My Pop-up Card

   
         Finally caught up with my assignments after finishing this, and I'm happy with how it turned out. the colors of the body and the tentacles of the jellyfish could be more similar but that contrast makes the body pop out. It was fun learning how to make galaxies and I'm am sure I could excel much further in making them with time.
     
        This jellyfish is actually from a podcast I listen to called The Adventure Zone. This is my version of the "voidfish". it was explained as "a gigantic jellyfish with a galaxy inside of it". I know I've been making a lot of things from podcasts lately, but what can I say? I just need to get this fanart out.


         I could improve it a bit more by putting the second layer back a bit more, and I should have made it look like all the parts were made together. It sort of looks like a collage of things I painted separately and with different paints. Not my best work. I could do better.

Finished Armor






             YAY! Armor: DONE! I'm quite satisfied with how it has turned out. The wings especially. 
I was confused, at first, with how I should've gone about making them. I made large left wing by cutting out the pieces in between the veins on the tag board, and then placing it on the vellum paper and tracing/cutting it out with an Exacto knife. Then, I taped it to the space where I cut out on the tag board. I did this one piece at a time. This was a laborious process and I wanted to find a different way to do it with the next wing. So, the process of the right wing was that I cut out all the peices between the veins on the tag board. I placed the tag board on the vellum paper and traced on the inside of the pieces. This proved to be much faster than what I had originally done. The underwings I had made pure gold so I did the same process I did with the right wing. 

              We bought the red shirt at a dollar general and I painted it at home. I painted the little honeycomb in class, which was a lot fun. It was like a little mini project, but I will admit that painting was a bit of a distraction. Nonetheless, I got it done with my armor and I'm happy with it.
