During the modelling stages of this model, I decided to add in faux eye sockets in the folds of the Coconut Shy's Roof. The decision for this was to try and make the tent itself seem more imposing and scary. It was also inspired by Oogie Boogey from "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and the Sorting Hat from "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone". The reason for this change was simply that when someone feels uneasy or scared, their imaginations tend to lead them to see things that aren't really there.
One note, the store seems empty as there will be "Prizes" within the stalls shelves but these are to be repeated countless times on other stalls so will be modelled as individual props. The Sign on the front however is not complete but until the Helter Skelter is complete, it will have to wait to be finished.
With regards to my schedule, I am only one day behind my sheduled plan, which I believe will be easily caught up with as in two weeks time I have two days scheduled for catch up, Thursday and Friday. The delay with this weeks production was necessary as the art style for texturing needed to be decided on and learned.
The Art Style for the Buildings boils down to a simple colour layer, overlayed with a real world material, with some of the nuances painted in by hand.
Next Week I have Scheduled the Circus Tent and starting on the Ferris Wheel on Thursday.
