Unit 3 finished designs

I would like to start with the last design i did in they unit. This one is one of my favourites as i am impressed with the abstract edge i have added.The blocks that are scatted around are supposed to represent houses(as in the houses around worksop)and there is a path leading towards the viewer and away from the priory church(which,of course,is in worksop).

This design is supposed to represent how we,Worksop,grow as a town.The tree,which grows towards the building to suggest that our town has both buildings and trees.My main problem with this design is the way the sun looks.For a start The "beams" coming off the main bit of it makes it look more like  a flower.Besides that i would have liked to make the lines slightly thicker for a better effect.My favourite part of the design is the road and how it leads towards the viewer.This was a aesthetic choice made to make my design look better.I think,looking at my design now,That the clouds should have been done diffrently.

A personal favourite of mine.This design has had a few compliments as it is the best looking one.I like the way i have incorporated "The all seeing eye" into my design. This is supposed to represent the fact that we all have the wisdom in our hands to progress and grow(like the moon).

Though points were raised ,while talking with others,that the moon theme may offend those of the islamic state.This being said the flag includes a moon with a small star(which is not included in my design)so i may be safe to keep my design the same. 

The last design is a lighter colour then the rest because of the way it was formatted.This issue was fixed later on.This design was supposed to be a simple one.Using lines and shapes only. The straight lines come together to make building(more or less like theses in worksop and Retford).The sun is shown in the back ground,like beams of light.This deign is not as strong as my others as converting it its opacity has taken the nice dark and light tones out of it.

pupet mechanism and ideas

While researching puppet mechanisms I found this picture which I thought would be good for my toad.I is quite similar to mine as it has a toad like mouth.Although I wouldn't use the eye lashes as tosd is associated as a male(though there's nothing wrong with him having them).

I want to use the wire frame so I can hold it like so:

This will control how the mouth moves.

I would use thick wire to make this look work.

I have found some ideas for if I wanted to make a moving mouth.

I thought of this from when I was little and I used to get these toys from cheap stores.That being said,the toys themselves lasted quite a while.

They work by having a thread attacked to the inside of the mouth that goes down to the handle. By pulling the the handle catch the mouth opens and closes.

This would be a good idea for my toads mouth.

I would include a handle on mine that could be pulled to make the mouth open and close easily.

Latex design

First view of my mask that has had latex added to it.We had to add a little layer to begin with and let it dry.

As you can see from the picture above its starting to smooth into the mask.

Looking at the picture now I realize how uneven the nose looks but this is something to fix in the future.

There looks like there are a few ultra white patches.This can be fixed when I apply the third layer.

This is a update of my mask which has had to have another coat on t as it's gone moldy 

my chosen character

The characters mask I have chosen to make is capitano.
His looks include:

Colourful patchwork outfits(both trousers and tops)including a white ruffle under his shirt.I thought about making a clay hat to go with it.

He wears a curvy hat that may be either blue or white(depending on what the designer prefers) .In the play his characteristics are portrayed as being very self indulgent (to the point where it becomes negative).He will talk big but when it comes to a fight will try and avoid it usually cowering in the face of enemys.

Below is a image of the mask that Capitano weres:

The mask has a red/Orange tint to it.with a dark black moustache. 

The mask it's self looks angry which doesn't really go towards the self loving characters that I've read about.

This is my version(that keeps the shape but has had a slight bit of detail added to give it a bit of difference.

Pictures taken in my free time

Taken outside my house when my cat was sat on our gate.I think that the weather and darkness outside makes it look nicer.If I darked the image a bit I could make it out to be a monster on a gate.

Taken in Clumber park with slight sun beam in the left corner.

Taken in the outdoors when I went on a trip with my dad.The picture was interesting because of the fire that is setting off smoke in the back ground.

Taken in my bathroom

The picture's above were taken in preparation for class.Many had gone through Instagram filters put onto them.A lot of these pictures were a test to see how the different teqniques on them.Some used filters,saturation, light and dark.

Other effects are lost on me but I do remember Valencia pro.

hooves idea continue

For My idea I wanted to search up and become as familiar as I could with the hooves of both horses and deers.It bought hat by actually look at a diagram it would give me some actual knowledge on the anatomy. 

Shows the bone structure of the hove its self.

Accurate drawings of horses hooves

I also searched for a video hat would help me get a Ida if how horses moved as well.the video below is a horse trainer talk throughout he alerts of' training'  a horse.

artist/designer influence (idea wip)

For my final picture I have in mind the idea of bring the monster sort thing that will be included in my picture/Polaroid.My ideas take massive influence from a costume designer (who I have followed for many years over facebook)who goes by the name 'Psychara'.Psychara herself attends festival's in all the costumes she makes herself.
Here is one of her main pieces that I want to take the biggest influence from:

The costume above heavily resembles a deer or fawn.This is shaped by the long fur covered legs.This main part is what I want o focus on as it really does make you go' wow'.Also I would like to make horns like this (although they Would  be black like the rest of my outfit) .

For my idea I already own a pair of platfotms.I will be aiming for this type of shape(though I may need to edit them slightly in photo shop as my shoes do not have quite a point to them

For this idea I will study further into feet and how I will complete the look.

I may consider wrapping tape around my feet and padding them out a bit to give them the shape.
