In honor of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, here is a painting of an exploding tardis!The Pandorica Opens - Doctor Who Fan Art by Talisaurus
     This is one of the designs I made of academy t-shirts for my school. This one features the engineering academy. I made this working in Adobe Illustrator. To fit with this subject, I used the pen tool to make gears and then used graphic effects to create the metal texture. For the background I used a certain graphic effects brush and for the words I just used the type tool and added effects.

here's a cool example of landscape architecture!
     This is a landscape that I created in Adobe Photoshop. My assignment was to create an image based on a landscape that inspires me, so I chose a river. There is a trail leading to the Cahaba river close to my house, and I walked down it quite a lot as a child. I remember always feeling at peace there, so I figured it would be a great landscape to recreate.
     I first drew a sketch in pencil and then scanned it in to use as the base for my image. Afterwards I used a soft-edged brush to fill in the basic areas that my different elements would occupy. Then I drew in my trees and used special effects brushes to finish up the composition, adding leaves, grass, etc.
