Hi Katy - well, I couldn't be more pleased really with how proactively and how creatively you've pushed your development along this time around. You've been much more productive, much more engaged and much more curious about finding answers to creative problems and this, in essence, is the pivotal lesson of CGAA year one - to meet challenge and conceptual difficulty with both curiosity and activity (as opposed to with anxiety and inactivity!).
Your final concept painting establishes lots of technical challenges for you in terms of production, but I like the scale and the grandeur and I encourage you to work as determinedly to realise it as best you can in 3D. I must admit to being slightly taken aback when I saw that your hero prop was a cat! But the idea is growing on me more and more - the idea that the 'nature spark' is a feline cared for by (i think) an enormous woodlouse creature or similar is nuts - in a good way :D
More generally, your professionalism and polish has improved too: I think you're growing in confidence and it shows, and it's great to see, and I just encourage you to keep at it and seek to become a creative force with which to be reckoned.
I've had a read over of your reviews - and they're still letting you down a bit in terms of typos and grammar and inconsistencies. It looks like you're typing directly into blogger, but I'd suggest working in Word (so you get the spelling and grammar prompts) and then exporting as a PDF and then uploading as a Scribd document. Your grammar is obviously not so hot right now - acknowledge it, improve it.
Generally - well done, Katy, I look forward to the next 4 weeks...
