Visual Language - 3D

3D and Lens:

We had to produce a 3D piece of illustration, and use a camera to capture it. We had to create ourselves as a mutant. I really enjoy mask making so I decided to make a mask that I could wear and photograph against a background. 





I wanted to make a mask with big tusks that come down from the face. I also though about how the mask would fit around my face and to have my jaw visible behind the mask.


I wanted the face and figure to be brightly coloured against a dark background. 


I used drawing inks to colour my mask. I went with a red and orange colour pallet and had the idea to wear clothes with matching colours to help combine the figure with the mask. I used paint pens to outline the mask and then added small bits of detail with a finer pen.



 Final Photos:




Im pleased with the final photos, I like the atmosphere it creates. The dark grey background works well against the red. Wearing clothing that matched the colour of the masks benefits the image. I think i should have included some more hand drawn items within the frame somewhere? Maybe some shapes on the wall in the background. I think I could have explored some more actions and positions that I could have been stood in, maybe holding something? or making a gesture of some sort. I tried some slightly different compositions of my character, I liked the one tilted to the side the best, so some of my hood was visible on the edge of the mask.
