This is my version of a futurist painting using the original piece by an artist Bob Kessel as a template. It original was purposely design to be a superhero using futurist shapes and colours in a 10m x 10m canvas, which now can be easily order online to vast amount of quantity, but what my idea was to take that sample image and almost draw on top on the existing painting and create by own using the models or drawing in this case to perfectly fit with the painting. Bob kessel calls his piece ‘Ultraman’, I guess to hint out to the viewer that the subject that their looking at, is a superhero rather than a architecture building which easily mistaken at the beginning. Bearing that in mind, I later decided to come my finished piece ‘Fully armoured Ultraman’. The reason behind this is because, the original show us this boring, simple superhero while my final outcome adds this life of a superhero being fully armoured ready for battle. Also, my piece has more detail and colour which helps to realize what is being looked at sooner rather than later by the level of depth of how much detail has been included as part of its amour.

Now looking at the process to I have achieved this final outcome. Firstly, i took the original painting and inputted it to Adobe Photoshop and photo editing software, and change the size of the image to fit a standard square of 10 x 10 measurement page. Then came finding the right model to be merged with the painting, inputing that into the software ready to be changed and manipulated. Secondly, i used the shape of the model and trying fitting it them to existing shapes on the all ready shapes on Bob Kessle painting. This was copied and pasted many time with the same model drawing, so it seem to a collage of drawing at first being layered out all over the place. After placing each one in the correct place, I made sure they were suited their fitted perfectly in the place there were. Lastly, after everything was in place, I blended both the background and the foreground by using the over layering tool found in the navigation box. This took a while to perfect because of some images had to be more transparent than other but overall the final outcome looks like good.
