Project One 

Fantasy Appliance 

UPDATE..

The photo above will be my reference for project one, Fantasy Appliance.

For this assignment I have done some contemplating about the appliance I felt would work best for my project. I decided that I would no longer use a lamp but instead the lightbulb inside. 

I want to create a mixture of part lightbulb part bumble bee where the bulb is its tail/body but still flows nicely with the composition.  

I took a screenshot of the image I created in illustrator of the light bulb. 

The following photo is one I found online. I am using it as a background. 

A work in progress!

From this point I want to manipulate the lightbulb to look as if it is apart of an insect. 

. 

To create my "Bee-bulb" creature, I used an image I found online to then traces out its upper body and wings. I decided to use the bulb as his tail or its bottom. Which can be seen in the next image. 

This is my most updated progress in the project. I decided to create this composition using a bee with my appliance, the light bulb, because I tend to associate light and the imagery of light with bring attention and awareness. In recent years Bees as a species has began to dwindle which I feel should gain more attention and awareness due to how important they are too the ecosystems they inhabit. 

I would love some constructive criticism! Please share your ideas.

I used the brush tool to add some texture to the fuzzy part of the bee that some of you had mentioned. I am really happy with the outcome! I hope you like it as much as I do.
