Ava - "Awakening"

​

This image of Ava is set at the end of book one, after the harrowing events of that fateful morning. There are things just doesn't understand, and more that she simply can't reconcile. While the walls crumble around her and the morning silence shattered, she must cope with the events, and one way or another...move forward.

​

Ava is the pivotal character for most of the season, and of the series as a whole; so naturally, I had to choose her to be my first 'concept drawing.' The process took a total of about 16 hours, spread over a week or so. I made a few mistakes along the way, but learned even more! 

​

The model used was gracious and supportive the entire way, and I can't thank her enough for giving me the confidence to complete this project. I struggled initially, but in the end, am very satisfied with the results.
