When moving on to this section of our Gothic Horror brief I was very excited at the prospect of creating our own characters. I loved watching some of my favourite shows to inspire me, while also getting to learn about new series, some of which I had never heard of. As well as this initial research I got to delve in deeper with the origins of the Gothic with the show Penny Dreadful, which is true to the first Gothic horror characters. I also feel this unit let us use our imaginations more and really gave us room to stretch our ideas and skills. The only real difficulty I had was trying to keep the character true to their character description provided for us. However in the end this helped me with sticking to a brief and thinking of ways to resolve any problems I was facing. With the character Quentin I got to explore more into prosthetics, something I have never been extremely confident in, therefore my skills have now grown and I feel more confident in that area.
Over all I was really happy with this section of the course, if I was to do it again I would make sure I had enough practise to have more confidence in myself when creating these looks. This has also inspired me to make more of an effort with the costume in my images as I feel it really adds to a look and over all makes it more aesthetically pleasing.
