Pages 13-16

 Here are my final 4 pages for my folded format

Page 13: 

At this point in the story the tone begins to shift as Louis XIV becomes more paranoid and his conscience weighs more and more heavily on him. I hope the shift of tone is apparent but not too abrupt as to disturb the flow of the story. David suggested that I add a more solid black just outside Louis's head just to make sure there is a clearer separation of line work and the messy background. I have yet to make this change but hope to do so if I get enough time. 

Page 14: 

People were not very happy with Louis at this time in France; since the start of his reign France had many ups and downs but towards the end where we are in the story now France was in ruins. Ive remembered some earlier feedback I received on another page and applied it to this one making the hands etc in the foreground darker than the images in the back to bring them forward, I hope this is effective. 

Page 15: 

Louis is on his death bed and the manifestations are strong now, fed from his building paranoia over the course of the story. There are no people with Louis in this scene, they are a figment of his imagination and I hope this is clear from the way in which I have Drawn them. Molly suggested that I add more French décor and a bit more detail into the background which I think is a good piece of feedback. I am not sure if I will have time to make these changes with only a couple of days to go on the project but I can keep this sort of feedback in mind for future projects. 

Page 16: 

My final page. Louis is overcome by his paranoia and it metaphorically kills him. This is a similar page to that of page 6 but I hope shows the progression nicely. 

Ive had lots and lots of feedback from all of my tutors on this project and its been really helpful for me and helped me to improve my work a lot. There are changes that I haven't made unfortunately, which I totally agree would be better. Id hope to get some more changes done before the deadline but realistically wont manage them all. This project so far has been immensely helpful to my progression as an illustrator, I'm learning a lot on these tasks and going out of my comfort zone.
