UPDATE: ‘Chariot of Fire’ and ‘Cyborg Dreams’

 

Hey people,

It’s been a while since I have updated this but I have been very busy lately with school stuff and working etc.

The 2 pictures above are my latest works. The first picture is entitled ‘Chariot of Fire’. The inspiration to create this picture came about believe it or not by Pokemon. I saw on deviantart a picture of a ‘real life’ pikachu and it gave me the idea that most of the Pokemon are based upon real animals and that is certainly the case with Ponyta which is what I based my picture on. The was an experiment to see how i could manipulate fire to make it look real in the daytime. I think that the picture looks reasonably like a ‘real life’ versionof the Pokemon Ponyta.

The second picture is called ‘Cyborg Dreams’. This picture was more based on some feelings that I have had recently and wanted to visualise them graphically. It represents our desire to reach the top of where or what we want to be but not being able to. If only we had that ‘extendable arm’ to reach our goals and ambitions then we would all acheive what we want. This picture was also an experiment to see if i could make a realistic picture from an un-realistic concept per se. I spent most of the time creating the arm area as well as creating the shadows which i found to be particularly hard. I am quite happy with the end result because I was nearly about to give up on it but I gave it another go and I found my way through the problem resulting in the end picture.

I possibly might be making some more pictures along this line but I’ll have to see how time goes

Hope you like the pictures!!!
