Element 2 Week 8:

I now sort out a new layout utilising the updated versions of my modular assets.

I asked one of my lecturers Josh for feedback on it in this current state and their primary critique was discussing the large amount of negative space and how to cut into that also suggesting to do it in an asymmetric way as the scene is currently completely symmetrical.

I decided I would give making a statue one last shot as I felt it would be a strong asset to break up the symmetry, through my further research I came across Trench Crusade a new tabletop game similar to Warhammer 40K and there is a specific heavy infantry unit which shares likeness to Space Marines so I used that alongside Space Marines as a reference for my Statue Model.

I started with the helmet and torso then worked on each side before mirroring them over.

Here is the final outcome I am pretty happy with it and feel it captures that similar essence to a Space Marine. I have the hand clutched to hold a spear I was thinking to have a sort of gunlance/gunspear sort of weapon. I can always come back to it and pose it differently for a different variation of the statue.

I also knew I wanted a Font as stated previously in my list of potential key assets from E1

This Font in particular from Salisbury Cathedral is a really cool and more modern take on a traditional Font i like the fact it has constant flowing water pouring out from it and thought I could have tha flowing into elements of the floor/altar it is apart of.

Here is the more finished version with the spout for pouring/flowing blood I also created this loop around its base that follows the stair/altar shape which could be filled with that flowing blood.
