Outrun poster

I did this in a Digital Photography for Illustrators class at the Art Institute. It's a composite using FourFourTwo magazine, a stock image of a soccer ball, windmill, and field. At least I think the windmill was separate, because I added a blur effect to it that I didn't add to the field to try and make it recede more into the background. I used the clone stamp to add flying wheat under the ball. I have a version of this that has some text added, in case you ever see it and wonder what happened.

Mario Brothers at the Oscars

This is another Computer Illustration project from the Art Institute. I had to find a date in history that maybe hadn't been that well known, so I picked the first movie ever made from a video game. From that I showed Mario and Luigi receiving the Oscar.

I again worked from a sketch, and did the final work in Illustrator. The curtain was a photo that I added an Illustrator effect too. Nearly crashed the computer, I think. I used references of people crying while giving Oscar speeches to do Mario's pose. I think his was based on Nicole Kidman's picture. The font is based on the letters that spell out "Hollywood" in California. Again, Dafont.com for those.

Metaphorical Self Portrait

This was a fun project. This was another one I did at the Art Institute. Every single object says something about who I am. There's nothing here that doesn't deliberately mean something. That's how I like all my work to be anyway. Nothing just because.

This was all Photoshop and stock images except for the Captain America shields. They're imported vectors.

Photoshop composite inspired by "Inhuman Capabilities"

This is a piece I did after listening to "Inhuman Capabilities" by Mr. Lif and Akrobatik. If you haven't heard the song, lyrically they do what "the average human cannot." For fun, I decided to work on a concept inspired by the song. The song had comic book and fantasy references in it, so I wanted to reflect that type of idea.

I used a photo of a mannequin's hand from sxc.hu. I don't remember where I got the image of the Vitruvian Man on its hand. I combined the two in Photoshop and added blur effects. I think I used some sort of other function in Photoshop's blending options to enhance the effect of the Vitruvian Man, but it's been so long I don't remember.
