Second complete concept

This is the first one i started working on but i swept it aside for a mo to work on the one in the previous post. This one i altered some of the colours of some of the aspects and added a little bit of texture to some of it.

First complete concept

Sorry for not posting the stages of progression but this one was a very quickly done one most of it was done in 1 day and some final touch up was just done tonight so here it is:

New project! Enviroment concepts

Second project involves creating concepts of scenes from selected chapters from a selected book.

My selected book is The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

The chapters were Ylla, The Summer Night, and also Interim.

I have read through the chapters and have researched some reference images for the scenes.

These are some of them:

Portrait progress!

Since the interim crit I decided that i shall do the first of the ideas for my portrait.

I decided to change the method of which i was doing portrait due to the fact that it would be easier to actually press my face against something than try to edit a picture to look like i have.

I got my friend to take a picture of me behind some glass pressing my face against it. This was decided due to the fact that the stick my head in the scanner idea kind of didn't work out too well, the image was too dark and not enough of my face was captured.

Image of me against glass:
This image if you see has the reflection of the camera within it. The camera is not what i want in the picture so i decided to use the clone tool in photoshop to remove it.

Then i cut out the outside in order to paste just my face onto a copy of my desktop background. Since my face was a bit to hard on the desktop I made a dissolving outer glow making it look like I'm disintegrating a tiny bit.

Image after editing:
Then I set the picture as my laptop background and took my laptop out into a lit hallway and got my friend to take a picture.

This is an unedited final portrait:PLEASE comment.

Thank you.
