I had another Talk with Mark, and we wondering weather it was a good idea it use a book that is so highly stylised and illustrated already. As there would be lots of temptation to use Chris Riddles amazing illustrations of the Edge world as inspiration and reference for my Dioramas. Mark suggested strongly that I pick a new book/ story to do environmental dioramas for.
This made be sad as my heart was really set on doing Dioramas expressing scenes/ environments from the world of the edge chronicles, but I understood his worry's. However my friend showed me some work in which a student had made a 3D model of studio Ghibli's Howls moving Castle, and although it was obviously that, the modelling and texturing was all the students own work and skill.
Perhaps it would be possible to build upon the already existing media of Chris Riddell's illustrations in 3D as long as I made it very much my own by executing the 3D and texturing side things. Perhaps its the nostalgia of having reading these books when I was younger that attracts me to doing this, but if so the nostalgia would also effect any other fans of the edge chronicle's who happened to see my work.
I need to have a think which would be the best thing to do, Ill have a think about other books that I have read and interesting environments I could create from them. 'Sigh'
