Destroy The Icon Iteration 1


 This is my first iteration of the Destroy the Icon Project. I used Salvador Dali as my subject and put him into a desert scene with a setting clock-sun in reference to his paintings. I'm not sure if I altered this picture enough to "destroy the icon" because it is taking me a long time to learn Photoshop, but I like how this turned out overall.

  This is the iconic image I will be using for the Destroy the Icon Project. It is an image of surrealist artist, Salvador Dali. I think there are many directions I can go with this image and would like to reference some of his iconic paintings within my project.

Process #3 (Redo)

       Next, I tackled the issue of what I actually wanted to be swimming in the ocean inside the sink. Without something swimming in the ocean, I felt that the image would be too sink-like. I have had a special place in my heart for Orca whales since I watched the tear-jerking documentary, "Blackfish", about whales that live/perform in Seaworld. For me, the sink represented the small performing pools that these huge mammals spend their entire lives in. I Image-traced the picture of the older and younger Orcas and deleted a lot of the unnecessary negative space around them. I would have liked to include the lines that show the Orcas cutting through the water, but I was unable to find a way to include it in the finished product of my piece (I'm still pretty new to Adobe Illustrator).

Fantasy Project Progress 2

Image
  This is my second progress picture for this piece. I had a lot of trouble working with Illustrator on this project,  but this is the concept I am going for. I am trying to marry the ideas of sinks as mountains and the water coming from the faucet as waterfalls, but I don't feel that it is really coming across how I initially imagined it. I will continue to work on it and resubmit it when I am happier with it. I would really appreciate some critique/suggestions on how to marry the concepts better, because I can see it in my head but cannot bring it to fruition like I hoped.
