Christiane Paul Digital Art Chapter 1

I liked Carl Fudge's idea with the anime character on page 45.  I like how it really showed that regardless of the manipulation, you can still tell what form of art style it is from.

I was intrigued by Alexander Apostol's technique of removing windows and doors on pages 38 and 39 .  It really gave the look of desolation under a coat of perfection paint.  It reminds me of the shows that show how buildings decay after they have been abandoned.

I liked the idea of Paul Smith's Action series of putting an every man into the situations of the movie heroes.  I do not like the fact that he uses only himself like when he fights himself on page 41.  It just seems too staged or hyper-real and a bit narcissistic and it just loses its touch for me.  The images feel more like something from a parody action movie.
