TARGETS

Complete Digital Piece

I think to move on to the laser cutting process and to get my template I need to make serious headway on my digital piece. It won't take long as I will only be tracing and making edits to what needs fixed.

Research

I am half way my research but finding my own artists I where I struggle. I will be spending today working on looking for artists that inspire my work.

Development

I am very forgetful when it comes to screenshots, which are important to my work because they aid the process of my work for piers to see.

Weekly Reflection - Reference Pictures

Today I went to take reference pictures of the skull for the skeleton and my model and dresser. I am happy with outcome and intend to do photobashing with my tutor tomorrow.

I am currently ahead of schedule and and happy with the progress made today.




As you can see in this one I was going to originally take the picture in front of the green screen but if you look closely you can just see some of the green reflecting off of the white of the jaw. This would make more work for me that what it was worth so I later chose to just use a plain white background.

Composition

I definitely like this composition and setting, I think it suits the moody atmosphere I have going on. I have considered making two pieces for this with both figures swapping places. This way I could look at inverting the colours with each piece.

With this piece especially I attempted to look at the different styles I could pick from, this one is very old-fashion cartooned, which is cute but I don't feel it fitting this scene.

Weekly Reflection - Sketchbook Work (1)

This week has been very productive. I have managed to complete my moodboard and doodle some ideas.

My concept is for the woman looking in to the mirror sees a gruesome and rotted version of herself, thus portraying the vanity of looking at herself and the hallucination of what isn't really there. This is just a thumbnail but I have considered ideas such as the woman and the rotted figure swapped places, so that its the lady inside the mirror and the her rotted self looking in to it, this would also affect how vain she is to only see beauty where as she is actually rotting and decaying.

Initial Planning and Mapping



Inspired by my tutors own diagram I started to plan one based around story telling. I really want to portray a bit of background in my piece, as if it tells itself.

Two things I really wanted to capture in this piece is decay and hallucination which are the two main branches from story telling. A lot of what I jotted down was absolute word vomit but all of what branched out is what is influencing my work.
