Digital media LO2 development part 3
Just a continuation of the previous development process for my digital media project.
Here I chose a background image of a ruined interior made using glue and acrylics on an apron surface which then has the portrait layered on top.
from the layers list i chose the ‘difference’ option and the result came back quite futuristic as the furniture has morphed into the portraits facial features seems almost robotic. The shading is quite dark but are still able to have the number of colours stand out.
also from the layers list i chose ‘colour burn’. This unfortunately was not so successful; the furniture has morphed into portrait and shaped it well but to another viewers eye they would not be able to make out that there are additional objects surrounding the image.
For the next images to be shown below I decided to only manipulated the furniture. Not part of the original subject matter but there is nothing wrong with a little experimentation I suppose: -
this has been transformed using the gradient map tool with a blue and yellow tint. It helps make the image more abstract and the yellow is quite overpowering therefore stands to attention.
taken from the filter gallery ‘graphic pen’ tool taken from the sketch options. I really like the old style red colouring the graphic pen tool created and the detail of the burnt furniture has helped to give a rustic feel to this.
Once all of my developments have been uploaded I shall revisit the works I made and develop them further if i feel i could improve them more.
My previous work to use within the digital media project
Here are the chosen pieces of my own art work to use within the digital media project. As my project is on portraiture there is a selection of my painted and sketched portraits (faces and nudes) with the backgrounds to be around other works displayed below.
To followers you will have seen a large amount of these images before but i have uploaded them again as well as some new additions so you can view an initial preview of what to expect next
Another addition to the digital media inspiration front
Whilst searching through other WordPress blogs i cam across an artist with similar manipulation ideas as myself. He is called Pavel Rehurek (the link to his blog http://rehurek.com/blog/)
Summer Games
I love how this is still portrayed around portraiture but based on the dancers and how their costumes are mixing with the colour palette of their surroundings.
Spring Flashback
now this image is definitely the kind of manipulated fine art digital piece that i am hoping to achieve for this project. You can still clearly see that their is a portrait of a lady there smothered by whats seems to be printed textiles which look as though they have been filtered with the ‘cutout’ tool.
Library People
this image Rehurek has created is fantastically camouflaged and really gets your brain thinking as to whether is that a man standing there? do i see a backpack? It really tests the viewers mind.
Bridge in Stanley Park
this piece has a feel of Fauvism to it and is very eye-catching with it’s bold and bright palette. The image is slightly abstract as well and i am unable to make out whether they are cars or a reflection in the far left hand corner.
his work is astonishing and if you look through his portfolio you can clearly see that his talents lay in many areas
