Law and Order

Hungry Robot Farmer
This is my final design for Ben's workshop
 Bodmin tortoise thief
My final image for local crime. I decided to use collage for this piece as I liked the idea of creating separate little items and animals to go into my pet shop crime scene. I am happy with the final outcome particularly my characters facial expression, I think I've captured the mischievous feigned innocence I was going for.

Law and Order Stage 2 Final Piece

The website for the news : http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Drunken-Dartmouth-ferry-pirate-woman-jailed/story-16936249-detail/story.html

This is my chosen Final Piece for stage 2, inspired by David Hughes and Brett Affrunti.

Guess Who - Melancholy, Robotic, Astronaut

Out of all the characters from the idea development sheets, this robot stood out the most, as it communicated the  the chosen words best. With the melancholic expression on its face even though robots shouldn't have any, and the way it's sat really gives off a melancholic feel and plus the helmet and rocket ship in the background shows that the robot is an astronaut.


Scene of a crime- Murder scene


Inspired by Brett Affrunti, using  colour  pallet for 'Bar Hit' was used to colour this image.


I tried to create a similar effect as Affrunti by using sugar paper to create similar texture. I wanted to show the  scene of the crime during and after and by using more vibrant colours for the characters makes it easier to understand the concept of the image as they are basically two different scenes put into one. his is my favourite Crime scene piece because of the scanning effect, where the characters have a 3D effect. made the murderer look as thought he is coming out of the page.

Stage 2 final piece

This is my final piece for stage 2. I am pleased with the outcome as it has different textures which makes the mackerel stand out, as they are the focus of the crime. I also like the sepia tones as if the colours were too bright it would take over the piece.

Sleepy Robotic Dr

Taking inspiration from Ben Newman I used cut-out card and paper for the bold shapes then used Photoshop to tidy it up

Law and order

The crime I chose is here -> http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Attack-broom-nearly-killed-prisoner/story-17557574-detail/story.html

haven't done a background with characters before, personally I thought it went rather well, although the perspective looks a bit...odd, i'm reasonably happy with it. ^_^
