My most successful computer art project

I think my most successful project was the project "Frame Yourself". It was a Photoshop picture project where we created a photo with us interacting with a cartoon character. I think it was one my favorite types of projects because we got to be creative and we had about a week to do it, which gave me a lot of time to add minor details and finalize my photo. I think this work is successful because I was able to shade all the Pokemon in it and I was playing with all the tool, trying to figure out how to use them. I will definitely use the techniques I used for this project in my future projects. I would like to do more projects where it requires you to draw and animate pictures as well as projects where you make pictures. I'd like to do less of projects where we change the persons appearance and or physique.

Hamtaro Humans

For The Barbie Project I decided to model some celebrities to look like a character from the old cartoon called Hamtaro. I turned their hair into ears ears and changed their hair color to match the character they were posing as. This project required a lot of layers, for me. I had the constant fear of messing it up after my first attempt at this project automatically saved over a blank file. I'm pretty content with how this came out, since I had to edit colors and make minor touches to small things because I wanted them to look more like the caracter they were portraying.

I sculpted a cartoon style cat on the 123D sculpt app. As far as the app use was concerned it was fairly decent. I found it difficult to use some of the tools. After trying to pull or push a piece more than a couple times It started to look weird and sometimes glitched through another part of the clay. To try and subdue that effect, I had tried the smooth tool, but didn't have much luck. It only returned the jagged mess to its original state. We could definitely use this app for future projects such as if we were trying to recreate figures. it will help us understand the form it is in and how to use different tools to create what we want. All in all, I really had a ton of fun using this app, not only because I love working with clay materials, but also because I got to learn how to use a new app that may be useful in the future.

My Trotting Creature~

I think this is a pretty successful work of animation that I created. I got the leg movements to work well together and even added some movement and ear flapping in the upper body for a more realistic touch. Although it was a great project it had its flaws. This project worked best for me when it was put into Photoshop because it was easy to fix the smaller things I didn't catch when I first took the pictures. What didn't work so well was trying to take pictures because I had too many small pieces and my creature itself could have been a tad bigger. If I were to do this project over again, I probably would try to keep a consistant lighting, even though it wasn't easy to do with people walking past me most of the time. The most frustrating part of this project, for me, was carefully moving each piece. My creature was split into so many parts that when I moved one, my entire creature shifted in some way and I was forced to spend five minutes putting it back in place. From this piece I learned, that the little things count as much as the bigger things, which is important to remember when working on animating things, otherwise it turns out with gaps and holes in the motion.

Just look at his face~

 

So, I began my trek through the world of animation by cutting out my "pun-tastic" Yellow Hammer and moving it to a new layer, and filling the background up so it looked like I never cut anything out. Then I made multiple copies of the Yellow Hammer, each to their own position and composed frames of them. When put in order and changed slightly for every frame, I was able to create a short animation. I had never used layers on a picture to create an animation before, so it was fun to finally learn. I was given a multitude of different tools to use and it challenged me to think of layer differently than I have before.in order to add something extra, I made the Yellow Hammer hitting a piece of metal sticking from the ground and when he hit it in he  smiled happily. Instead of it staying down though the metal pops up suddenly and the bird becomes surprised and begins to hit it again.

Fluffy Piano

For the Mesh Project, I stayed away from obvious inanimate objects. I decided to use something that reflects music in it as well, since I love music. My cut and pastes are good on the fur and fluffier parts of the animal, but the hoovees were tricky since most were covered up by grass and I couldn't get them to look like the actual hoof, but I cut most straight an the bottom though so It would look more natural, as if the fluffiness covered the hooves. To make it look like the farm critters came from the piano keys I made the sheep and goats long to match the shape of the keys and made some of the keys have the same texture as the them. I also made added some sheep with black and brown spots to make it look like they came from the black keys. I decided to do these two objects because I thought it would be cute to make the piano keys form cute animals and considering that you don't see sheep and pianos together it would be an intresting sight to observe. Since black and White are strong contrast colors anyway I thought it would work well with sheep colorwise, that way I wouldn't have to change the color of the animal to match the piano.

I decided to use a Sheep/Goat and a Piano for Mesh project. I think It will look cool to combine them since no one thinks of seeing those to objects close to each other nor it forming into that object. It will give me a chance to use new tools to make it seem less and will let me be able to experiment with different types of patterns and colors.

DeerFox

For my newanimal, I combined a Fennec Fox and a fawn. To try to flawlessly combine their features I added the foxes eye and its ears to the head of the deer and blended the colors of them together so that they looked natural and didn't have jagged spots or edges. To get a lighter colored back, which would maintain the fawns spots while being the color of the fox, I took some of the Fennec Foxes fur and added a layer of it over the deers back, then smudged, blurred and erased some of it until I was happy with my result. I added the foxes tail to the deer to continue the look of the Fennec and had to erase a  part of the tail to make it seem like it had fallen in between the deers legs.

Swimming with the Pokemon!

     I decided to create my cartoon photo to look like the view underwater with Pokemon. In order to add myself in it I erased the background of the picture I took and moved it into the ocean scene. I used the magic tool to get rid of the white space surrounding the Pokemon characters so they would fitin the picture nicely.  Also in this picture, to make it look like I am actually riding the dragonair I put myself on top of it and erased the part of me that were covering the Dragonair, so that it actually looked like I was behind it. I overlapped some of the pokemon and made some smaller to make it look like the oean is much deeper in the back than the picture can show. I used the burn tool to add "shading" to every Pokemon in the ocean, because I wanted to make them look far away and darker if they were farther away from the water's surface. In order to get the perfect position I sat on the railing when taking the picture so I could easily make myself sit on the dragonair. The image shows a higher level of interaction because I was able to make  it look like I'm holding my breathe and floating smoothly through the water on a Dragonair.

Frog Tongue

My frog tongue I have a couple, but I really just like the colors on this frog. :3
