Ongoing reflective practice and concept development

Ongoing reflective practice...

Throughout the design process, I find it good practice to refer back to original concept artwork and design development, to make sure that the final images are progressing in line with the original intent of the concept art...

 Visual inspiration

2D Photoshop concept art, inspired by the above image

3D model in Maya...the hand of the actress will be filmed in the green screen studio at DJCAD....other effects (such as the technical 'fog and junk' haha) will be composited in Nuke....with of course my favourite 'God Ray's...

I've used a bright winter sunshine backdrop for this shot, but will do some alternative tests using a lilac backdrop to recreate the above concept art and see how it compares...
