Stickers and Character Designs

For Digital Media we are beginning character designs. Here are some silhouettes of ROBOPANDA and ZOMBIE DINOSAUR!!

Just sillyness but good to get started! Also ordered some stickers from MooCards. Not sure about the bleeds and cropping, but its super fun to try!! Made some mini stickers- 90 for $10!! plus $7.50 discount ;) Here are some of my idea's

Plus a few more that wouldnt load. So exciting!! they should come after the first so I'll post picts when there here!!!

Photoshopping a Tattoo

Hello! Once again it is that time, to post what we are doing in digital media! This week we were to design ourselves a tattoo and then color it and photoshop it onto a photo of ourselves and/or a celebrity of the same skin color as us (really?? What if I wanted to tattoo Hallie Berry's face?). We were to design them without black fill in's first, them color them in class. Anywho, here are the concepts I came up with at home:

The class hated them all, said they all failed as a tattoo design, and I was to create something more complicated. So here are what I did during the teachers long winded speech:

The two dueling dino's are a super important fossil find of the violent world of dinosaurs. Its a Veloceraptor and Protoceratops in an epic battle, where the protoceratops crushed the raptors chest cavity, and the raptor sliced the cera to pieces. I also did the T-rex, and had a good idea for color for him so thats the one I went with:

Rawr! After a fun color job, I got to select a model.... Hmmmm.... I always wanted to look like Zooey Deschanel! So guess who got Tattoo'd.

Comments? Tips? Save me from another full blown public shaming!
