Valentina and Emilia were not your ordinary 7-year-old twins. They were quite different.
It wasn’t because they were conjoined, but rather because they thought everyone else should be.
It started off innocently enough, with them tearing apart their dolls and giving them extra heads, just like them.
But that got boring fast.
My original intent was to have one of the characters from the video game be coming out of the TV screen, but the 80’s video game zombies looked too cheesy for the look I was going for (refer to picture below). Therefore, I decided to remove that screen and have a blank screen with a black figure trying to get out of the TV – and part of it actually succeeding.
I decided to make a pair of conjoined twins for today’s prompt. I wanted them to be young and sweet looking, but for there to be a macabre scene around them. (I still need to create the macabre elements.)
After I worked on the TV and posted it online, I realized that a TV is not an appliance. Oh well, I made a lamp previously, which is an appliance.
Today’s challenge was a bit difficult. I knew I couldn’t create the onscreen video game, without creating the TV, which is meant to be part of another prompt. But it was also easy in that it would be a fast one, allowing me to add more details to the bedroom (formerly known as a living room).
The creation of this doll was a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. Mostly because I decided to create an animation that would show arachnophobia and that required changing the eyes, mouth, eyebrows and arms. (Scroll all the way down to watch the animation.)
This challenge was a lot more time consuming than some of the others, but I expected that since it was one of the main sets from the 6 light boxes I will be creating during this month.
