For one of our assignments last year in Electronic Media Studies, we were to take a photograph and do a photo-realistic rendering of it using Adobe Photoshop. At the time I had started getting into Korean pop music (K-Pop), and incidentally became obsessed with Choi Seung Hyun-- otherwise known as T.O.P from Big Bang. I had never really tried to render anything realistically before this project, but I surprised myself with the determination to insure that I recreate T.O.P with all of his puppy-eyed epicness that is displayed in the original 71: Into The Fire movie promotional image. I think I was rather successful, though there are some obvious places that could have been developed more (eg. the ear) and I think the mouth may be a bit off.
I really enjoyed the process. My younger sister, whom is very much still a rabid-avid fan of Big Bang, had no issues telling me what looked wrong or weird. Since this project I've started to go to her, and even my parents or friends that aren't really "into art" to give me their straight-up opinions.
