We have been progressing nicely as a group. I reached my goal of completing three angles by this check. My job is to line the figures and design the halos then pass them on to Mila to be colored. Nothing has changed about the work this far but I know I'm going to have to pick up the pace in order to not be the weak link. I don't usually work in digital media, especially drawing, so there's been a learning curve.

They are a bit cropped but these are ( starting from the left) Raphael, Michael, and Jopiel
I know a lot of you had questions on how the halos would be incorporated into the overall design are i realized nowhere did i ever explain it. SO the holas will be behind the figure, there not here because they haven't been colored, as further symbolism for each of the angels. Once printed we are hoping to mount them on foam core, cut out the showing parts of the halo, resin seal them, and when hanging, we would backlight them. So the halos would be light rather than the white lines you see now. Richburg, Eryn, and I have been talking about ways to do this effectively and we haven't come up with anything solid yet so any suggestions on how we could would be greatly appreciated:)

I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from my classmates like Leilani, who have been excited about our pieces and the progress made. My teammates have been super supportive and understanding with me through my learning curve. I know they'd never say it but I'm sure they're annoyed they keep having to fix the hands I draw XD. Its been getting better slowly but surely but I'm not nearly as talented with drawing as they are. I am, however, really proud of myself for being able to get these done when I said I would and getting them done to the best of my ability.
I believe these pieces fit into the current contemporary art world because in socially divided and anxious times I feel we all need to look toward the people who are around us every day, who comfort us. I wanted to make art that made me and the people involved with this art happy. I've been making "sad art" for a long time and contemporary art has looked at mental health more deeply, so I wanted to make art that looked at a happier place.
Artist Inspirations:
Gabriel Silveira- She is an amazing illustrator from the UK whos work is a social commentary on the future and current use of technology. The use of line and color in her pieces is amazing and really adds to the theme of those pieces. I wish to do the same thing in my own drawings
Mattias Adolfsson--He is an illustrator from Sweden whos pen/ink and watercolor illustrations are incredible. His intricate linework is something that has inspired me to take that level of detail into my own work.
