Painting on this material is not only a challenge, but it can really get on your nerves. I have trouble with acrylic painting when I can't get as paint stroke to come out looking smooth, and the smoke in this project gave me a lot of problems when it came to that. I thoroughly enjoyed painting the alien himself and I'm glad that the colors I chose came out nicely on him. I feel like I did a nice job on creating the depth in the helmet using the carving technique as well as the highlights and shadows. I'm not sure if I am completely happy with the outcome of the background colors as I kept changing it, trying to find the best color choices to use with everything else. Overall, I love the shine and detail that was shone in the final product.
This project represents the places I want to go and the things I want to do. I chose to create this character because he represents the first time I've ever made a sci-fi based project. Typically, I make fantasy based projects, but I never have really tried to teach myself how to create modern and futuristic clothing or suits even though they really interest me. His neck consists of tattoos symbolizing places I want to travel to and learn more about. The tree intertwined with celtic knots is known as the tree of life, representing Ireland. The winged lion is called the Lion of Saint Mark, who represents Venice and Italy in general. The quote "In My Defens God Me Defend" is the motto of the Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Scotland. I love learning about the cultures and sceneries of these beautiful places and it is a dream of mine to put my shoes into the people that live in each country. These are only the few places I want to visit, but these are the ones I want to see with my own eyes the most.
