Been so busy I didn't even notice I missed a day of Blog. Sorry! So I uploaded little glimpses of the images I am preparing to upload for a competition. I have finished 3 of 4 images, although I am still going back and forth and tweaking a lot of the images. the images I last uploaded are not totally different and have developed more. My only regret is really not kicking my ass earlier to get it all done. I have given my self a week, which is pathetic. I still know I can get it done and even so far I have learnt a lot. So here are my 3 images so far. they may again totally change before I upload them for the deadline which is Monday.

Hello, so. I realize I didn't post anything yesterday. With very good reason I did nothing, I also wasn't able to blog via, my phone. So anyways, today I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, due to illness. However I just did a little more research on the kings and queens that have ruled Britain. It started with King Offa (757-796 pictured below), The throne was then handed down to his son, Ecgfrith reigns for less than 6 months. The throne was then empty for 6 years before King Egbert ruled in 802. This seems to be the first and last time the throne is empty for this long. Another thing I noticed within the date of all the kings and queens, there really wasn't many that had ruled longer than 30 years. I also thought it was very interesting that the first Queen of Britain didn't happen till 1553, Queen Mary, she only ruled for 5 years and then the throne was ruled by Elizabeth 1st, One of the most famous rulers of Britain, she ruled for a hefty 45 years So I am now hoping to look into Kings and Queens from Europe and hopefully will start to get a better idea about which historical characters I want to have in my deck of cards. So I think I will more than likely have a few different designs of playing cards. But this will be the first hopefully.
I am now on my last few days with being home, So I am now making the rounds of making sure I see everyone before I leave to go back to Aberdeen. So I have to admit I am unsure if I will be able to post tomorrow, let alone do any more research. So don't say I didn't warn you! Today, I have been a lot more productive. I have been doing a lot more sketches and beginning to really start designing for the 3 ghost stories, due on the 19th.
I also realized I had read the brief slightly wrong. I am to design 3 portrait images for each story. As well as designing a book cover, combining elements from all 3 stories. A wee bit of a pain in the arse, but I believe I can do it on time. I have also been doing more research into the deck of cards, I have been thinking of doing a few different themes. I have decided to go a bit old school for the mean time, and have been researching the old kings and queens of Britain. This is just one of many however. I am hoping to look into zombies, alcohol, and getting my geek on with a few popular tv shows. I even had a little study buddy with me today. She however was not very helpful, but very entertaining. Safe to say she thought my work was a snooze fest... Nothing much really to report today, I still feel super ill, but have been continuing with developing my ideas for the 3 ghost story books.
Also again looking into more Ideas for my new logo, Also I have been doing more research into developing my deck of cards collection. Looking into certain themes and things. Sorry I don't really have much to show for today. Hopefully will have more for tomorrow to show. So, today I have been finally organizing myself!
YAY! I have begun to design my logo for this web page. I am hoping to have it completed by the end of the month. Due to all of my other projects going on at the same time. I have feel totally plague riddle :( So feeling a little bit slower today with working away than I would normally be. Anyways, tomorrows another day, I will hopefully be more on the ball. |
