In this unit we were meant to learn the techniques necessary in to transform an object into a geometric shape through liquification. I was surprised to find how difficult it was to create a 3D frame for reference, and even more surprised to find how much more difficult it was was to then shape the object to the frame. It was a very time consuming process, and much of the object's detail was lost in the liquefying, but it came as a great relief when i realized i could use the patch tool and the original image of the object to return detail to the transformed object. I was very happy with how my final image turned out. As a concept, i love it. As far as realism is concerned however, i may have been able to improve. But it isn't exactly a simple task to make a pitbull with a square head look real.

this is probably the most ambitious "squared"-object attempt i've seen. and you did a phenomenal job. i can't believe the detail you got back with the patch tool. and i saw you drawing those eyes from scratch -- i would've thought those were real if i hadn't seen you make them. really nice.
ReplyDeletei admire the fact that you're more interested in challenging yourself on each assignment than in finishing as quickly as possible, and think that's part of the reason why you've come up with such interesting projects. and, of course, your skill with photoshop is superior. so well done with everything. i'm looking forward to your vector art piece.
an enthusiastic 100
