-If you can't see, this is a tree mixed with a ballerina figure. I love nature, especially tree's, and danced my entire life. So, i created two in one. I chose the colors b/c i enjoy the rasta colors and feel as though they go well together. I didn't want to do just typical cliche green leaves. I think the swirls in the background give it that last final touch.




-As for this one, i wanted to do something with music, but wanted to do something different. So i chose to do DJ headphones. I made a vector of the headphones, leaving out some detail for the eye to fill in. The background i created with different brushes while distorting them one by one and layering. I also played with the Layering Modes such as color burn and screen, leaving the colors to show through in different shades. It was a struggle for me to decide if the background was too much, taking away from the headphones. I lowered the opacity a lot, but not too much to loose the color and effect.

The effects of the background in both images are good. The images need some fill use maybe at an opacity level that would make them pop. Good use of color and skill.
