Line Art Assignment

This assignment was all about colouring line art - preferably of a comic character. We were supposed to colour the line art and add special effects as well. Not wanting to do someone everyone else would do, and be subjected to the inevitable comparisons, I chose Pepper by Artgerm. In my version, she is getting ready to play soccer with a planet and is creating a magic force in the palm of her hand while hanging out in outer space.

Special Effects


The objective for this assignment was to add special effects to an image using Photoshop.

So, of course, the witch is demonstrating her awesome magical powers by creating lightning in the palms of her hands.

Zoomorphism - Firefox style

The assignment for this piece was to blend human and animal in photoshop, thus creating a zoomorphic image.

The idea behind this piece was that the web can be a frustrating place. That's why clever people use firefox.

With her trusty keyboard and umbrella, our heroine deftly navigates the web even under the most adverse of storms.
