         Wrapping up this semester was filled with a flurry of work to cap off the productive term. I'm feeling very confident in my work, with having one piece finished to completion for the most part, and all others ready to begin painting. It's going to be exciting to work on in the coming months, sticking to painting and polishing all the rough edges.

Rachel's fifth post

So new work of course. I personally like some of the images that people during critique felt didn't fit. I know my compositions have been more cropped in but I feel like that isn't that much different in these. The only difference is that you see more in the background of these images but you still get the personal feeling of the emotion and violence. The kitchen scenes are some of my favorite and I really like that she was stopped in the middle of cooking him dinner to be abused (obviously in the sense of composition wise not literally). I like that you have a bit of an idea of what their house but not to much so there is still enough left to the imagination. The only thing i don't like is that you can see the LHU sticker on the toaster which i didn't realize until i went through the images  but i will probably photoshop it out.

Rachel's fourth post

So I realize its been a while since I have posted and so i'm going to play catch up a bit. This is what i was doing during the fourth post time frame.

So i was working on editing some pictures and playing around with lighting and testing out what i liked and didn't like and i mostly realized i didn't like it but i will share an example any way.

So the top is the edited version and the bottom is the unedited just for comparison. personally I prefer the more natural look of the originals but i'm going for more of an actual setting type look.

Final Post of the Semester - WOWWW - Cody Williams

Some of these aren't quite finished, or right where I want them yet. I've been working on editing my pictures a hint more in photoshop, and messing with this sort of mirroring effect almost(?). I've been seeking out locations in which I can take photos in, because I want to explore a more environmental relationship in my images than what I've had. So in that time since I've taken photos/been editing, I've also molded about 7 girls breast plates. 3 of which are fully casted, some I threw away/or destroyed because of technical issues, or I didn't like them/weren't up to my standards. But I plan on making about 4 more finalized breast plates before I go home.
