Accessory Interaction.

Here's some new Lifestyles work... the assignment was to take print ads of a designer fashion product from magazines and incorporate them (collage style) into a one and two page spread illustration that is fantasy based. I found ads for the Bulova Precisionist watch, a Vhernier ring, and a handful of Ralph Lauren rings and incorporated them into an underwater exploration set of pieces where my lovely ladies (wearing a Spring 2010 Maurizio Pecoraro bathing suit and a Spring 2009 Jasmine Di Milo bathing suit respectively) interact with the objects. It was a very new experience as I had never done a photo collage in this sort of way before but I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. Spent way too much time on them, though!

Mermaid.

Our final assignment for Drawing From the Tablet with Jose Villarrubia was to do, well, anything. I chose to do a mermaid (surprisingly, it was not influenced at all by my Illustration II assignment in any way shape or form. It still has issues, some of which I'll be working out when I have more time, but I'm happy to see that there is marked improvement in my work when compared to the first Drawing From The Tablet homework I did. I still have another mid-semester piece I will upload later once I give it it's much needed tweaks.
