We've also received our new brief. With this we need to create the three witches and the ghost of Banquo from Macbeth, this however will be divided between four people in a team so only one model per person. This is an important brief as we are doing it for a chance to have our work featured in a theatre version of Macbeth in front a lot of people, their production will tour the country I've heard.
Now for the witches we've been told the director would like something along the lines of the girl from The Ring or The Grudge, so something that instils fear. I personally would prefer something less along the lines of a horror film but not what would also be considered a cliché witch. For ideas I've looked at the Other Mother from the film Coraline as I like the transition from a normal woman to a creepy and thin "witch" like character.
Here I have my first mood-board, I shall post
more mood-boards and sketches as they come in.
I do like the design of the character Asajj Ventress from the Star Wars Clone Wars television series, she is part of the night-sisters and witch cult within the Star Wars universe. The most interesting features I like are the strong lines that make up the features of the face, giving her a menacing look.

For the ghost of Banquo I've looked along the lines of the ringwraiths from The Lord of the Rings and the dementors from the Harry Potter series. I like the idea of him being more of a shadow with highlighted facial features to gice an ominous look.
Hopefully there'll be more updates a lot more often as I believe a blog is a great way of keeping records of previous work and ideas. If I have the time I'll probably do a video blog, this is me for now. Bye!
