Research.

This image is an image that I found off of Google depicting many road signs in britain.

I also researched some funny road signs and I came across a photo on Google that I recreated in photoshop.
I recreated the image because the photo that I found wasn not very clear.

I thought to also research some funny signs, because there may be some humour in the way signs are placed or read in my game. This is something I have not yet decided.

This is a sign that I created in photoshop for my game.
This sign is a directional sign and will be used as a clue.

I did it in this style because I think that it is very natural colours. I blured out the background becaus I wanted to show some depth of field. I think this is effective for close-ups in the game because it helps to focus on the main points. 

This image is a guide to the meaning of the shapes and colours of road signs. This was helpful for me in my reserach of road signs.


Dartmoor Research.





  








  Image found here.

Dartmoor is an area of moorland in south Devon, England. Protected by National Park status, it covers 954 square kilometres.

Parts of Dartmoor have been used as military firing ranges for over 200 years. The public enjoy extensive access rights to Dartmoor (including restricted access to the firing ranges) and it is a popular tourist destination. The organisation responsible for tourism on Dartmoor is the Dartmoor Partnership.

Information found here. 

At 368 square miles (954 sq km) in area Dartmoor is the largest upland in southern Britain. Millions of people visit it each year for its dramatic landscapes, varied habitats and wildlife, and cultural heritage. There are some 17,500 protected archaeological remains dating from the bronze age, through the medieval period right up to a recent industrial past. Dartmoor was designated a National Park in 1951.

Here is a video that I found on YouTube, Portraying the nature of Dartmoor.



These are images I found on the internet based in the Moors being haunted by Piskies.. Which are another name for fairies or pixies.

Line drawing analisis.

Personally this was the best line drawing image that I have seen so far. I like the composition between the line drawing in process using delicate lines and the rendered version. I like the colours used in the rendered version also because that also is a HUGE contrast between the Black paws and the methods used to shade. I thing that water colour works really well with this image because it makes a delicate and dosile effect. This image was found on Google and drawn/ painted by an artist called Roz McQuillan.

I REALLY like this piece. I think that the colours and the style fits the sadistic look on the face depicted. The person has used ink to draw the image and uses tighter scribbles to exagerate the shadows.
This image being as plain as it is still creates an unsettling feeling to it and the way it is styled.  They have just used the shade of black and have thought about the placement of all the scribbles. This piece was done by Daniel-Mathers.

I like the really simplpistic way that this image is done. They haven't used shade nor colourr. But yet they can still depict a really obvious image. And in opinion this image is either depicting people falling out, or people growing apart. Either way that style they have used is very modern and easy to see with the contrasts.




This image was done by an artist called Charles Avery.
I like this piece because it is an amazing play on perspective. I really like this piece because I think that it is clever and somewhat eye-catching. It makes people think since it took me about 20 minutes of looking at it to realise this image was about perspective. This image again is very simplistic with shade and colour also the shape is somewhat simplistic. There is only a sillouette of a person with crazy hair. But this hair could have swirls in it, instead of too much detail the artist just used straight edge lines.





This image was done by Paul McClintock.
This line drawing also is a play on perspective when you seen that the top of the persons head is larger and more bulbus that it should be. Yet his face and body narrows as it gets lower down the image. They have used three Shades for this image, those being, White, Grey and Black.
 The artist has used a combination of lines and dots to fill all of the negative space in this image, I see that the use of dots are more so to shade though.                









This image was done by Ultima Thule.
This image uses a technique called spot colouring which is commonly found in photos.
I think this makes the style of this image more Pop styled.  This image uses the descreat use of colour effectively. I like how the black and white image s styled to kinda look a little like traditional drawing yet the Lime is more Vector sorta images. The combination of the two brings out this modern taste to the image.

Artists experiments.

This is an image that I made using the experimentation of cubism.
I made it in flash using the photo I originally had as reference.
I didn't add any round lines like the typical cubist image and I made the perspectives flat.
Possitive- I think I like the surreal effect in what I did in this image. And I like the emphasis on the shadows.
Negative- I think maybe I shoud have put more ime into this picture and maybe did it in traditional art to make it more original.








This is now an image that i have done using the style of Pop art based on the reserach that I have done on Andy Warhols work.
I got the original image and changed the Hue. Then I duplicated it and changed the Hue again. And then did that over and over until I got image that I have now. I also lowered the saturation a little on the image so that it will look some what of the same colours as the one that I researched.
Possitive- I like that the colours worked so well and feel I will use this technique again some time soon.
Negative. I think that maybe I should have chosen another picture as I have used the same in another example. 








This is the collage technique that I tried out. I was making the sack boy toy unusual sizes to make the man look strong for carrying it.  It wasn't very easy to do because I wanted to use a the same image to show how it can be used in different ways in the style of these art pieces.
Positive- Works really well and can tell what style I'm trying to do.
Negative- I think I should have done more to the image to fill it out more.
