Some problems encountered today:
First - the light did not go through my cardstock correctly. I used a piece of paper to diffuse the backlight, but I didn't cut out a hole around where the head was (like I did in my concept imagery). So I will have to figure out a different way to diffuse the light or to get light into her head. There is also problems of shadow showing up but I don't mind that so much. But I need to get the light composed properly.
Second - paint on glass has a nice aesthetic but in this case I am on the fence about the sharp black and white contrast. I cannot get the nice gradation that was in the concept imagery. Maybe this has to do with the paint I am using - it is just tempera. I wonder if gouache would be better. I really like the paint texture on the paper but it would be terribly time consuming to paint papers individually. It is really key to get the right gradation around her for the halo effect so I want to investigate that more.
I did get an image I liked when I cut out the paper and took a still photo. This is more along the lines of what I want ..
