Etruscan Temple

 For this assignment I wanted to explore the Etruscan style of art, since I previously knew nothing about the Etruscans. The Etruscan equivalent of Poseidon is Nethuns. I decided to do a submerged ruin of a temple to Nethuns.

Expressionism Inspired by Music

Image
 My results from this exercise were very interesting. Despite the fact that I listen to a wide variety of music I am very particular about the music that I like. Due to my Hyperacusis some sounds that are normal for other people are physically painful for me. This was reflected in the third piece, which was based upon a Jazz song. The calm sounds of the music was cut across sharply by the painful sound of a trumpet, which is almost always a painful instrument for me to listen to. The first song is one of heavy drumbeats and brass that will be forever associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey   The second was classical, with a strong main theme. This was the Jazz piece. The next song was a very soothing classical piece. This last was a Funeral March by Wagner. I did not not know it was called that at the time I painted it, but the sombre background was the first impression I got from the song.

Digital Painting of Grogu from The Mandalorian

I am now about to start my third semester at the Illustration and Concept Art Program at Algonquin College and I can see how far my skills have progressed with this new painting. .

  This scene from one level of a side scroller game will be put into a program in a later semester. It will be very fun to see this fully implemented. The Game Premise This game is about the challenges of being an artist.    After roughing out ideas for three different levels, this is the environment that was further developed for this assignment. It is based around the fear and doubt that an artist has to constantly work through and conquer.         The key to conquering those fears is to keep producing art, so that is how the artist overcomes the challenges. She throws paint at blank canvases and creatures.   When she paints an inactive canvas, it is activated, and can then be used to overcome obstacles by riding on it as it moves or to duck under or behind it as she encounters obstacles.              The villain of the game is an art critic, who throws thick black globs of criticism at the artist. The Obstac...
