I tried cutting out squares and filling them with an image of water that I think gave a nice texture to the image. I am really liking how this one is turning out!
I like this a lot and the textures are awesome! I think adding more color might be fun. It could still be a color that feels calming and give the same vibes. Just something that allows the image to feel less washed out? Maybe a light pink or lilac in some of the water textures?
My concept in one word is "Mess". I wish I could've been working on things more but it feels like everything is falling apart in my personal life and every time I try to work on this I can't really get anywhere. The thing on the top is a washing machine with my car's gear shift in it. It broke down this weekend in Asheville so I had to get towed from there and then my partner's parents had to come get us. I put the road because we can never get away from it and every time we drive it's a cycle of going somewhere and coming back. It's a similar thing with the gear shift and washing machine, we always come back (and they have their own cycles). I added my hamster because when I come home I see him. I am realizing that another concept could be "everyday". Sorry if I shared too much. Please let me know some more ideas if you have some. I'm feeling stuck.
I've been playing in Photoshop and I really like where this is heading! I have been having trouble thinking of other things to do with the photo of Mr. John. If you have any ideas or think that I am doing something well let me know! I need all the help I can get. I don't know what it is but it's been harder for me to think of ideas.
I began this piece wanting to make something classically beautiful but then came out with a commentary on my own work. A lot of the time I get into my own head when it comes to things I make because they're a little strange and it's hard for me to recognize that something I make is good because things can get weird. This is showing how I hold myself back because of the fear of going too far. The first image is how it exported and the second one is the cropped version. I might like the first one more but I'm not sure.
