A Bit of Everything

Yesssss....I know! I really should continue my 3D Studio Max tutorials because I don`t seem ti be making any particular progress outside semniars on this. But, but....I just had an idea and I can`t stand to let it fly away without having a go at it. So, I spent some hours this afternoon doing a collage. I am not sure what for should I use it...it could be a moodboard for next Friday`s Identity seminar...but I`m not sure, because even though it fits some adjectives I came up with while talking to Roma, it doesn`t reflect the sort of visuals I had in mind for the project. Oh, well...I`ll see about this. I could maybe included in the SPP presentation for Tuesday...but that`s just another definite....maybe! Irrespective of whether or not is going to make it into the materials for any of the seminars, I still found it a good exercise for lighting, brushes, burns, layer properties and transparencies, overlays, etc.


The initial idea was to have feel-slates...that is...separate slates with different segments (crops) of the body and face to suggest differing, contradicting emotions and to create a sort of dynamic composition. I don`t know about the dynamic part...though I think the hotspot created by the convergence of objects in the left gives a feel of ....woooosh! to the picture. At the same time, the upper right corner is the `cool spot`: the lifeless eyes and the mocking (cockish) stare together with the colours used develop into an opposite pole (I hope!).

Well...I guess that`s it! I should run to do some tutorials now and maybe a bit of reading...

Mood boards rock. I'll have to check into the 3D art.
