Finished First Illustration

I am really happy with my final Illustration, i think this is using the selected artist/band and the selected song very well.

Step Four

Step Four: In these final steps i decided that it wasnt finished, so i gave the background image and the Diesel logo to give more of the Tron Legacy look this was simple with the Guassin Blur effect. After i did that it was clear i had to include the Diesel main logo and the song name within the image.

Step Three

Step Three: This step i concentrated within the background and used the well known tron blue for the baground image. Once that was done i realised that the blue would show up more on a black background, which in the end i turned out to be right.

Step Two

Step Two: The next step once the illustration was traced was to colour the helmets and use individual layers so this could be possible. I coloured the helmets to the right specif colours that they actually are but with a more cartoony twist.
The Image below, you can see that i carried on with the colouring of the tubes and the well known red colour for the Diesel logo.

Step One

Step One: The first thing i did was trace the scanned image, so i could progress on to the colour stage.

Progressing

After producing that sketch i thought it would be a crime not to carry on with it. So once i scanned it in to the computer i thought it would be a good idea to progress on the programme, illustrator.

Illustration Sketch

I thought really hard of what i could achieve with my illustrations. When looking at images of Daft Punk it came clear to me that with the robotic theme that Daft Punk give, i should use that within my illustration. This is on sketch that i produced and scanned in to the computer:

If you look at the image i have used the idea of using the robotic head of Daft Punk to connect and supply electricity to the Diesel logo.Also the background you can see i used the Tron Legacy theme for one chosen song Derezzed.

Daft Punk Images

Daft Punk

Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo (b. 8 February 1974) met Thomas Bangalter (b. 3 January 1975) when they both attended school in Paris, France, in 1987. In 1992, heavily influenced by the Beach Boys, they recorded a song under the name Darling, which in turn found its way onto a compilation single issued on Stereolab's Duophonic label. A review in the UK's Melody Maker described their effort as "a bunch of daft punk", which depressed the pair but unwittingly gave them a name for their next project. 

Increasingly influenced by the house sounds filtering across from the UK and the USA, they signed with the Scottish label Soma Records and, in 1994, released the single "New Wave". However, it was their 1995 offering, an insanely catchy slice of techno /funk, "Da Funk", that really set the Daft Punk bandwagon rolling, especially when the Chemical Brothers spotted its floor-filling potential during their DJ sets. 

One important factor in the duo's sound is that they are not dance music purists; neither had been to a dance club until 1992 and their music is as influenced as much by Roxy Music and the Ramones as it is by house and techno pioneers such as Laurent Garnier. There is also a strong streak of old-style disco running through their work; Bangalter's father wrote hits for Ottawan and the Gibson Brothers, and "Da Funk" is based around a riff from a vintage R303 bass machine. The re-release of "Da Funk" by Virgin Records, and the subsequent Homework, broke Daft Punk to an overground audience that had for too many years seen French pop as synonymous with crooners such as Johnny Hallyday. Bangalter's alter ego, Stardust, was responsible for "Music Sounds Better With You", one of the club anthems of 1998. After breaking so much new ground with their debut, the pressure was on the duo to repeat the success with their second album. 

Discovery proved to be a far more commercial outing, allaying the hard house grooves of the debut with plenty of highly melodic retro synth-pop. Stand-out tracks "One More Time" (featuring Romanthony ), "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" were immediately hailed as new classics.

Chosen Artist

Once i had looked through the selected artists/bands, i have finally chosen the artist/band that would suit this project the best. The artist i have chosen to use to fulfill my illustrations is DAFT PUNK.
The reason i chose Daft Punk was because they have recently brought out their new song Derezzed in the Tron Legacy film. I thought the whole techno theme within Diesel would give it a new edge and era.

Planning

After researching long and hard, it is finally the time i chose an artist/band to do my illustrations on. I first came up with a few selections:

Bruno Mars, Daft Punk, JLS, Steve Angello, Axwell, Swedish House Mafia. Rhinna, David Guetta, Michael Jackson etc.
