After experimenting with the composition, differing reference images and colour palette, I eventually decided on a thumbnail outcome that I felt very happy with. I used photoshop to render the image, bringing all the separate components together by warping the dimensions and angles, re-scaling and editing the properties of certain proponents. Creating the thumbnail has helped me envision my painting in a much more detailed manner, allowing me to map out the scene in my head from a source that is constant and unwavering, the reference image is now a complete whole, for me to work with and from. By adding a grid, I am also able to more successfully and accurately transport the scene from the thumbnail to my working surface, with out fear of losing the accurate dimensions in the transferral process.
I'm really happy with how the final thumbnail turned out, I wanted the image to harbour a sinister, dark and gloomy atmosphere; which I think I've been successful in creating. Both visually and emotionally I feel satisfied with the portrayal of the tale and message I am trying to convey through the piece, and I'm now excited to start the painting phase of the project.
