I think you’ve destroyed this perfectly!! You can still tell what is going on without worrying about copyright, plus, you’ve got a fun variety of iterations!!
Sylvia, these turned out so well! It was really fun getting to see all of your different iterations and how you got there. Your process is very informative of your style. I would have never imaged all of amazing the directions you took! I especially love that you challenged the border of the image. It's hard to think outside of the box as far as page edges go in Photoshop. You really took it to the next level!
Almost finished with my Fantasy Appliance! I am still not convinced that the white outline around the hummingbird and oil container is the best, but I will continue thinking about it and editing it.
This week I was able to get a bunch of my work done on the "statue". I think it turned out pretty good, a little less shapely than my sketch, but that was to be expected when working with hot glue. I made rings of hot glue to stack on each other to build up the statue, and I think this method worked pretty well. Now I have to incorporate digital work into this piece, I have a couple ideas on how to do that. I may take some photos of the piece on a plain background so that I can manipulate it in Adobe, try to make it look more ethereal and less clunky, play with blending layers and such. My other idea was to upload a photo of the statue but keep most of it photo-realistic, and edit in little fragments of a face into the mirror shards.
I started this project by taking pictures of myself about every hour - not the most fun task taking unflattering, head-on photos, but once I started collaging them together it started looking less weird. Here are the first two, these are mostly experimental but I may use them if they work well. The first is 7am and the second is 8am. Also, I have decided that the printed book will be small - 6 x 6 inches.
