Kit 49 - Part Four

My real life trip to Southern California is coming to a close. This time tomorrow, I'll already have been on the plane for an hour, provided I managed to navigate LAX alone successfully. It's not LAX that haunts my dreams, however. I've never flown alone before.

Anyway: I give you part four. I had a lot of fun putting the outfits together for this one and trying to work out what looked cool and what just looked like poor Kitti had fallen into a charity shop basket. Don't get me wrong - the fallen into a charity shop basket look isn't bad, it's just not what I was going for here. And it was quite interesting trying to make Kitti look like several different people without once changing her shape and/or bone structure (I'm still not really brave enough to mess with that!).

Though I've enjoyed making all of these installments so far, I think I'm perhaps losing some of the sense of play that I started with. I felt a bit repetitive, since many of the shots I have used so far have been taken in the same place, and that place isn't all that big. For part five, I have taken some shots across a couple of sims, and I'm trying to find a way to put them together seamlessly. I'm planning a longer strip, too, perhaps more akin to the style of part one. We'll see what I end up with, I guess. 

I'm not much of a comic-book reader. I am familiar with the general style, of course, and I have read quite a few manga books now (namely, Hellsing and Death Note and some of Black Butler), but I'm really just playing with the images I have and what I'm capable of doing in Paint Shop Pro, which is my photo manipulation tool of choice.

But more on that soon, hopefully!

Kit 49 - Part Three

Hello from sunny SoCal! As promised, here is another installment, if you like, of my comic experiment Kit 49. Woo! The shot I gave you in my previous post on good faith is not from this part, but from part five - so I've got a couple more installments heading your way. Hurray for being organised!

More posts (not comic related) are on the way.

Kit 49: Part One / Part Two

Kit 49 - Part Two

A plain old cat

Since I enjoyed creating my previous comic/montage 'Kit 49', and got quite a bit of positive feedback, I decided that I'd made another. It's not as long nor as detailed as the other, but there we go.

Kit 49 - Part 2

It is best viewed large which, sadly, Blogger is not the best at facilitating. Please click here - here! - to view the image on my flickr (in the largest size, ha ha. You can then click where it says 'Kitti Wytchwood' to return to my flickr stream, if you so wish).

Thank you for reading!

This is just a quick post because I wanted to share with you an image I've spent far too long this evening, in the wake of my final exam, creating. 

After my recent post, Kicking the (Chrome) Bucket, I have been keeping an eye out as I surf the web for cyberpunk images, and, after coming across a pretty fantastic Hong Kong-esque cyberpunk comic-style drawing, I decided that I wanted to give it a-go myself. You can consider this a creative response akin to the Neo Cassandra post if it makes you feel better, but, in all honesty, I just wanted to 'create art', in all its pretentious glory.

All of the screenshots used were taken by me, with Kitti as my model, of course. I am quite pleased with the results! I could have done with a few more images, maybe, and a little more...action. But I think there is a fairly strong aesthetic, and it's my first one, so...be kind!
