This was another project from my Computer Art class. The instructions were to create a Trompe-L'oeil picture.
To explain, Trompe-l'Å"il; an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of being mere, two-dimensional paintings.
So, everything in this piece was done with the pen/lasso tool and the brush tool with a photo used as reference. Everything except the money. The money would have taken probably an extra week's worth of work, and I had to have this printed as soon as possible for my schools art festival thing, so I just copied and filtered the hell out of it.
anywho. I probably could have done better on the cardboard with a little more time, but I'm mostly happy with this. It was sure as hell good practice with the brush tool.

Well, you certainly did that...I think the best part of this is the doll. I don't think I've ever seen a plastic surface painted so realistically.

Wow. At first I thought you took a picture. I seriously don't know how you did that. x_X It looks so real. That will definitely be an A+.
