Phils scene of the crime

This is a picture from the college toilets, i used bleach to make this burning effect, i found it quite humorous to see a toilet on fire, to make the really white parts i literally flooded that section with bleach.



Flames in the corridor, looks really effective here, maybe i could experiment with layering up the flame effects in photoshop. i think i would like to go with the arson attack idea for my final idea though i am not yet sure.









Just a random collage of a murder scene at the sinks in the 4.1 studio, i just used a pro marker to colour over the photo, the blood is really blatant and cartoon like but i think that i like it like this because despite it's cartoon appearance it still suggests gore and violence. 


This is a picture of the gallery in the art college, i really liked the open space and the white walls were almost asking to be ruined. the structure of this building sugests that it is strong and able to take a beating, thought destroying the piller could make the entire thing crumble. 




Drawing perspective image of a hall way, coloured with fineliner and water. 










This is a photoshop trace that i have done of the gallery, i have made it slightly cartoon like and i can now colour it. i earlier said that i liked the cartoon blood i had drawn for one of my images, i wanna keep up with this theme and use really bold and bright colours to illustrate this piece.







Here is my cartoonized image of the gallery, i have added my pigeons from the last project to make it look abandoned and they also fit in with the colour scheme. i have made the scene in a different location, i did this just to show that the inner structure of a building can be re-used into different scenes and landscapes. 




I experimented with odd angles and interesting objects for my crime scene, the phone hanging off of the  console could suggest that someone was trying to call for help but something got them.

Another photoshop trace - i didn't get around to finishing this one but i would have liked to colour it using the same technique as i used for the gallery, i would of also added some really obvious blood by the phone to suggest someone was clawing away at the phone before someone killed them.




Whilst i was doing all of this tracing i had the idea of using phil's room as a template for my crime scene, the desk and chair were good elements for the pieces structure and it would also be humorous to illustrate a crime scene that takes place in my lecturers office.



 I traced some of the key elements and then switched out his chair and macbook for a typewriter and an old victorian age chair, the many stages that this image went through are all in my physical folder. i coloured the image using pro markers, i then photocopied the image and coloured over it with charcoal  and then repeated the process. finally i tea stained some paper and used it as my background for the final image, i burnt the edges of my work to make it look authentic. The piece is mounted on a burnt bit of paper which is ironic because the image is showing an arson attack.



The image turned out really well and i am proud of what i have achieved, if i were to do this project again i would work more on the artist reference to extend my pool of ideas and i would focus a lot on how space is used to appropriately compliment the piece. I am happy with the way that this turned out and i really like the techniques that i had learned when creating this image.
