Assignment #4: Surrealism



Add ImageToday's work was that of surrealism. I have two projects for this one -- Travel by Air and Lucy Goosey and the UFO.




First up was Travel by Air which was inspired by Spirited Away with my own twist. I didn't put a person waiting for the train like I wanted to, but this still works. The background is as follows -- the sky is the water, the water the sky. To point that out, I left the ducks swimming in their supposed sky because I felt the sky could have been very clear, very reflective water. To keep the idea of surrealism, I put a steam train on some tracks that are freestanding on water. I can't explain our estatic I was to have the train fit said tracks with little skewing. The track tyings were made because the other ones were obviously from dirt.

The second one is Lucy Goosey and the UFO. I like how the UFO turned out considering it's some items I found in my room on short notice. The duck/goose thing is upside down and hopefully still noticable. I feel I should have drained the colors to red to give it a look of a destroyed society. The crumbling building sitting on some falling land helps.




I've been playing with the blur tool these two pictures. Don't know if it obtained a surreal image.
