The first image below was especially difficult as it was all done with paper and an exacto knife. Collage is so much harder than I remember it being in elementary school. I wanted it to head into an abstract form but still maintain relatively recognizable character traits. This image was very fun to make but very time consuming.
Does it get any better than Redneck wrestlers? This one is closer to my normal approach but I colored it differently than I normally would have. I also tried to use certain shapes in the face, feet, and digits that I wouldn't normally use. My animal inspiration here was a big pink pig.
The mole is the real character. It controls the old woman's thoughts and tells her what to do. I'm sure that anyone with a mole knows what I am talking about...
These last two are very influenced by the countless hours I have spent watching Fosters Home for Imaginary friends. Great cartoon that I would encourage all to watch, but the main reason that I tried going this direction was to eliminate the need for line as much as possible, as it is one of my artistic crutches I tend to lean on.
As always, comments and critiques are welcomed.
