For this week's assignment we were given the task to create either a 2d or 3d image of something surreal.

From my research I found there was many many ways to go with this, as the concept of surrealism literally opens up millions of windows of opportunity for the wierd and wonderful. I decided to try two ideas. One a more simple style, like a newspaper cartoon, and another in the more traditional painted style.

I did a quick, if slightly crude drawing of a magpie stealing jewels with a thick brush, like a large ink pen. I then used a marker brush to get in basic colours and shading.

For my second piece, I decided to think of a wierd way of transport. I hit on the idea of driving a foot.

I had a bit of trouble trying to get the skin tones right with this one, and still think there could be a little more work with the reflections on the windows too. Yet Im pleased with the overall wierd concept.
