Piano

This is a little experiment I did a little while back. I did it just to familiarize myself with illustrator. I took a photo off the internet and put it as a an illustrator image. It was pretty fun but nothing to go crazy about.

Self Portrait

This is an illustrator version of myself. I did use photoshop to cut off the extra of the picture this self portrait was based on. I was trying to create a feeling of being squished but I think it fell short. It took me forever to got the background but I don't think that it helped making you feel squished but instead irritated which is better than nothing. I did the portrait in Art Deco style which I think I did a pretty good job on. I wasn't truely inspired by anyone, I just started thinking of how I could use the requirements to my advantage. The square frame made my think squished, and the Art Deco came from having to do a painting version, and the hard man made curves of Art Deco on the computer would have good contrast with the natural curves of Art Noeuvou that will be my painting. As a pair, I think they will go well together.

Illustrator Bamboo

This is a picture of bamboo that I made in illustrator. I used the brush tool to make each stock. The numbs on each joint were made by a brush already there, and the stocks itself I made by placing many different brushs on top of each other with some transparency. The leaves were also a brush tweacked slightly. I think it's pretty cool.

My Avatar

This is an Avatar of myself. I made it using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and zoomed it in to get every detail. We didn't use anti-aliasing(blurring the edges) to blend it automatically and we had to do it manually. I made two practices that are my entire body because I misinterpreted the instructions.I put myself in Samus's Armour because she is my favorite character. I also placed Samus's helmet on me. I think that I should fix it up a bit. Anyway, you can expect more of these because it's easy and it actually looks good.
