Exhibition text: Business man was inspired and influenced from Batman #700 by Mike Magnola. This illustration really contributed to my idea of having someone powerful as the center piece. This gave me the feeling of power which I than incorporated in my piece with the business man standing on top of a pile of money. Business man is meant to showcase power and wealth. The materials used to make this piece had already been made.

Exhibition text: Wave of Wealth was inspired and influenced from The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. This artwork really contributed to my idea of having a giant wave of money on fire engulf the city. When I see huge wave like The Great Wave of Kanagawa, I think of destruction and that is what money can do or cause for some people. Wave of Wealth is meant to showcase the destruction that money can cause. The materials used to make this piece had already been made.

The first thing that I did was that I drew my positive sketch into my sketch book. I wanted the theme of the illustration to be power and wealth and the first one I drew was positive. I drew a sketch of a man with lots of money and power on top of a power of money to convey this message across.
Then I drew the negative sketch in my sketch book. I had to keep the theme of money and power so I decided to make a wave of money but it is on fire. Then I decided to have it going toward a city. This was meant to show the power of money and how if used badly can cause a lot of destruction. |
I drew my positive piece on one of the poster board first and I only changed a few things from my planning sketches. I added a money sign to the cape instead of leaving it blank as well as adding more moeny to the pile. The money took a long time to draw because I didn't want them to be to big and I wanted it to be different shapes for it to look more realistic.

Then I drew my negative piece on the poster board next. I ended up changing some of the designs on the houses as well as adding more money to the wave. Again the money took a really long time to draw because I wanted it to look realistic and the wave was really big. I also added more fire to the wave by adding it around the front of it.

This is the final piece of the positive illustration. I liked how it turned out because I feel that it really got the message across that I wanted it to.
This is the final piece of the negative illustration. I liked how the fire money wave turned out and again I really think that it did a good job of getting the message I wanted it to across. |
