when hope leaves

This is the final sketch of my art work. I know it look different from my initial sketch. I changed it as I was not sure I can get the effect I want with a smaller sun as you have seen before in my previous sketch. Anyways I hope I can paint the image in my head using photoshop x)

first attempt with the brush and going well i guess.

Green shades are chosen for the body to make it look like it's wilting and as for the sea, the waves will be more darker inside when the colouring is done. It shows that rays from the eye has reached the ocean and it's life has been taken over making the ocean darker and polluted.  

this is how it looks now, not what i expected but i hope i get there in time.

In order to have a an angry, dark and demonic sun I played with different shades of colours while decreasing the opacity in different layers and this was the result i was most satisfied with. As for her face this is definitelty not the shade i want to have but it will be a colour that reflects her hair as well as her body.  

I was told that this looks very scary and that is not what I was portraying therefore I had to change the colour once again. For her face, again there are three different layers and each layer has a different colour that has a different opacity to make the colours blend in from layer to layer. 

I am more satisfied with the colouring and it matches the sadness i wanted to portray so there will be no more changes to the colour of the face. However, I am still trying to figure out what i should do with the sun and it's rays. I am still struggling to paint the image in my head. 

Whatever you see towards her eyes is something i wanted to put on her face as if it rooted from the neck infecting the whole face. I I was unable to find an image on internet on such short time and besides I was recommended by my friend I deleted the layer.

Here I have added another layer add more contrast for the rays of the sun.

I have added a black background on top of the sketch to make sure that i have coloured everywhere. While i was at it, I accidentally  ended up colouring the eye black and i like the way it is now. So here is what i submitted to my lecturer as my final art work. 

Artwork Title: When hope leaves

Art Movement: Abstract art

Theme chosen: Global Warming

Ideation and Concept: The mother earth has been possessed by the satan (sun) and it is taking over her life. She is looking at 'YOU' saying that you have failed on me. Hope has been drained from her as she surrenders herself to the satan to be destroyed.

This portrays a very dramatic image of what will happen to the earth due to Global Warming. Earth needs it's people to protect her from being destroyed.
