Mesh Project 2

Playing the Reigns

Medium: Photoshop

Inspired by: The Last Song and Spirit (Movies)

When I saw the picture of this horse I immediately thought of energy and passion.  The position that the horse is in reminded me of a piano player with perfect posture.  This idea lead to another and memories of the movie The Last Song ("When I Look at You" by Miley Cyrus) flooded through my head.  I found a piano like Veronica (Roni a.k.a. Miley Cyrus) was playing on the beach.  This image brings back child hood memories and has an energy that was not present at the start.

I did use the obvious element of water in this piece but only to add flow.  My main to elements are a piano and a horse.  I used the water splashes to fix any awkward cuts and edges.  The colors in this piece work with the message of the piece.  The horses symbolizes a strong love for music and it's upright position shows the ideal posture of a piano player.

Mesh Project 1

Key to My Heart

Medium: Photoshop

I have always found weddings beautiful and elegant.  I like to believe that a marriage lasts forever and unlocks the door to a beautiful life. Every girls dream of love right?

In this piece I took a challenge of creating the obvious.  A groom holds the key to the brides heart at a wedding and portraying that was a challenge because everyone has their own idea of how the symbolism should look.  I used the warp and eraser tools to make the lock and key look real and clean cut.  This piece is not my favorite so I went on the create to more Mesh projects.  The color and unity works for the most part but still lacks in flow.  Next time I will choose a better image or a idea that is less personal to every ones ideas.  It is hard to create a piece knowing that your audience has a view of their own.

Monkblapord (Monkey/Black Leopard)

Medium: Photoshop

When I was searching for animals to combine, I came across a black leopard in a tree.  I instantly thought of a gorilla climbing the tree and how the black leopard and a monkey had a common talent.  By using the stamp tools and a combination of erasers and burn/dodge tools, I have created a Monkblapord.  This rare breed of a monkey and a cat would be at the top of the food chain because of its speed and ability to get out of danger.
