Some photos of the bugs inside my little doll...
Using a Nikon D3200 DSLR camera and two zennox studio lights.
A ribcage too? Bring back the heart? Too busy? Too boring? I made smaller butterflies so they'd be more proportional to the rest of the body but it's now just quite empty. Humph. The good thing about this process of image-making is that I can very easily change the composition, change the butterflies and just take the photo again without having to scrap any drawings or completely start again.
Only putting this one up to demonstrate how horrible it is. A really ugly angle that accentuates her nose and ears, this doesn't work!
Playing with background space, pose, shadow amount and direction of gaze. I think she needs to be central - as I've drawn in my roughs - but I wanted to take some alternative angles just in case there was another solution that worked better. There isn't.
I like the ribcage because it brings back the scientific theme and highlights the idea that it's a cross-section image rather than these butterflies just being on top of her skin. Since the body on this little doll wasn't as concave as the big one, I think the ribcage bones were really needed to shout that part of the concept.
