Brief 2 | More progress

Just posting a little bit of progress, so far Andy's doll-self looks like this:


Still needs alot of work, but is starting to take form

Brief 2 | Progress

Have been looking at Photoshop tutorials online, and found one on Worth1000 that I found particularly helpful. This one is about digitally creating hair, which of course is incredibly applicable when trying to create a doll.

Really learnt alot with this one. Has a really realistic finished product too!

Brief 2 | Changing concepts

Due to the lack of quality images, I have decided to change to the Celebrity dolls concept. I believe that this brief will allow for me to play more towards my strengths and learn a little more about precision in Photoshop.

The image that i'm choosing to change is of beautiful Andy Whitfield, a model/actor.

Brief 2 | Visual Fiction

With this brief I found myself torn between several of the themes available on Worth1000.com

I couldn't decide between the 'Mate a movie', 'Out of place' and 'Celebrity dolls' contests.
At the start I chose the Mate a movie concept and was attempting to merge Wall-E with X-files, to create the E-files. Unfortunately due to a lack of being able to source images of a high enough quality to create a passable meld, I made the decision to choose another concept.

I didn't have a problem finding decent sized images of Wall-E, the X-files was a little more difficult however, only managing to find images that were about 600x600pixels, which weren't sufficient enough.

Brief 1|

I had a little trouble getting started off with this unit. Wasn't very happy with my first assignment. Not much to show for this first brief.

I was trying to portray my love for the changing seasons, it is a combination of scanned textures and photographs and digital manipulation.
