Description Value study for my illustration final.
The assignment was to design what we would look like as a scfi/fanstay/horror character and our environment.

I'm a vagabond explorer in a post apocolyptic type sci fi world where nature has mostly reclaimed what used to be a highly advanced planet. There is remains of the technology and citites that used to dominate the planet, but the people have mostly reverted to tribal living and only a small number still know how to read let alone work electronics. My character is the decendant of what the people now call "wizards" thsoe who kept the ancient knowledge of how to use the electronic gadgets, read, studied the old history, and even passed down the most gaurded seceret, the internet. I have a sword with a screen built into the hilt that allows me to store data and play video and has the capability to become a computer if any wireless still remains. I travel the world in search of knoweldge and any more who have kept the ancient ways. I also sometimes hope, maybe vainly, that I might be able to restore learning and civilization the the earth by finding the legendary "internet" which I only have a vauge idea about what it might actually be.

Thanks!
I will be coloring it as part of the project. I've already made a bunch of color studies on the computer, but I have to paint it in real life still. *strings up noose and waits to hang* XP

You should make a photocopy and paint that. D; The sketch is waaaaaaay too nice.

But yeah, photoshop would be really cool. I still say go ahead and paint it, then add some extra stuff in photoshop afterwards. That way you can get the color, texture, dimensionality, AND you get to play with the digital medium. C:

I can't wait to see it when it's done!

Yup, I was planning on the photocopy method. Barker showed us how to gesso it to the Illustration board so we can paint over it.
hahaha, oh wow, speaking of photoshop effects I have to show you the monstrosity I created while I was screwing around with my color studies. A hint, it's titled "MOR LENS FLARE!" and it made Aave want to disown me. XD
I'm really excited about this project too. I'm used to having to do self portraits, but not usually self portraits that are actually cool, and not just "whoopie I'm looking right at you and in a portrait type void." haha

That's a really cool concept I could see it becoming an awesome movie or novel. Though the computer sword is a little bit more far-fetched than the rest of the concept I really like it haha, awesome.

Thank you! Yeah, the sword was sort of a byproduct of me going, "hmmm... lets replace this tiny fake video rock-band guitar from my ref. photo with something more bad ass... hmmm... *looks over at current video game* GIANT SWORD! *looks over at laptop* ...with a computer!" It was going to have a container for snacks too, but I decided not to elaborate on that little detail.
