The Masque

A portfolio practice assignment where we had to adapt something from classic literature. I chose good ol' Eddy Allen Poe's story The Masque of the Red Death. Instead of an empty cloak that contained plague, I wanted it to be a sort of creature that unfolded, plant-like, to reveal horrible innards and petals that spewed plague-ridden blood. This took a looooooong time to plan out and went through many stages of development. As usual I got rather hung up on making the mechanics of the unfolding actually work.

I'm enjoying the Halloween season already.
