Core image with details and callouts for the corrupted Beatrice.
Initial colour tests for Beatrice. I wanted her to be pallid and sickly - just as she was in life; but amplified to an uncanny valley level of pallor - like the beginning stages of a (zombie) infection that also tied in with her cloudy eyes. I went with option three in the end!
Initial sketches and rougher renderings - quick full body study just to get the full scale of the corruption within her and how I wanted things to be coloured in addition to her dress tests.
