Personal Metaphor
I chose my metaphor “I feel like a Martian with a soul of fire” because sometimes when I’m around a lot of people I feel like I don’t belong or everyone is looking at me differently. The fire represents the anger or frustration I have sometimes and I feel like no one can relate. I was trying to express the Martian as an outsider and the peace symbol as a form of acceptance. The fire is my sometimes felt anger.
On my metaphor I made my finger in the “peace” symbol meaning I just want people to know that I’m ok and not weird. I put flames on my fingers to represent the anger coming out of me. The fire in my chest also represents the anger I have and that a lot of it is still in me. I painted my skin like a reptile which symbols the awkwardness and the feeling of being looked at in a different way. My ears were smudged to a pointed tip to also represent the Martian look I think it all looks ok nothing to stand out because I just used basic Photoshop. My image, in my opinion, feels unified.
I think I was creative and I put almost exactly what I wanted to on the screen. The only thing that was difficult was keeping up with the layers, I had a layer for everything. One of the things I could have done better was make the flames coming out of my finger more blended. If I could change anything, I would change the background.

I really like your compostition and the way you explained your metaphor. I get an understanding of how you feel and I dont even know you. I liked how you edited the scales onto your body and made the smoke come from your mouth. This is an outstanding picture, I really like it.
