Weekly Blog Post

After the milestone check on Thursday; I learned that my environment needed a little pizazz. I am going for a theme "Magical Prison". I can't seam to get close to neither one of the themes. I can make it look magical on the out side by adding color "pretty color" but the design of the prison if left out. Most prisons look dull and boring and trying to spice it up takes away the menacing fell of the prison. I'll work some more on it over the week end.

I've reached the end of the third week and I finally know what my theme will be. I wanna do a future prison. So for this week end I'll research prisons and continue to look up future references. To get ready for my matte painting I rented the ballistic matte painting book.
