First idea for Miss Havisham


This is my first design of the Miss Havisham Character. I have developed this design from my understanding and experimenting with the shape of the skull. Ive tried to make this havisham look very hollow, emphasising the idea that she hasn’t eaten in years and is frail and unhealthy. Ive kept the skin very pale and slightly yellow to enhance the idea of illness. Ive kept the eyebrows fairly natural as victorians generally didn’t fill in their brows. Ive included some scratching effect around the forehead and ears, a concept i haven’t fully worked out yet but i intend on experimenting with latex and special effects to try and create this. I think the contouring looks good but the shading around the eyes needs some work as it looks a little more fashion than theatrical. Ive included some cracking and soreness around the nose and mouth which i think is appropriate because I think Miss Havisham would have these kind of sores due to lack of movement, her skin would become stiff and crack from poor hygiene.
