For School

This reference is pretty self explanatory. When drawing a hero with electric/lightning powers you have to have one references for when the hero uses them. This is also a good reference for the story of Farstrike because it relates to the backstory.

For the hero Farstrike, he stays inside for months fearing going outside. The second image could be used to show him going outside for the first time in awhile (sun too bright, covering with hand). The first image could be a good reference for the backstory of him reaching for his friend as they are struck by lightning.

This reference could also be used for a hero/villain retreating from the fight.

In his backstory his grandmother suffers from a heart attack, so this would be a good reference for drawing that.

To create this glitch I used the app Photomosh. I experimented with the effect rainbow (which adds a rainbow filter to the image), shake and pixelate. Personally this is one of my favourite pieces I did for this mini assignment because the glitch is very interesting. I love how the TV is pixelated, almost like what’s on the TV is coming out into reality. One other aspect I like about this are the colours (such as the green on the TV and the purple, blue, green surrounding it) that were created, it makes the TV seem like its breaking or its starting to become corrupted. 

For this piece I used the app Photomosh. I experimented with hue and saturation, and many other effects to give a dark colour and a bit of blur. Personally I like how the TV looks corroded, almost like its lost power. I also think the dark colours give a creepy feeling to the image, it makes me think of something that might be in a horror game. The aspect that is ‘broken’ for me is that the TV looks like it is shut off (almost like it won’t be able to turn on again).

I used the app JPG Glitch to create this image. For this process I mostly experience Ted with the effects they gave you. I enjoyed seeing the different colours I could create by changing the scales/power for the effects. With this art I love how the face is broken up into different parts, I also love how with this brokenness there’s lots of contrast between the different colours. Personally what I love so much about this piece is how it represents a broke feeling. When I think of happy faces I think of a bright, perfectly round yellow smiley face. But with this glitch it gives the piece a more ‘unhappy’ look, for me I feel the feeling of pretending to be happy because the happy face is broken.

For this glitch I used the glitchatron app. I choose an image of an old phone because I thought it would make for a nice looking glitch (mixing modern and old aspects always look cool). This image is broken in a way where in places the image is cut off and reassembled slightly off from the rest of the image (this creates an effect that some part of the telephone aren’t lined up), it is also corrupted in terms of colour. Where there should be a brown phone with a neutral background, there’s bright colours such as pink and yellow, which makes for a cool effect of bright colours that contrast with the neutrals and blacks. These were created by playing with the effects the glitchatron gave you, I mostly experimented to get an image I liked. 

Things this photo makes me think of: Cute, lovely, love, where are you going?, meow, come back!, heart, red, life is better with a cat, kitty

This photo makes me think of: Cat, cute, meow, blush, blue, love, human I request your love, sometimes I panic and think there’s a crazy person in my house...then I realize it’s just me, in a cat’s eye...all things belong to a cat, kitty

What I thought of when I first saw it, was that the sculpture looked like it was made out of redish-brown clay (clay you fight find in the Grand Canyon or some place else known for the beautiful types of clay it has). This then made me think of deserts and drier areas of the world. This got me imagining those scenes out of movies where the main character is driving or walking in the deserts and they stumble upon a small vintage town.
