh...have I ever posted a picture of me here before? I don't think so... so there you go... c'est moi.
Check out my roomies Absinth poster!
Third project...the maquette. We had to build a maquette from a 2-D character drawing out of super sculpy that was between 8 inches and 16 inches tall.
I hate his face. ( I didn't have time to do a good paint job)..and the flash makes him look even worse.
He's a Demon nammed Woe...err..this all makes sence in my head. I'll just build another one and explain him later.
The back looks the best... I overdid the glazes on his body though.
I would have kicked ass at this project..if it weren't for the fact that I HAVE NO OVEN.
( not even a microwave!) And the over he brough was 6" WTF.
I've no experience building anything in 2 parts... the structural logistics boggled me.
and thus..I got an 80. Lowest grade in the class.
Project four
The reliquary case- We had to analyze an artist's style and build reliquary case in there "style". Reliquary case is defined loosley- anything that can hold the relic.
Work in Progress shot here.
I choose Kazu Kibuishi
Veiw of the city.
Shitty picture of the top part- it's blue and has clouds and paper birds on wire.
I tried to emulate the style of Copper by useing cutouts and staggering them to make it a 3-D scuplture. His comic pages are also set in a different place each page so I changed the setting depending on where you move the "me".
City again.
The "me" is the relic- it's tapped to a case of .5mm lead. Which made sence in my head.
I also screwed up in building it so it doesn't move around like I wanted it too. Oh well.
Forest veiw ( my favorite side)
I am not a photographer. I got an 88 on this. I screwed up the presentation. I hadn't slept the night before and It was 8 o'clock in the morning.
I also used up an entire 5 fluid ounce tube of white acrylic paint on this project.
Beach veiw. My least favorite. Everyone has one of those sides.
And now for color theory!
I hated that class. Most of it was painting squares. I kid you not- I must have painted over a hundred squares for the class!
This project was to match the colors in the picture with color aid paper. I had to cut the color aid out with an ex-acto knife. I suck with an ex-acto knife. Not a fun project.
Square 1- grayscale matching
Square 2- monocromatic color matching
Square 3- duplicating the exact colors
Square 4- complementary tone matching
Prelinary sketch for project 2. The final product was done in illustrator.
Another preliminary sketch. It's the same character from my AP folio'.
Project 3 ( becuase I can't get project 2 to upload!)
Optical mixing in markers. WIP shot
WIP shot 2
I used a 24 pack of dying prisma markers and a photo ref. I did the sketch to fast so the proportions are all wrong
My final project, It was open end so long as you chose 2 things from a list to demonstrate.
This one is analogus colors.
Obviously I did a character sheet.
This one is complementary.
I can't get the final peices for my 2nd color theory project to upload.
And I still have to scan a ton of sketchbook pages for yous.
