The final project for illustration 1 was to create four illustrations for a story called "The Circular Ruins." The story seemed to me like a mashup of Frankenstein, Indiana Jones and Inception. I can see the cinematic influences in these pieces. During crit, what I learned most from these pieces is that I need to learn how to better contrast my warm and cool colors and that most people seem to prefer simple flat colors than my attempts at rendering and lighting.
