Cut 'N Paste Values



Values are nearly completely roughed in. Background is currently competing too much with the focal point, Cut 'N Paste. This will be remedied by changing the material of the morgue storage lockers from a shiny metal to painted/unpolished metal, which will be lower contrast and in value, which will allow the figure to pop and read quickly.

Its coming along, but there is still a lot of work. Next I will detail the values enough that the line work will no longer be of service. Currently, I am playing with the possibility of adding color after the final values. However, the I love the emotion and tone of a black and white piece. What I am most considering is to go with a film noir/horror feel and rough up and age it as if it is an aged and damaged photograph.

Cut 'N Paste Line Work



This is a man who breaks into the morgue at night to cut out tattoos from old sailors and sews them onto himself. He has a tattoo around his neckline that states "Why pay if you can get it for free?" This is a little idea I've been throwing around in my head for most of this last semester, but have not had time until now to "flesh" it out if you will :)
