(N 201) MaNi-PiX


I think its cool how they combined all of these pictures together to form one whole one. I think they was trying to form a rainbow I think, but I'm not sure. I never knew of how someone could forge something like this to create a bigger master piece. This design is different from the others cause the pictures they used arent lined up but scattered which makes a neat effect.

(N 201) Tattooed UP


This here is a picture of Rachel Summers, she is the daughter of Jean Grey and Scott Summers in another reality. She takes on the traits of her mother which was the phoenix at one point in her life. In Rachel's reality, Jean never got rid of the phoenix and Rachel inherited them traits. The tattoo on her back is just a lil dose of the tattoos that are suppose to be covering her entire body. Rachel is known as the Phoenix II, and was imprisoned when she was younger and tortured by a cruel man. Nice designs in this picture though.

Some how some one put a combine photo of all the best anime shows out there. Inuyasha, Bleach, Naruto, Ghost of the Shell, and well I don't know the one with the girl in the pink hair. But my first anime love was Inuyasha which I was sad when it went off. Naruto is a good show to watch as well, but like Inuyasha I was sad when they stopped showing it on Cartoon Network. Im still currently watching Bleach, but be missing all the shows when they do air.

I honestly dont like this drawn picture. I think the idea behind it is great but the picture could use more work. If the person would of made the hands more realistic and the designs within them flow with the structure of the hand or place the palms upward. The hand designs remind me of the scarfs that black african american women wear, I dont know if thats a good thing or bad thing.

(N 201) MiNi-ME


This here is a little drawing I did on Illustrator. I created a tiny version of myself to match one of my common outfits and looks. As you can see the main shirt matches the hat, but the hoodie underneath is a different tone of red which it is in real life as well.I spent a huge amount of time working on this character, trying to get every possible detail exact so it would look more and more like me. The shirt logo on the front took some time doing and was confusing at times but I got it, its not perfect but close to it. But here is my MiNi-ME...lol

(N 201) ANi-GeLiA


I know for a fact that it is a long and painful process to design and make a character with a program like Illustrator. Capturing all the detail and making sure that the character you are drawing and creating looks the way you want them to look. In this picture Angelina looks very much like herself. They captured her very intense and strong facial features and they also her body structure as well. Angelina's lips are your signature feature, so the person who designed this picture knew to make sure her lips were on point. And dont let me get started on the hair, because her hair looks amazing I just hope one day I can be able to design something like this.

WHATS WRONG WITH THIS: What I think is wrong with this designed picture is that its too simple. This photo is not complex enough and needs more to be added to its design. What I would have changed or made this piece different would have been the placement of the characters. I would have some overlapping one another and on different levels as well. I wouldnt of have the characters in a straight line cause that is simple, too simple. I also would have placed a different color background for this photo. I would have put purple or red as the central color in the back.
WHATS RIGHT WITH THIS: Other then the poses are neat, nothing is right with this if you ask me.

(N 201) WoLVERiNE & Da X-MeN

My first thought of this television series was that it was corny, retarded, and I didnt like the animation done in the series. When I say that i didnt like the animation used in this series, I mean I didnt like the overly sized arms, skinny waist, and things of that nature. I had to warm up to this series. I now love it. I like how they redid X-men and switched up the events. The one question I have is that in the original series Wolverine was troubled, wild, uncontrollable and angry all the time. Its funny cause in this series Wolverine is all level headed and acts completely opposite of his original character. When Jean Grey went missing in the old x-men Wolverine would have stopped at nothing to find her, but in this one, I dont even think he cares that she is missing lol.




(N 201) RiHANNA VZ G.P


Automatically when I look at this picture, the song that the guy who fused Umbrella and Tenderness together, pops into my head. I have the song saved on my hard drive as we speak. What doesnt work in this design is that its too simple and plan. I would have chosen a set of colors to put within this design and would have ran with it. Next, I think that having Rihanna's eyes in this design is cool, but I see nothing to indicate Tenderness or G.P. I would have put a picture of them on it as well or fused a picture of Rihanna with them. But I still love this song though.

