ON.BROKEN.WINGS

the three steps show the development, first step line drawing, scanned, second stop basic colours and outlay, third more details etc, fourth final touching ups. I will develop the ideaolgy and look of this and consider it for one of my final images, neato.

• Meaning:

nature meets machine, the basic theory behind this image is that.
science is beginning to "play god"

yea cus too me its like very crude

its meant to be like quite crude cus obvisouly a bird flies anyway

but sciene is taking away its natural elegance

24 hour brief idea, possibly for Revolution in terms of creation?
an encouter perhaps, animal meets machine, will develop.

• UPDATE:
  

the second stage is looking alot better, I stole the eye from a real bird to give it more realism, and fount some smoke jets. I applied the same techniques here, desatured the smoke and lowered the opacity.

• Process so far:

• drew the bird, scanned image and done basic colouring on PS.
• I then added the exhaust to the back of him, doubled the layer and flipped it.
• I then Quick masked another exhaust and just used to top and placed it on side of the bird.
• I then quick masked some smoke and edited the angle and opacity. I played around with the order of the layers.
• I then added the blogs on his wings and again adjusted the layer order.
