This one looks nice, hopefully the grand-master will agree.

I like the blue-ness, apparently that is a calming colour and lowers your blood pressure which could really help, if in the future, you post things that anger our tutors. lol.

Unit 3 Interim Online Review - 15/12/09

Hi Earl,

You're looking much more comfortable with the challenges of Unit 3 - which is good to see; that said, I do still want you to invest in improving your 2d 'pre-production' stuff; don't go down the route of 'retroactive' concept art (in which you create work 'after' all the decisions have been made to simply satisfy the wishes of the 'grand-master' haha!). The point about concept art is that, put simply, it is art direction and production design combined - a means of understanding the scene before its construction begins; it may never be a strength of yours, but I don't see why it should remain a weakness.

Your scene - that plays knowingly on the 'unheimlich' element of childhood spaces - looks as if it's shaping up well; something else for you to look at: check out the 1973 photoseries 'The Bogeyman' by photographer Duane Michals.

In general terms, I think you could still make much more of your online journal and be more investigative; for the remainder of this unit, I want you to use this space exhaustively as you move towards completion; let's see all your research and development as you resolve this scene; for an example of student blogs that leave no stone unturned, please browse

oh - and regarding the blog, the 'grand-master' says 'yes'!