(N 201) HeAD FiRST


First off Im going to say that I am learning alot from this book. This is the text book used in my CSCI-N241 course, which I was struggling in the beginning of the year but havent had any troubles lately. Whenever I look at this book I dont know why, but i get inspired. Inspired to work on web pages and create websites. Everytime I look at this cover i pick up my book and at least flip through it. I like way they used purple on the cover, its like they made the entire cover based on the purple scheme.

(N 201) MeTA-BEE



This had to be my favorite cartoon series in seventh grade and some of eighth. Metabee was this main characters name. His story is that he is suppose to possess a rare chip inside of him and that it gave him an advantage over the other battle bots in the series. By the way the series was called MetaBots. As you can see this character is modeled after a beetle, but I dont know which one though. I have always been fond of the color scheme used is this characters design. The characters design is very detailed and well put together, but in the series it wasnt that great in the animation. I still like this show though might go watch it when i get home.

(N 201) Six PERSONALITIES

Yes its true, I have five twin brothers. Im just kidding. I made this design for my myspace background last year in the summber of 2008. I actually designed it about a month before attending IUPUI. I became a pro at Photoshop at a early age in my life.
Each character is suppose to express my personality traits at that time in my life. I have goofy side, the fighter, the clever one and ones like that. If you didnt notice I mispelled Personalities and put personalites lol. But I created the shadows with the burn tool in the color icon.

First off I'm going to say this piece I love the picture within this design work, but I have nothing but respect for the designer of this, it kind of sucks. Im going to start with the header. The header text is not even visible enough to read, I see it say "Get Started Now" but still hard to read. "Reguest a free quote" I have no idea or clue what that means or what this image design is meant for. I do like how the background in this image is color cordinated with the stone within the image. The stones are the focus point of the design, but they dont sit exactly in the center of the piece but a little more to the left side, which I like.

(N 201) Superman VS The X-men

I was browsing the internet and came across this picture of the X-men having it out with Superman, I thought this was hilarious. Its like Marvel vs DC, but i cant say good vs evil because both parties are good as far as i know. Its fun watching this image cause if you havent noticed the Professor is attacking Superman's mind, Rogue is trying to take on against Superman's strength (seeing how both of them are similar in abilities), and Wolverine is distracting him taking a beaten since he can withstand it. But overall I completely love this image.

(N 201) i DReAM oF JeANiE


For some reason over the past five years I have had an obsession with DUAL PERSONALITIES a.k.a Multiple personalities. The reality of this extraordinary event taken place is very unique. See the truth behind multiple personalities/D.I.D is a mental illness caused at early ages. D.I.D can occur from mental or physical abuse at early ages of life where the mind is still fragile enough to fragment itself creating what is known as ALTERS. Alters are the personalities that are not the SOUL PERSONALITY. There is said that some people can possess over hundred of these alters. In the past they believed these people were possessed by a demonic spirit or the devil. Some even believe that the person had possessed two souls in one body, in JEAN GREY's case that is true. In the X-MEN series, Jean had experienced having a dual personality within her. When trying to save her friends from their ship crashing she had been possessed
by an entity named "The Phoenix". This Phoenix possess unlimited power which became too much for Jean fragile soul and body to handle. This is the perfect picture for Jean in her distress. She displays in this picture distress, concern, pain, and torment. Jean was tormented by the power of the Phoenix.

(N 201) NEo LIghts


Hmmm honestly I dont have a clue what gender this person is. It might be a man? It might be a female? It might even be a cross-gender or trany. The colors used in this picture goes together. I like how it goes from cool to hot, going downwards. The way this piece is put together is simple designs but placed into one item to form a whole new idea. Actually after looking at the lips this person may be black. Just an idea.

(N 201) HALLOW EVE TREAT



Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is Ereck Butler. This outfit was for halloween and halloween only. I had alot of fun this year, I had an enjoyable time. I was so well dressed up, that no one recognized me. What I did was take some lessons on youtube on how to apply make up. I went out with some friends to Long john silvers, and this guy even hit on me. the guy didnt even know I was really a dude. I was suppose to be Rihanna, but by the end of the night I thought I looked more like Ciara then Rihanna. But my main point is that placing on this make up was like designing a artwork or something. Applying the different colors together to create one type of look, and making sure that the colors fit the look as well.
