Fun with brochures

 We were asked to create a brochure for any company, real or imaginary. I decided to go with something comedic. My teacher may die laughing or regret allowing such latitude in the assignment specifications.

Fans of Sir Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series and the Rocky Horror Picture Show should get a kick out of this. Marty Feldman of Young Frankenstein is in there as well.

 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.

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.

It had to be a small nervous dog to match the types of roles he usually plays.   Here is the finished result:

Digital Painting of Grogu from The Mandalorian

Image
 I love the character of Grogu from The Mandalorian, and was disappointed when I could not find a t-shirt of him that I liked at the local Comicon last September. I decided to make my own t-shirt. The first version was OK, but not great. That was before I had any knowledge of digital painting. 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. .
