Description this is my piece for my final project in my color class. The purpose was to create a feeling of depth with color and to repeat an element at least four times in the composition.

This project was originally supposed to be painted in acrylics, but then the instructor opened up the media options to anything we want. so, when I asked her if I could do a digital painting she just about freaked on me. she really doesn't consider computer art to be art, I was able to convince her only after I promised not to use any clip art or collage type work hehe. anyway this is my attempt to hopefully change her feelings about digital art, and I'd like to get a passing grade while I'm at it ^_^

The original image size was 18in wide and 24in lengthwise at about 300 dpi. so this thing was huge. but it had to be to print out. Obviously I've shrunken it down to be DA friendly

I had several sleepless nights over this one, but I'm proud of it

that will change her thoughts on it! Very well done
Glad you're changing her thoughts on it -- attitudes like that need to be, enlightened!

I bypassed this initially, and then ~ snarfevs made me go into full view and look again. And I went... woah. Because I didn't even realise the orange things were fish at first, and I thought the heart was a lantern underwater. And now... dude. I am amazed.
If you don't top your class, I will kneecap your teacher, because this nigh-on incredible. No, fuck it, it is incredible. Suck on my +fav.

This is awesome! I love it. And thank you for fighting the good fight against close-minded art teachers... I never fared quite so well.

yeah I already talked to her even though we don't critique and she was pretty impressed, she wanted to know if there was a class for it It was kind of funny, but I really don't think there is
