The REALLY Final outcome XD

Here, my REALLY final outcome, WITH textures XD. It does look better does it?@@

Unsatisfied

With an unsatisfying felling, I added textures into the assignment and it came out pretty good.


Firstly, I select the part where i want the texture to be and opened the transparency window, there I click show thumbnail and then make opacity mask, double click the black box and placed in the textures I wanted with some adjustment with the opacity, the above are the result. The iceberg's texture was done in the exactly same way.

The Final Product

And here it is my work done.^^

The Step-by-step Explanation.

1st, I put the picture of my sketch into Adobe Illustrator as a tracing pic. Then, I put guide lines so that there is a frame like thinggy and make the picture opacity lower for better viewing.


After that I trace along the sketch's out lines using the pen tool.

A more detailed tracing is done.

After that, I make the picture for tracing to be hidden and made the tracing lines to be live paint. Then, i just put in the colors i wanted in there. When that is done I select the whole image and add in the feather effect.


Here, i make a new layer and add in backgrounds, lock it and went back to the previous image. Then I make a copy of the whole image and transfer it to another new layer, reflect it, blur, and reduce the opacity so that it looks like a reflection.

After the background and the iceberg reflection is done, i made the outline of the iceberg white.
Then in a new layer drawn the clouds, blurred it and added feather effect also. After that, I make a copy of it and transfer it to the background layer. There, i reflected it, blurred more and reduced the opacity. Solar flare was then added in a new layer.

Lastly, I add in my previous symbol in assignment 1 and its DONE...XD

Final Sketch

My final sketch after several failed sketches.
Will be doing my Assignment 2 with this, no more time wasting going to do my .AI file now.

New References

After some thinking.........I think that my previous sketch was too complicated and its kind of not what assignment 2 should be.
So I went on finding some more references and below are the one that I grabbed from DeviantArt.
