Here are some screenshots I took a couple of days ago of developing my mobile lights. I’ve also decided to re-use the fish model for now since I have nothing better to replace it with!
Here is a shot of my first light, not doing very much interesting.

Over the weekend I made an effort to get as much of the body of my Narrative Project done. Essentially the concept will be a parody of traditional fantasy/fairytale like storytelling, and an opportunity to let off some steam from the formal writing required for my Dissertation.
To go with this, my story needed an image for use as background (or cover), so I seized the moment to do a quick sketch of my concept.
My ‘book’ will be based on rewritten code for my gallery, and made to look as tangible and booklike as possible through the use of styles and fonts.
