BMA 242 - Cover Concepts
here are some of the cover concepts that i have done for the calendar these three are specifically for the front cover.
this on is based on the idea of photos droped and left where the fell, with the sheep on the top because in 2015 it will be the year of the sheep.
this on was done with the idea of a lotus flower in mind with the yin yang symbol being its heart it has all 12 of the zodiacs names in chinese script with the horse on yang and the sheep on yin. to symbolise the passing of the year of the horse to the year of the sheep. the horse is also a yang zodiac where the sheep is a yin zodiac.
this on was ment to symbolise the meeting of and passing on of the new year from the horse to the sheep.
Back Cover
i wanted to keep the back cover nice and simple.
BMA 242 zodiac images
these are the images that were used in my calendar all of them are painted using a reference image
over all i think the images were successful in the own rights.
i am not too happy with this image the dragon didn't quite turn out how i wanted it to. though this was attempt number 6 to do a dragon.
i am really happy with how the horse turned out
the face of the monkey turned out really well i feel
the red and the purple look really good for the ox
the pig looks a bit funny though i still think that it works in a way
the rabbit is probably one of the more successful of the images
the rat is a bit strange and i dont like the feet but i was running out of time.
over all i think the images were successful in the own rights.
