Red Room.

Well hey there, the last time you heard from me i was speaking about Voodoo Dolls And A Game Plan.

The project itself has been put on a slight hold for further development of characters, plot line and environment and will hopefully be re-started shortly.

In the mean time i am working on a No-Line image (A image without any black out lines to define environments or characters) that my girlfriend inspired me to create.

The mental image of this was quite different for both of us when she told me about the idea.
Her original idea was a clothesline with dead rats hanging from pegs in the foreground and Polaroid images decorating a wall in the background.
Mine was a slightly altered version.
A clothesline in the foreground with rats hanging from pegs.
Further and further into the background you have several clothing lines with Polaroid images hanging to dry from pegs, much similar to the processing of Polaroids in a red room.

Here you have the first hand digital sketch. The original first sketch was done in a haze at 3 in the morning and is not making much sense i'm afraid.

The progress made from the after sketch isn't too much of a significance but it is enough to show a result. 

I see a lot of changes i have to do already.
The first thing that stands out is that the Polaroids that i have vaguely formed in the background need to be lager than they currently are, not much of a problem, but enough to annoy me every time i look at the image.

Second i will have to work out where the light is coming from, have individual traits for each rat and continue shading.
The last matter i will have to address is the lighting of the room itself, considering that i wish to have it as similar to a red room as possible.

So, i have a lot of work to do.
