Where I Live

Just a really rough thing i did for University for Vis'Com'
I was told to do produce a piece titled under 'Where I Live'.
A few people did things based on where they lived, or where they now lived since they'd moved to accomodation for University, or even where they'd like to live but i decided to just go with the basics and use what i knew haha!

-Rant begins here haha!!!-

I was influenced by 'The Hammo' who designed some fantastic bags for Nostalgia & Comics where i work so i thought that'd be a nice place to start! [link]

I sketched it then pro-markered it and quickly added the white highlights and the background blue since that's like my favourite colour

Plus i was unsure what to do for the back, the background of black and finally decided while on the till at work what better than a Bat? :') I decided on the film version cuz i liked the dynamic shape for this rather than the rounder comic symbol. Also Batman is the comic where it all started, and i still am quite obsessed with the verse today haha! But comics are what got me interested in my actual University course! So i feel a bit of homage to them haha

I also used the left to demonstrate what i enjoy and things i like, and then the right to demonstrate like physically what i see in Birmingham

Left:
Robin/Bird - To go alone with the theme haha! Plus my favourite character
Pokeball - I grew up with Pokemon, being a 90's child it was a huge part of my childhood and i still love it to this day.
Xbox controller - Although i don't play a lot of it it's a good way to keep in contact with one of my best friends who moved away last year so it means a lot to me! Plus hello? Arkham City haha!!!
Kiba/Wolf - Wolf's Rain is my favourite ever anime, and wolves are my favourite animal so i thought it would be nice to use it as a meaning for both
Oblivion/Keyblade - Still lovin' Kingdom Hearts!
Keyboard/Piano - I still love to play piano, thought i'm pretty rusty with my lil' keyboard nowadays, but one day i want to get myself back into it and get proper lessons to up the level
Starbucks/Coffee - Can't live without a bit of coffee haha!!!

Right:
Rotunda - Quite a memorable thing here in Brum', 's been here since 1965!
Bullring - Lump of black LOL - The now most infamous thing here in Brum' and the meaning most people visit i imagine haha, though i just go there for the Donut's and Mango Ice Cream myself
Bus/ Rectangle thing - I spend a lot of my day-to-day life on a bus, so thought it appropriate i put one in. I go to the train station for Uni' on one, i go to work on one and when i meet in town or the shops i get one haha!
Chinook Helicopter/ random shape - It's a wonderful sight to see them flying rather low above you, since my house is en route as the shortcut to the big hospital for the soldiers i see one every few months and boy do they shake the house flying over. And i always wish my well to the Soldiers inside, but it's always a beautiful thing to see the belly of a Chinnook

Plus the clouds showing the usual weather here in Brum! Cloudy, Rainy and Cold... Though amazingly we've had sun pretty early this year!!!

Fiiiiinally the lil' person in front is supposed to be me haha! I take a comic book or graphic novel everywhere. Read 'em on the bus, on the train, in Uni', at home, at the park e.t.c. Plus i work in a shop now haha! Also got my long converse i wear a lot, and my Urbanears headphones i never leave the house without! Plus the 2 pictures on the comic book are © to Jock! They're two of my most fav' covers latley, and he's a british artist
