Teachers Pet Turnaround
The final design I settled on which combined ideas from the first two passes; whimsy and creatures with swapped heads. I also thought the trope of shooting an arrow through an apple on someone's head fit in with the trope of giving an apple to a teacher to get on her good side. Also based around 1950s poindexters.

Gino's Diner during the Day
This environment was also heavily influenced by summer in NYC. A couple summers ago I tried to walk to Junior's Diner in Brooklyn, but the trek there was nothing short of brutal. I tried to capture that oppressive heat here. I also thought it was a good juxtaposition to the nighttime version, which features a heavy rain.

80's Still Life
I take a lot of inspiration in my daily life from 80's aesthetics and the vaporwave phenomenon. I wanted to create something fun and dynamic that fit the theme of my biggest influence. I think the funnest part of this scene was creating the candy dots paper. I think it conveys a real sense of motion caught in an instant. I also like the extra layer of post I did to further the aesthetic of 80's digital media.
