35 Digital Painters You Shouldn't Miss

http://essenmitsosse.de/digital-painters/


You can do anything you want for final.
One of these might inspire you.
Also tutorials that remain in your book?

Printing Upstairs

Howdy,

If you like your FINAL and want it considered for show:  PRINT IT.

Ask for BETTER PAPER when you print upstairs.

PROCESS:  Sign your name in PSD file.  Make PDF.  Print.  Thursday: Spray, Mount, Cut.
Put on Saslow external drive.  Hang following Wed 9 10 am, and Thursday 3 pm.  :-0

Evil Smurf - WIP

I've decided on a smurf for my famous cartoon. Instead of being tiny, as usual, he will be gigantic and terrorizing a city much like King Kong.




Eric's Idea

I'm thinking about doing a portrait of a 'B' list celebrity. Not sure which one yet.





Final Idea - Krista

Idea: I would like to find a well known character from a tv show or cartoon and paint them in a style that they've never been seen before like in the examples below.






Final Project idear

My idea is to make a movie poster wether it exists or not. So it can virge on the point of really crazy ridiculous or a tv show like party down.  My other idea is to work on this sketch i have of a bunch of people in a field with computer heads on. So I would further refine it and make it awesome blossom spectacular.

Final Project

Influence: http://steinlo.tumblr.com/

Idea: I would like to create a portrait similar to the artist I linked above. I'm not sure if i will be doing a straight up digital painting (which will involve creating some interesting brushes like his pixel brushes), or perhaps integrate the project with one from my other class (which will involve creating a digital bust of the character, compositing, and painting over it.)


Monday, April 16, 2012

Print Lab open 11:30 to 2:00 Tuesday.

Tyler writes:

I will post a note on the door indicating my cell number where a student can reach me.
It will only be a matter of taking a minute or two to meet them there and print.

Bldg C Print Shop open 2-5 Monday, not open Tuesday

Re:  Printing poster:  I've emailed the students who man the shop and asked if someone can be there Tuesday morning... but I don't know if they can.   (The Tuesday am slot was crossed off on the door....)

Friday, April 13, 2012
