Miniatures

Something I started a while ago and realised I'd never posted online...

I made these by imitating a very shallow depth of field (along with a few other effects). It was inspired by this video:

gottardo nord from fb1 visuals on Vimeo.

I don't think I'm going to invest in any tilt shift equipment, but I'm interesting in trying it out with video using the same digital effects I used for these photos.

None of these photos were taken with this effect in mind so some work better than others. I need to do some research & experimentation, but I thiiink telephoto shots work better than wide ones when it comes to reducing the perceived scale. Or the position of the camera might be more important - shots looking down rather than straight on.

Boom

I just felt like drawing something comic-like. I might change the background later, but today the more realistic fireball I've made here looked better than the cartoony one.

Watch

The next step in convince. Continuing on my implants concept. This one's a rougher concept than the previous one, I'm going to continue working on it to try and get a better integration. Skin is tricky to work with. I just used the watch I wear for this test; the next version will probably be modernsied with a small phone-like LCD screen rather than an old digital display. Or maybe even a good old fashioned clockwork one...

I imagine this would be one of the first, a prototype. Soon designers will start adding the art to these implants, making them designer items. Some may find the permanence unappealing, but others will see this as being akin to tattoos or piercings.

Implants

A concept piece. I kept going over this and over this, improving the details bit by bit to try and get it as photo real as possible, but that process can go on forever so I drew the line here. What do you think?

Morning on Another Planet

I haven't posted here in a while, so here's a little piece I made today. It's kind of an experiment for a technique that could be better used in the future.

The sun and sky were added digitally, and besides the green tint would you believe the rest is a macro photo of a pint of beer?

Wall Paintings

A friend and I were painting a room. Being artists, it wasn't long before this happened:

Well, this one's been Photoshopped a bit. Click HERE to see the original photos!

Energy Drink

I took a photo of water being poured into a glass - because I'm just that cool - and was so interested by the result, I played around with it in Photoshop.

Hot Colour

I'm meant to be working right now. So obviously, I'm mucking about. I took my camera out, took a photo of my hot chocolate, dumped it into Photoshop and out came this. It reminds me of the Bravia advert.

Have we been seen?

A friend and I were at a local coffee shop today, and I snagged a photo of her shadow. She then photographed my shadow in kind. Here's a photoshop merge:
