Week 11:

More reworking the animatic. There’s been new thumbnails done for the ending and I reviewed them with Will. I proposed an added scene so there was a little more time spent with Valerie mourning Meredith.

Will then did the updated animatic.

I finalised two of the paintings from the thumbnails. They were very easy and are meant to be a little messy. The point being that Valerie is fixated on blood at this point, so there’s focus on a lot of injury. Warning for some graphic content.

The pixelation is because I painted over the thumbnail, but this will likely be a background painting so it doesn’t need to be detailed and high definition. A couple of peers also said it looked interesting.

I started painting for the “Masterpiece” which took me a while to do.

This painting was quite hard because I haven’t painted in a long time. I knew what I wanted to achieve but it took some back and forth.

Week 12:

I have finished the Masterpiece

I also set aside a canvas for “The Lamb”. This is one of Valerie’s paintings, and Rachel really liked the idea of tying Meredith to “The lamb for the slaughter” idea. Having this be the painting she discovers pulls a direct parallel to it. I’d have liked to push that further with a wolf motif, but after peer feedback, most thought this lamb felt more fitting with Valerie’s previous artwork.

Finished the sketches for the model sheet we agreed to work from.
