Digital Illustration

I recently did a short course in Concept Art and Illustration with CG Spectrum, a College of Digital Art & Animation based in Melbourne. The course was phenomenal and our group mentor, Fabrizio Bortolussi, was super encouraging and gave good constructive criticism on how to make my work better. It was great to have weekly online Q&A sessions with other students from around the world and find out from Fab what it was like working in the industry and other questions we had. He is an amazing artist and I was inspired to do art every day, even if for an 1 or 2 hours to really improve. If I had the funds, I would definitely have gone to do their Diploma Course in Concept Art & Illustration. Here are the two pieces I completed on the course. 

I also now have a new website kirraleefisher.com

I really like the Hat Robot. It seems like it could be something that would be in a "Star Wars" movie. I'm not sure what inspired you to create that, but I think it is just superb. I seriously think the Hat Robot should be in the next "Star Wars" movie. (By the way, I still haven't seen "The Last Jedi." Maybe I will this weekend.) In my opinion, the Hat Robot, your "De Halve Maan" painting, and the "Pushing Out" painting are among your best works. Those three belong in a prominent wing of the K. Fisher art museum. Right next to a cataract of chocolate.

Thanks Mark, very encouraging of you. Why the chocolate though??

Well, you need to feed something to the millions of people who come through the museum, right? =) If this museum got to be a really big deal (Who knows? It's good to dream big), then all the visitors would be waiting in line for awhile before they even got in the door. So they would get hungry, and you would need to feed them something. So chocolate and maybe cider, too. A cataract of chocolate would be nice. Maybe I was thinking about a cataract of chocolate because of a story I was working on over 10 years ago. In the story, I wrote about this fictional chocolate factory in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was massive, with a rotunda and three different wings connected to the rotunda. And there were three different chocolate rivers on the top floors of the wings. The chocolate rivers flowed to the rotunda and they all became three chocolate waterfalls when they reached the rotunda. So the rotunda had these three incredible waterfalls of chocolate that descended all the way down to a chocolate subterranean lake. (The floor of the rotunda was glass and there were holes in the glass floor that the chocolate waterfalls passed through on the way down to the lake. And on this subterranean chocolate lake, people went on gondola rides. OK, that was a much longer comment than I planned to make, but now you know about my fictional chocolate factory. =)

Definitely like the ideas of chocolate waterfalls and gondola rides in the Lake. Been to Venice twice and still haven’t been on a gondola ride!
