Surprisingly, I didn’t feel afraid of a critique for once. Even though I would be entering the lion’s den and having them evaluate my work.  I felt very sure of not only my project, but of myself as well. By this point, my three works had their linework, flat color and a mock-up of the backgrounds completed, so I felt as prepared as I could possibly be by this point.

During the review, I received a lot of pretty helpful feedback. I know for certain that one that helped me the most was the feedback for my backgrounds. While I was making them, I really did feel like they distracted me a bit from the images I had drawn. I think that Kim’s suggestion of placing the images within her hair would work wonders for balancing the first image properly. For the second image, the decisions may be a little trickier. To keep the consistency among the images, I would either have to replace the second image entirely, or keep it, but place the scriptures within his robes. To be honest, I feel more inclined to go for the robe imagery. I feel like it could work well with the themes of the first image. Now the third image is going to be the hardest to make a decision for. I could either place the issues I wanted to place on the DNA strands within her clothing, or I could go  forth with my original idea. I’m simply torn since it feels as though I have to choose between going for the idea I envisioned and risk it being misunderstood (sorta like my entire existence) or play it safe and go with the suggestion Dena recommended to decrease the chances of it being misunderstood. Hopefully I’ll have it decided by the next post.
