Description
BIG SIZE IS BIG!At least moderately.
Alright, it doesn't not really work as a triptych to be honest, because the center piece is the weakest of the three, in my opinion, but I couldn't really find a better name.
Anyway. This is a class assignment, a postcard project. We were given three themes, and three deadlines. What we had to do was make draw an image relating to each theme, onto a postcard, and post it anonymously to our teacher. The whole point was basically that a whole lot of different people would see the work (everyone involved in the post office, people at Uni walking by the postcards mounted on the wall, as well as the people from our own class, etc.) without knowing whose work they were looking at.
I guess that defeats the point of the exposure, but at the same time I really dug the concept, because it was definitely something new for me.
The first theme was Dreams, the second was Confessions, and the third one was Psychological Fears and I guess I did it backwards. I mean I submitted each postcard in the right order, but the actual order of viewing them is the opposite. Just for fun.
The back of the first one (aka the last one in this set) read "never underestimate a child's imagination". The back of the second read "at least 1000 skeletons in my closet, none of which are mine". And the third one will probably read "you can't stop time, the sooner you learn it the better", or something to that effect. The deadline for the third one hasn't arrived yet, but I figured I would make the card now, so I can get back to my other projects sooner.
Also, each of these cards had to have some kind of factor that linked them all together, and as you can probably see, I got multiple (also I was really pressed for time so I was happy to take some shortcuts).
And the character depicted in each card is the Chairman Badfunk, of Satellite Soda.
I think that covers all of the necessary information!
Software: Photoshop CS.
Lastly, I totally plan on making the one with the old Badfunk into a full blown painting. I hope I can find the time.

The super-large view is very, very worth it. So much detail and excellent work. Gotta love the badfunk!

I've always find a strange attraction to your triptych. Had it for wallpaper for a long but couldn't remember where I downloaded. I think now to pay tribute! WOW! LOVE IT!!

Wow, the concept is phenomenal and you pulled off the idea very effectively. I really enjoy the color scheme and would love to have this as a mural in my office/studio. Totally kick ass!

the combination of art nouveau with raw textures works really well! and your choice of colors is fantastic, it perfectly suits the themes of fear and dreams/vision, pretty eerie.
also, did you come up with that font? wow

This is great!
Is there any special way that you made the vector waves coming out of the ears and mouth? Or did you just do each strand one by one?

I drew each line individually. They're not vectors anyway, just regular old lines.

Oh okay.. Well I meant as in vector path, with the pen tool in PS. I tried something similar in my deviation. Here is a link I would be thankful for any tips ! [link]

Well that's the thing, I didn't use the pen tool, I did it with the brush. I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to vectors and I barely ever use the pen tool. Still one of those things I haven't really bothered to get the hang of, although I probably should...

Hey, great job! It's stylish and slightly disturbing. )
I was just wondering where you learned to draw those art nouveau-y swirlies. I'm working on a sketch right now and I wanted to incorporate something like that.

I just googled "art nouveau" and looked at some swirls that previous artists did and then winged it. They're just swirls, really, haha.

always push the limits of your imagination -- and let them see that the mind is ever-expanding to create the impossible -- later days
(do you have any shots of the other people's postcards -- would be interested to see how others created)
