Lava Characters
In Class we were given the task of adding lava into the cracks of a clay rock monster image. to do this we learn various techniques using contrast between light and dark, image adjustments and styles. for my rock monster I first deleted the background and added a black one instead I changed the contrast of the image and then began adding in yellow to the cracks that were biggest in the clay model (Using a hard edge brush). When I was happy I then added in the style that our teacher had already created and then added in a background and changed the contrast again. I also added in a lava image to the mouth and lava dripping from its hand but I think looking at it now I prefer the black background as it looks to busy with a cave background.
For our homework we were assigned to create our own lava based monster. I started by looking at reference images and made a mood board I then sketched out three ideas and chose my final idea to paint in Photoshop. I chose to do a fiery female lava demon, Starting with the tornado I blended colours together to look as fiery as possible I then drew my figure outline from a scan of the drawing and coloured that adding shadows and using the style from before to add in lava. Finally I cut out my character and added in a background that suited the picture better than my classwork.
