Inkblot test Vs Photography



Opacity test, the first test photo manipulation was set at 13% opacity,
The second test was at 21%,
and the third test was at 35% .

Test 1 seems to be the most successful in my opinion because of its translucently, you can clearly see the model and it gives a hint of the suggestion.
Test two is also successful in the same manner as test one, the only difference being that it is slightly darker which might be an advantage depending on the settings and quality of the screen showing the work.
Test 3 looks too much like a mask, it distorts the face too much, seeming tacky.

Rorschach experiment.

There are many kinds of psychological tests that are used to understand the human psyche.

Some are very formal and standardized, while others are not.

Tests like the Rorschach Inkblot analyze perception and the inner life experience of a person. There are no wrong answers in these kinds of tests.

So, if you are so inclined, find out what you see in the inkblot above.

By the way, it is NOT an authentic Rorschach Inkblot, but rather a made up one. It's important to keep tests secure

Considering this, I will combind a standard head shot from the past studio work with a inkblot test.
Inspired by The watchmen.

Website idea and Design

After spending time researching successful artists showcases/websites I decided my old blog showcase just won't cut it if I'm going to be professional.
After thinking about the designs of websites and popular artist who use these to their advantage is was clear to keep it simple.
Here are my ideas so far :                        main view
                                                                  within each section


Luckily enough I'm having a web designer look at my drawing to see what can be done, if it can be done.
I'm incredibly thankful for this help because it is very out of my comfort zone!

As the designs/ progress begins I will update and log it all on here.

Colour balance -10,-8, +2
after that I've edited one of my water colour monsters to lay on to this portrait 
Now that the monsters in I'm going to connect and blend it with the skin, to 
hopefully look mutated



Finished rough draft
