The final idea

I was going to stick to my idea of mixing different time periods but went back to my original idea about how time makes things decay and also how living things become skeletons when everything is stripped away. I wanted to try an idea that was quite surreal but also make it quite obvious that 'distorting time' was my phrase. I decided to use an hourglass still but have it breaking. Therefore making the viewer think about what that might represent. The roses being in mod air is supposed to show time standing still as they are flung into the air. The girl, being half normal and half skeleton, is supposed to symbolise the passage of time. How she would inevitabely end up as a skeleton in time but this illustration also shows her as a living human as well. The cat is quite a random addition. As I had drawn a cat skeleton in the first illustration (was originally a kitten, to show the passage of time) I thought I'd add a cat (another living thing) to show the passage of time again. The little girl in the other image is supposed to be the same girl as in this image, but younger. Even if this is not obvious to the viewer, hopefully the age difference will ,make the viewer think about the passage of time.

I had never really used Photoshop before, so decided to challenge myself by editing my final pieces on Photoshop.
