A few more pages







These are some of the last few pages in my book. All I have to do is bind it, and print out the front cover and then I am done. Planning on making some mini books of the series of images to sell at our degree show shop.

Better late than never

Today after I finish work, I am going to spend the rest of the evening up into the early hours of the morning storyboarding, ....and maybe actually start some finals oooee. Weirdly enough I'm quite excited to see what happens as I am feeling so inspired to just get on with it!

Here is some inspiration I have been gathering for this project: http://pinterest.com/motionsilence/outer-dark/

Book Cover



Another attempt at a book cover for 'Outer Dark'. I quite like the look of pastels, so I might use an array of different media's for this little book of illustrations that I will be doing.

On the Walls



A few book covers are up on the walls in uni, and mine is amongst them! You can see it on the bottom right hand corner. Other book covers are Becky Smith, Adrian Everett, Lucy Collins and Emily Parker (who the picture was taken by). Check out their blogs to see their work and more images of their book covers.

Late night drawing



I planned on doing an all nighter yesterday, it didn't go to plan, as I fell asleep at 2:00am :| Which can only mean I need to drink more coffee. These are pastel landscapes; they were two separate images but when placed together they quite work as a whole. I have so much to do today, scan, print, mock, and importantly keep storyboarding.

I recently started working at Where Memories Meet, a lovely coffee shop that if you are in the area I recommend visiting, even if it is just to drop in and say a quick hello :) Otherwise, I am surely to buy the contents of the shop, not a good decision for my already empty purse.

Mock Up





This is a quick mock up of how I want my images to look like in the end. It's a shame I don't have much time left to do all the work. This requires some much needed all nighters.

Plans




Not sure how this will turn out, but this is what I am currently working on at the moment. I feel I should have done this weeks ago. I am so behind, better late than even later :s

reactions




Some sketches of Rinthy, one of the main characters. I have been concentrating more on her, as it the story is driven by her search of her child. I don't think I will use any of these images in my final work, but I quite like them still. I was using the reference of Brit Marling who plays Rhoda Williams in 'Another Earth' (2011), as I find her actions and movements match exactly what I want to portray. It's a great film, I really liked it. You can watch the trailer here.


Book Cover



Spent most of today working on quick rough mock up of the book cover for 'Outer Dark' by Cormac McCarthy. I was pleased with it until I started to realise that it is very similar to an already printed design cover for the book, that is in use (in terms of the colours and layout). Back to the drawing board!
