Artist Statement: So I decided to make myself look like a wooden toy and to do that I used an effect to make myself look wooden which included my skin and clothes so I can get that more wooden figure feel and so it can look very rustic and old fashioned. I used the puppet warp tool to move my legs in a different position and make my facial expression different. I also used the puppet warp tool to make myself have a bigger chin giving myself a more action figure look.

Artist Statement: I really wanted my color wheel projects to have a diverse color set and tried to make each color combination really unique. Photo order goes (Compound, Complementary, Triad, Shades, Analogous, and Monochromatic.)

I made my logo have a pretty spicy color scheme so I didn't want to have it that big at all. My back is very simplistic as well with the information you would need for contact info.

I wanted to have the same texture on my body as the bridge so I found a wooden texture that went horizontal which is the same way as the wooden bridge my body is standing on. I used the puppet warp to move my legs a little bit and change my facial expression. I didn't want to change my pose so much since it was perfect for being on a bridge posing.                                                                                                 ...

I decided to make my logo have a fire and ice theme to it with the a line that divides them because I have always been a fan of duality in logos and I wanted my logo for this class to have that element since fire and ice are known to be polar opposites when it comes to elements.
