InsideOutside

I really enjoyed this project. This is definitely not the first time I have transformed a friend of mine into a robot, but it certainly is among my best works. I used a picture of the Terminator for the upper torso/head, and a car engine for the abdomen. The Terminator fit perfectly under the model, and I used a layer mask to erase away his skin, revealing the mechanical aspects of the picture. I took a while with this one, but I'm very pleased with the results, despite how terrifying it is...

For some reason, I really enjoy this piece of artwork. The title of the work is H's Family, constructed by Beijing artist Liu Xiaodong. It's a painting of Muslim relatives gathered in their family cafe. In all likelihood, it is the style of the painting, mixed with the colorful composition that really stands out to me. It's not surreal, but it's definitely not hyper-realistic. I find that balance aesthetically pleasing, and would definitely recommend checking out his other paintings.

Although it took me a really long time to come up with the idea, I enjoyed this project a lot. Honestly, the hardest part was thinking of the idea. Besides that, the project was pretty easy/a lot of fun. I would definitely consider doing another project similar to this in my free time. There's not much more I can say about the comic... I downloaded the fonts from a tutorial I had browsed through about making comics in photoshop. I'm content with the final product.
