A current painting I’m working on, possibly for the main hall area, at the top of the stairs. if it isn’t put at the top of the stairs, it can be put into the study area. The women is based of a musician named Emilie autumn ( www.emilieautumn.com ) as her style fits quite with the environment we are making.
Note : I’ve already changed the painting since this picture .The update will be shown later.






Made 3 general tables for slightly different areas around the house but for nothing specific, I still kept them in a *worldly* perspective so they can be used anywhere in the house without making anything look a bit odd and out of place. The table that is shown on its own is set to a certain design(which you can see in the reference photo) this table is really only fit for the Main room.




Update of the first room.
Added the banisters that Stewart made, around the landing + stair area , which I pieced together on the environment(Stewart doing the stairs as the banisters had to be remodelled). I also had the wonderful task of making the windows .I might make the middle two small windows slightly bit longer (suggested by Stewart) depends though, they look ok as they are for now, I shall see.



Started building the house with the team and its turning out great.



































Put the very basic stuff together and now going to focus on getting this room finished very soon.
As you can see the foyer main principles are down , and it really wont take that long to pad it out and fill it up with detail. The outside body (walls and dome ) were created by me and josh , the main pillars under the arches created by me and josh.
When we first received the stairs section and upper floor area from Stewart it was out of scale , but that was no problem really . Both me and Stewart got back onto the computers and altered what he already made & did our own versions, and then we chose which one we proffered, which was mine. I then gave him back what I had altered so he could neaten up the gaps and bits and pieces , while I made some tables.

Feedback and such

I had a formative,it went quite well , and I can gladly say our team works perfectly together . All happy too do our parts, with no complaints what so ever which is brilliant .
I was given some great feedback regarding my work and the overall way I work which is cool. Of course though, the point of the formative was too identify the weaknesses in my work . My main focus after the feedback is that I’ve got to add a lot more reflective work to my page , which of course I will do so !


Here are some things that I’m currently focused on

finalizing off these more detailed storyboards ( haven’t uploaded the rough drawn ones yet) . we can finally use these to show where the cameras are going.
Finishing off a possible painting that can be used for the walls or on top of a desk or table
Getting the first room completed
Possibly more models for rooms .Add clutter etc , plants as well , they are vital.
Get some lighting sorted.

References

Reference material for me
























































A Test for ourselves, nothing more.


Myself and josh made the pillar and environment, while we used an old version of the stairs to give ourselves a rough idea of the area. This was nothing more than a test , to see how everything will eventually piece together. Wont be as many pillars , probably maxing out about 5 or 4 pillars each side instead of 10 (which you cant see in the picture) .
