Midsummer Progress

Started detailing my project. Wanted to make the trees look more like castle towers.

Midsummer Color Studies

Still have three more color studies, but I'm uploading what I have to keep track of colors. I'll edit this post when I have them all.

Edit: All added!

Head Phone

Now you can text and look where you're going at the same time!

Now, I no longer have to verbally speak on the phone to be a safe walker.

Photoshop

Out of all my years of using Photoshop, I must say that this is the strangest glitch that I've ever experienced.

Filter Jam 1

Experimenting only with filters. (Where's the sponge tool?)

Young Goodman Brown Color Studies

I am hoping to convey a feeling of helplessness against a powerful, sinister force.

A Sinister Hour

Colors mine, template not.

I might change this a bit later, but I want to be on my schedule for now. Veteran's Day is perfection day.

Connecting Idea

What is connecting? Plugs and outlets seem appropriate, as they are meant to connect. I would use electricity as a way to make the power of connection clear. Chains, puzzles, and keys also fit the idea of things that are meant to connect. But connecting can also be in terms of relationships such as friendships, symbolized by playgrounds and phones, or family, symbolized by dinner tables and food. Hand holding is also an organic type of connection, while plugs and outlets might be less organic, but easier to read. I would like my main idea to be a combination of plugs and another organic idea, such as holding hands.
