This project is use to let student express their own individuality and reflect
their personality into digital art self-expression, help them build up
self-confidence and discover their interest.
Here is the references links that given by Mr. Fauzi :
We have been asked to write a short biography to let us know more about
ourself. Below are my biography.
My name is Rachel Yeo Rong Qing and I was 20
years old. I was born at 10th December 2003 at Sibu , Sarawak, Malaysia. I was
the eldest in family, I got a younger brother and I got a dog and two hamster
in my home.
I like to draw, and I want to learn how to
create an character, draw a nice illustration with scene or how to describe
a story, that why I am taking Bachelor of Creative Media. I started to learn
drawing myself by using youtube since I was 15 years old.
The thing that motivate me to achieve
my dream is anime, because I like to watch anime. I watch anime since I
was a kindergarten child. I really like anime because the story is always
nice and there always try to send audience some good values and some
character is very attractive, not because of their appearance is because
of their personality. I want to create character like that and also the
story the very interesting and convey good values to the audience
I want to learn a lot of skill from the
course that I take so that I can achieve my dream, I can create an nice
artwork that a lot of people satisfied.
Idea Development : Artwork Statement
I decide to let my work present about who
I am and also what I like. I want to shows the thing I like and also my confidence in my preferences
to audience, because my preference is not very popular so some people will
think it is a bit weird. But I always think that we no need to care about others people’s opinion. As long as the things you
do is not illegal and does not violate conscience then its doesn’t matter.
Just be yourself, and be confidence. My motto is 'If it pleases me, Everything is fine.', it is a character lines from
an anime, I like it very much.
Idea Development : Moodboard
Reference Poster 1
Reference Poster 2
Reference Poster 3
I have find three preference poster as my reference for my artwork.
Idea Development : Sketch
Sketch 1
Self portrait 1
Sketch 2
Self portrait 2
I have figure out two different sketches. Sketches 1 is based on
the Reference Poster 1
and Reference Poster 2, it
will be a cyberpunk style poster. Sketches 2 is based on the Reference Poster 3, it will be a colorful poster and looks more energetic.
After I get the feedback from Mr. Fauzi, I decide to choose the sketches 1 to
proceed to finalize the poster. I want to create a cybernetic me,
because I think sketches 1 more suit to my concept.
Progress
Progress 1
First, I crop my portrait from the picture by using mask selection tool.
Progress 2
Then, I add some elements and the background to make this pictures more
cybernetic.
Progress 3
Next, I have add some word and more details on the poster. I put my personal
information at the back because this poster concept is showing who I am. I
also draw some line on my hand and my face to makes me looks like mix of robot
and human.
Progress 4
At the end, I decided to crop a part of my face and shows machine part
to makes it looks like under my skin is actually robot. I also copy my
portrait and turn it into black and white at the background because I think my
background is a bit empty.
After I done my Self-portrait poster, I start to create the animation by using
After effect.
Progress 5
First, I let all the element unseen in the video.
Progress 6
I start from animate the part of my face, I use position tool to makes it
looks like getting off from my face.
Progress 7
After that I used mask tool to let the electronic elements shown one by one.
The picture above has show one of the example.
Progress 8
Next, I start to animate my words. I add mask on the words and also moving the
position of the words at the same time. So the words will looks like get in to
the video not just appear one by one likes others. Besides that, I also add
motion blur to let the words move smoother.
Progress 9
At the end, I add one more electronic element on the top of the right side and
animate it by using scale tool and rotation to makes my animation more
cybernetic.
Final
Final Poster
Cybernetic Me
Artist Statement :
I have makes my self-portrait with cybernetic element and makes me
looks likes mix of robot and human. This artwork has shows one of the
possibilities for the future of human. I chose to make my poster in a
cyberpunk style because although robots have helped us a lot in this
era, cyberpunk is still a relatively advanced style, and some people
will not be able to accept this style. Therefore, I think its fits
well with what I want to express. No matter whether what you like is
incomprehensible or too advanced for others, just be yourself.
I have upload my video to youtube channel, for the clearer version can click

Reflections
*Experience
Pass through this project, I have developed the
ways to combine different element and all the skills that
I learned from different subject in this semester. At the
beginning of this project, I was stuck at the part of Idea
development because I don't know how to combine all the
different element together in one artwork and I don't know
what types of idea can describe me better. But after that
I have do a lot of research on different portrait poster
and also different composition through internet and at the
end I figure out some ideas successfully.
*Observation
I was surprised that how difficult is when
I try to combine all different element together. It is
hard to combine them in a good composition. When it is
only one type of element we already got a lot of things
need to pay attention, when we try to combine typography,
photography and illustration together in one artwork the
things that we need to pay attention become triple or more
that it.
*Findings
Based on this
project, I found that besides the principle of each different
element, research and creativity is also important. If we don't
have knowledge that enough we cannot figure out a good idea and
the solution that can help us solve the problems. As conclusion, I
have learned a lot of skills from this project and we need to have
more knowledge, more creative and more careful when we create an
artwork.
