xtool

This piece was created with the assignment to create a work of art through our school's X-Tool Laser. The idea was to basically be able to create a piece, transfer it into Photoshop, touch it up, and then into Illustrator. Finally, convert it to a PNG so that the laser's software can read it. And then the laser makes your art producible, just in a different form. 

I created a sketch on paper, then we used Photoshop, Illustrator, and then the X-Tool software.

I wanted to create layers, but also needed to split the piece up and add contrast, so I added a shadow underneath that also has bubbles coming up from the ground.
