Digital reflection 4

I used my peer crit to adjust some elements of my work, such as perspective issues and silhouette problems with the leg placement, as well as adding drop shadows. This did immediately improve the effectiveness of my work, however, I did another crit of my work against a professional concept artist in industry to further improve.

Nivanh Chanthara uses photo-bashing to create organic humanoid and non-humanoid robots, using various different shapes, colours and materials. Some of the points that I took from looking at a piece of Chanthara's work was the use of fabrics, amongst metal structures such as joints and cabling. This adds interest and helps to separate parts of the robot from others. I also liked the use of decals on his work, which bring the eye around the photo-bash, as well as the way he grounded the robot within a contextual environment. Some of the other notes I took comparing our work can be viewed below, in my Five-Point Plan that I made. This was created by placing mine and Chanthara's work side by side, and picking out what the artist does well, and what techniques I could use with my work.
