The Golden Tea Pottress

This is for all the Tea Lovers and other Looneys out there.
Finally, after a few sessions with Photoshop tutorials I've learnt a few usefuls bits an pieces just since end of December. I'm getting slightly addicted to theses tutorials, all this free tips and tricks, yes please!
Have put up some crops of the image so you can see more details, and a small collection of "Mad Hatters" following after. I found taking screenshots during certain processes helps me see what works or not, and also when it gives me ideas for what I can do for later use. I'll also post up some Pre and After (between?) shots too. It sort of reminds me of Looney Tunes, loved those cartoons tho.

"Glazed Eyes"

 "Loosen Up"

 "Merge the Metal"

 "Rusty Red & Golden Drops"

The Mad Hatters:

So This it How the Hats started, i thought it was to hard to work with a straw hat basically, but then made a misson for myself to figure it out this way instead:

Some random foot came floating by and just thought it looked cool.

Close to finished, just need the drops. 

 

I really liked the splash of paint, why didn't I go for this in the end? Oh well, maybe next time, and I'm done arguing with the bloglayout..I'm out!

Falmouth Uni Degree Show

Final Roll

My Illustration Degree show, Falmouth University College, 2010. This character is one of many made for the AOI London Bicycling Competition. I printed out 8 A3 pages with different pieces of this character, and mounted them on foamboard. The hard part was to cut around all the edges, a little bit perfectionist sometimes but it turned out alright. I wish I had printed even bigger pieces of the rest of the work to balance it out, oh well. I also designed a little box he could have on his shoulders to have my business cards on. At the last minute I 'made' the table thing to put my portfolios and a little comment book on.

After making this dude on the bike I really want to see how my work looks when printed big, maybe  I'll find out one day :)

I had to take a picture with all my work arranged and organised for the final assessement. It wasn't too many projects, but a lot of work.. 10-11 projects perhapse.

Anyways, had a lot of fun bringing the Bikedude home, I think he did too..
