Sylvia's Digital Imaging Blog

Finished the final version of my Fantasy Appliance!  I have not changed anything from the last post, I decided to keep the white outlines for some extra contrast.  It turned out good in my opinion, the textures and contrast work well.  If I had more time, I would have liked to add another hummingbird in the process of being caught by this fantasy carnivorous oil-plant.  

  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.  

In this moment of progress, I've added a lot of the elements from my thumbnail sketch.  Basically, I only need to add a background, which will probably be a cloud texture, and work on the colors so that there is more contrast between the vines and the hummingbird/oil container.    

Progress - Colored my flower, it still needs some cleaning up but it is mostly done.  I've begun adding a hummingbird, which will be sipping from the flower-spout.  

I have finished coloring my oil container and have begun adding the other elements.  You can see a flower at the spout of the oil container, I also have a hummingbird image to include.  

  I've begun working on tracing and coloring my oil container in Illustrator.  At the top you can see some experimental brush strokes.  I plan to combine this with a flower that hummingbirds drink nectar from and create a fantasy carnivorous plant.

  An olive oil container of my mother's from her childhood home in Masnou, Spain.  It has been in our house since before I can remember, so I think it will be interesting to try to use it in this project and find a new way to view it.
