Evolution Chain

Whoops almost forgot this one ^.^;;;

This one is a painting of the two Pokemon™ Zorua and Zoroark. I tried doing a pointillism painting with Q-tips™ as a brush to make the dots. Except for in the upper left corner where i was a little bored and experimented with my fingers, over all i think it turned out pretty good, if I were to change anything though it would have to be the color of the backdrop because a few of the colors meld with the black and that isn't good. It was a fun project though, took a bit of time.

The Ideas

Many of my ideas came from my memory and then were followed up onto Google Images to help me find the picture to go off of and paint with. Several of my ideas were influenced by my history with the Pokemon™ games. Except for the lyrics painting, and the Unicorn vs Narwhal one. The lyrics painting I came up with since I love the band My Chemical Romance. So I suppose i should thank them for their music. The unicorn one is just straight from my own mind, but i referenced pictures from Google. WOOOOOO GO ART!

Artist Reflection

The things that i have learned throughout the year are things like; I like to paint, I want to take advanced art next year. Which I think it is actually already on my schedule, but anyways back to my reflection.

xD

My favorite projects were definitely my two 8-bit characters I created on the big canvases. They really brought me back to some memories of my childhood, of when I first started to play Pokemon™.

The project that i found most fun to do was the Unicorn vs Narwhal. Seeing how many people probably were thinking "What is he doing?" when I first started making it it was fun to do and made me laugh a few times during 'cause i too asked myself what i was doing. I feel that it shows my random personality within the art.

I noticed earlier today that all of my projects this semester were paintings and only consisted of acrylic paints, so I guess I'm glad that I could stick with one technique throughout the year. Although I wish I could have had ideas when i needed them and not at a later time, like I know a few of them were. Though, most of all of my ideas consisted of something that I enjoy. None of them were just something to get a passing grade.

If I ever have the time and money after high school, as long as I have the supplies I will probably start painting of drawing, because art itself is my passion. THANKS FOR THIS YEAR MRS. COMER. I HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AS A SENIOR!

"Unicorn vs Narwhal" Painting or "Fantasy vs Reality"

Well here it is, I just wanna say I've been running on last minute ideas and never really had an idea in mind for my next art project its always been, as i go, thus the result, a Unicorn fighting a Narwhal. Rainbow backdrop, horns crossing, a wave, cliff edge, what more could you ask for? :D

"Kill All Your Friends" Lyrics Painting

This is my painting of lyrics from the song by My Chemical Romance "Kill All Your Friends"
Three colors went into this painting obviously, they were Red, White, and Black.
Black: This color was mainly used as the back drop.
White: Lyrics, that in the song I thought Gerard Way, The Lead Singer, Emphasized in his singing in a normal manner.
Red: Lyrics, that were in the song that Gerard Emphasized greater than the ones in white, at least in my opinion of hearing them played in my head over and over.(Seeing how I like the song i just listened to it over and over instead of looking up lyrics, this also helped with the color coding process)
The three colors combined are the main colors that I used to recognize them as a band, Symbols could have been used but alot of people wouldn't understand it except me and other fans of the band....maybe xD

Alright so some of you may be asking what exactly this is, and well this would be a little sort of an idea I've been tinkering with for the past few weeks. It's basically a comic idea that i planned on doing. It is About these three friends, and well as you might be able to tell, there is the Bad friend, the Good friend, and of course as always, the one who is always stuck in the middle. there is no real plot to this picture just a bunch of random compiled into one. I made this on the mac in the Paintbrush application which i must say is quite fun to tinker around with, believe it or not this took me about an hour once i decided to take out the color and once i figured out that it would take too long to have an actual plot line, thus is why things are random. :D

8-bit Green

This is my second Painting, a little less perfected and I honestly don't understand why. I still used 1"x1" Squares and tape to help from the colors meshing but still some of the colors leaked. Anyways this is the Character "Green" from the Pokemon series, many of you may know him as Gary. He would be the first rival in the game series. Now for the Naming of these two people. (Pokemon History Lesson) The two characters, that is Red and Green, are honestly named because the first two Pokemon games out were Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green Versions, in Japan that is. That is why in the manga there is a mini dispute between Whether the character is named Blue or Green. This is because in America we took Green version and made it Blue Version so that the first two versions for us were Red and Blue. Now back to the painting. I do enjoy how it turned out and the fact that it still looks like the original 8-bit character. It was fun to work on and i plan to do another thing similar.

8-Bit Red

This is my painting of the character Red from the Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions. He is who you play as in the very beginning, the start of it all the first "Hero" in the Video Game realm of Pokemon. Reigning from Pallet Town Along with the starter of your choice, unless you played Yellow version then you were forced to take Pikachu, but later on could get all the original starters. In this Painting i attempted to make it look as much like the original 8-bit character as possible, so i made 1"x1" squares and some tape to make the lines straight as possible and to keep pain from mixing on the canvas, it took some time but turned out quite well and i had fun doing it. :D

Passion Within Art

My passion within art would have to be, the feeling you get when creating your own art, and the feeling when you finish that project and it turns out like/better than you expected. Many of you should know what I'm talking about and possibly would agree. At least this it what my passion would be, but as many of you know there is a type of mood you need to be in to put your best into your art, this has been a problem for me over a course of a couple of years but hopefully the advanced art class that i am in right now will help me out with this problem. Considering the fact that we are given the choice on the project we wanna do, as long as it is completed by the due date. Which is fine by me and so far has been working out perfectly. :D
