Final Piece: James Bond

I composed my reconstruction of my final piece under the influence of the artist Michael Gillette.  I originally  pencil drew the figure of  Monica Bellucci; a Bond Women staring in the new Spectre movie.  I then scanned it to photoshop and digitally modified the piece resulting in the Final image below.

I used the same editing techniques that I used to compose the experimental images shown previously. I added a layer below the image to create a depth and gave of set finish. The reason for this was I admire the finish in Gillette work and how they are very stylist but still remain a traditional art feel of illustration.  The solid colours is something I felt gave it a deeper depth and a physical transition. I used the colours with the inspiration of the colour wheel and using complimentary colours beside each other. I did experiment with other others shown, however I preferred the bright bold colours, remaining similar to Gillette's work. The waves in the background where to give a stylistic feel and acknowledge the fact that majority  of James bond pieces are very digital conventional; I wanted to included this.  I created this by adding an external layer and fading the image.

With Gillette's novel illustrations they feature the bond title and the author, as my final piece was not designed for a Novel but a piece of Fan art for the movie I decided to include the name of the James bond actor.  I placed the title in a 'cross word' style again giving another dimension to the image. This physical play on words  or puzzle reflects the movie of James bond: How is sent on a mission to solve the problem.
