R.I.P. Electra Heart ~ 8/9/13

Electra Heart was a character made up by the singer Marina Diamindis. Marina had included Electra in her career on August 8th 2011, with a song called "Part 1: Fear and Loathing". All of the stories in the Electra Heart saga are:

PART 1: ♡ “FEAR & LOATHING” ♡
PART 2: ♡ “RADIOACTIVE” ♡
PART 3: ♡ “THE ARCHETYPES” ♡
PART 4: ♡ “PRIMADONNA” ♡
PART 5: ♡ “SU-BARBIE-A” ♡
PART 6: ♡ “POWER & CONTROL” ♡
PART 7: ♡ “HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER” ♡
PART 8: ♡ “E.V.O.L” ♡
PART 9: ♡ “STATE OF DREAMING” ♡
PART 10: ♡ “LIES” ♡
PART 11: ♡ “ELECTRA HEART” ♡

On Part 11, which came out exactly 2 years after the making of Fear and Loathing, Electra heart committed suicide (even though in the video, Marina Diamindis pulls off the blond 'Electra' wig and smears the heart on her cheek, symbolizing the end of the Electra Heart era.)

 

So, I made an artwork for the single of her newest release "Part 11: Electra Heart" (which is a very good song if you understand the concept). I actually used a picture of a regular, white statue to portray Electra, added a heart to her cheek and makeup to her eye so it'd look more like her, then I gave the statue a headband like Electra would usually wear.

Paramore ~ 8/8/13

Another CD layout that I've made, this time, of Paramore, an American Rock band, mostly popularized by lead singer Hayley Williams, who I've portrayed multiple time in this. The Album is called "I Caught Myself, which is a name of one of their songs.

Transformation ~ 7/31/13

This is my chara's transition from her first form to her next. She becomes darker and more of a maniac, seeing as how she has red and black eyes.

Bathroom Guy ~ 7/30/13

I made another gif, but of a guy walking out of a bathroom. That's it. We're just watching a guy walk out of the bathroom.

Gif ~ 7/29/13

So I made a gif. I was going to animate Aubrey's transformation but I felt like that would take weeks so I just made a purple ribbon flying in the sky. Yep.

Aubrey Pinnock ~ 7/26/13

This is my character, Aubrey. This is obviously one of the most girly things I've created. Anyway, Aubrey is a cross between a human and an animal, as is everyone else in this "show". In her case, she is mixed with a rabbit. Aubrey would be the main character in a manga if I ever made one and she would act nice, as her appearance would suggest (and by appearance I mean the soft colours on her dress) but she would actually be really...hardcore, I guess you could say. Like, on a casual day, she would dress down in, like, black tees and jeans, but when she would go to school or something like that she'd wear...a dress. Oh, and she can control the dark forces of the universe and can basically crush anything she wants to even though she's like 4 foot 5. I wouldn't say she's evil in particular, just undefined, I guess -- misunderstood.

Frida Kahlo ~ 7/24/13

Frida Kahlo is a mexican-born painter who is well-known for the work of her self portraits. Even though she was born July 6, 1907, she gave her birthdate as July 7. 1910. She did this because she wanted her birthdate to be the same year as the Mexican Revolution, as if her life started with the birth of modern Mexico. Frida's work is sometimes considered "surrealist" and even folk art. She had life-long health problems due to an accident that occurred when she was a teenager and these health problems kept her isolated from the world, which inspired the rest of her artwork. Frida had once stated, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best. I was born a painter."

This is the self-portrait I've made myself. It's more characterized and more animated, opposed to being realistic as Frida was.

Tom Jung ~ 7/23?13

Tom Jung is an American Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Art Director who is well known for Movie Poster art and Motion Picture Storyboarding. He grew up in Boston, Massachusetts before attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where, in his second year, was drifted off to the Army. He contributed to, while stationed at, Fort Jackson as an editorial cartoonists; designing public service communications. Jung later created movie posters for over 60 movies including School for Scoundrels (1960), Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959), Star Wars (1977), Lord of the Rings (1978), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), not to mention his work in Storyboarding since 1977 all the way up to 2012's Walenda, which he also created a movie poster for.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower ~ 7/23/13

So this is my remade movie poster for the movie "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" or "The Perks". The girl is Emma Watson (who played the character Sam) and the boy is Logan Lerman (who payed the character Charlie) and the two quotes are both from the movie.

Lonely Hearts Club 3D ~ 7/18/13

So this is the CD in 3 dimensions. I actually made the outside as well as the inside.

Lonely Hearts Club ~ 7/17/13

Marina and the Diamonds CD Cover: Lonely Hearts Club (including songs The State of Dreaming, Radioactive, Primadonna, Hollywood, Oh No!, Starring Role, Teen Idle, Power& Control, Shampain, and Homewrecker). Obviously fake since most of these songs are included in multiple albums of her own, I had many uses of "candy hearts" and decorations made by Tumblr users and I did try to incorporate some vintage backgrounds and designs just like I believe Marina would have done herself.

Derek Gores ~ 7/15/13

Derek Gores is a collage artist whose creates his portraits by using recycled magazine articles, labels, and digital materials. His artwork is shown and displayed in galleries such as the ones found in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Sydney, Cologne, Miami, and Santa Fe. His design clients also include Dwell Magazine, Lincoln Motor Co., ESPN, Lenny Kravitz, Lucasfilm, Kings of Leon, U2, Adidas, Madonna, Harley Davidson, Standard Collective, the National Football League, etc. He's graduated from The Rhode Island School of Design and now lives in Melbourne, Florida and was named one of the 40 important artists of the New Contemporary Movement.

This collage I have made was inspired by Derrek Gores' work. Obviously it doesn't completely represent his art because his work must have taken him days upon weeks to complete, which is why it isn't an exact "replica" of something Gores would make, it was just "inspired" by his genius.

Kalel and Marzia ~ 7/12/13

Youtubers Edit: Kalel "Kitten" Cullen (WonderlandWardrobe) and Marzia Bisognin (CutiePieMarzia)

Ariana and the Tardis (EDIT) ~ 7/11/13

An Ariana Grande manipulation featuring the Tardis, seen on the BBC hit show Doctor Who. This picture displays the Tardis in the late 1800s, dressed in the appropriate attire for that date and time, and Ariana as the Tardis' biggest fan. Ariana used the Tardis to go back in time to this date and met the Tardis there, grew excited, and asked for a picture:

Hypster. INC. Logo for company 'Martien Graphiques©'

These designs didn't take too long to make, and 20-30 minutes each, probably. I just used my personal favourite colous, basically changed the "I" from the word "Hipster" into a "Y" and then added a "." to the end of it. I used the shape tools alot, mostly the Ellipse tool in Photoshop CS6 (and made the tool Gradient coloured to make the circles fade in the Logo "Martien Graphiques".
