This is another project I did for the same art class. We could paint anything we wanted given we follow a set of guidelines. The rules were: black and white paint only, must contain at least 6 pretsels, 3 targets same size, 1 checkerd pattern, at least 4 organic shapes same size. This is what I came up with. Let me say, after finishing this at 3 AM the morning it was due, I developed a deep loathing hatred for the checkered board pattern. I know I made a mistake with the perspective on it ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_doh.gif)
, but lets all just pretend I did it on purpose for that drug induced altered twisted dimentional effect, OK? ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_yes.gif)
OK. Made with pencil, lots and lots of tape, a ruler, even more tape, and acrylic paint on a 15in X 20in illustration board.

This is very neat, and I especially like the targets in the middle; they feel very dreamy and fantasy like. Very cool!|

 BamboozledByAnimeTotal Posts: 389Aug 3, 2005 7:03 amHm, this is an insane project to have done >_< I'm glad I didn't have art teachers that harsh lol. The checkered pattern looks fine to me, it can be hard to do vanishing points sometimes, especially when they are checkered like that O.o. Luckily you have the 3 targets in the middle, which automatically drive your eye toward them, so the eye doesn't wander elsewheres lol. And the organic shapes you have upon the wall, remind me of metallic cookie cutters --- "Any goal worth achieving, is never easy" ~Charlone Claudius; Growlanser Generations~ |

EvilBunnySlippers (Reply)Total Posts: 554Aug 3, 2005 4:03 pmYou know what...during the critique at my school many people said the organic shapes reminded them of either cookie cutters or gingerbread men too! They also said the 3 targets looked like 3 saw blades comming at them, ha ha. Thank you BamboozledByAnime! --- The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. -EBS |

EvilBunnySlippers (Reply)Total Posts: 554Aug 3, 2005 4:07 pmYeah, I originally wanted it to be a flat checkered board going off into the distance but instead of making the squares on the sides look farther away, I made them squashed and stretched out...although now that I look at it I kind of like it this way, it kind of looks like the dimention is stretching or something, ha ha.

 Stealth NerdTotal Posts: 1266Aug 3, 2005 10:09 amWow! Once again, you've shown your mastery of layout and design! The things I see in my head don't look half this cool even when they're still in my head, lol ^_^ --- *Legend of Zelda makes me not die* |

EvilBunnySlippers (Reply)Total Posts: 554Aug 3, 2005 4:17 pmI did so many little doodles and drawings before I finally settled on this design. I have a hard time visualizing things in my head before I draw it so whenever I start drawing something I have to work it out on paper before I know what its going to look like. On this one, after I doodled it, I did a quick version of it using MS paint and the fill in tool so I could actually see how it would look before I painted it. Man, it was so much easier in paint with that virtual paint bucket and the edit undo button, haha! I wish life came equipt with an edit undo button, lol.

I can really see how it would drive you bonkers. But still, it's very spiffy work. I like the trippy effect to it, whether intentional or not. ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_thumbsup.gif)

 DeltaTotal Posts: 19Dec 19, 2006 5:26 pmThat's...freakin' awesome. I like the contrasting angles. The bottom is stated and formal, standout-ish against the targets, and the background is disoriented and skewed. Nice. --- --Creativity is the presence of originality. My quote, my mantra.

EvilBunnySlippers (Reply)Total Posts: 554Dec 19, 2006 11:54 pmI know what you mean about the bluriness. Actually what happened is I totally messed up on the perspective with the checkerd board, but I didn't realize it until it was too late to fix since I had a deadline --- The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. -EBS |
