Project 05- Photo Bashing Character Design

DUE: 

Assignment Guidelines

We will be focusing on "Photo Bashing".  Photo bashing, kit bashing, or model bashing  is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional model makers, photo bashing and kit bashing are popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model. Professionals often photo bash and kitbash to build prototype parts which are then recreated with lightweight materials.

DONT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A "COPY& PASTE" PHOTO!! Use paint blending techniques.

We will be combining parts of multiple photos together, using adjustments of hue, saturation, color, and levels adjustment, as well as the free transform tool, while painting on top of photos creating blending techniques that will help aide is in developing the following character designs with high detail textures from our imagination.
