So I'm going to try to post a small before and after shot, so that the world knows why it took me three hours to make this image. But not right now.
This actually isnt the final product of this picture. I have a completely different idea, but I like the way this worked out, and I spent a while making it. So here it is.

12.05.08 Japantastic

Here's a couple of my recent works. That I haven't posted, but deserve a post. They're both digital artpieces. And I decided to call this entry Japantastic because both of them have very Japanese animation themes.

 
Inspired by DragonballZ
My own destructive nature scares me.

Inspired by Akira
This one has an interesting story about it. The background you see in this picture is actually the olympic stadium in Tokyo. I decided to take this picture there, and add the digital effects to it later. If you are familiar with Akira you know this is where the final battle between Tetsuo and Kaneda occurs. Here I am playing the role of Tetsuo.

Here is a before picture. The crazy hair, and tank top are all part of the theme.

Finally an HDR shot of Tokyo from the gardens in front of the emporer's palace.

Aaron is a graphic designer major who has recently been published in a few magazines. He has some really cool techniques that I'm hoping will help me fine tune alot of my designs. I often find myself getting frustrated that I'm not able to accomplish exactly what I see in my head. I used to have this same frustration back when I used to only draw. Then I became a photographer and found that I could always create what I wanted cause I shot what I saw. Now however as I've taken the next step and become a graphic designer I don't always get the resutls I want. So this is going to be an amazing opportunity for me. Needless to say I'm really jazzed.

A little more about ARF. As far as I can tell here's how the story goes. Two people, Aaron and Rosie. Aaron being a graphic artist, and Rosie being a photographer. Aaron lives in the states, and Rosie in Europe. Well they met through flickr and from there actually started a relationship. Now they're madly in love, and their story has even been published in other magazines (not the ones where Aarons works where published).

Aaron also taught Rosie some techniques and now her photographers are just as popular as Aaron's, but their art styles are completely different. They are two of the most popular flickr users, and are rising to digital stardom.

So as I said before, I'm really really excited that I get to study under Aaron. And I can't wait to see what I learn, and what I make next.
