 In order to achieve the best possible result for Major, I need to make sure I prioritise the most important parts of the project. At the moment, the Werewolf character isn't very neccessary to the project, and I haven't figured out to fit the Werewolf into the final animation in a way that doesn't feel forced. So for now, I'm going to focus on the other parts of the project, and either not include the werewolf at all or work on her later when I have a better idea on how she'll fit into the project. As I stated in the last post, I'm currently working on the environment for the project. I decided to start with the kitchen first. I want the kitchen to be very specific to the witch character, and not just a generic witchy kitchen. To do this, I need to figure out what items need to be in the kitchen and what functions it will have besides food prep. The first step of this is going into a bit more detail about the Witches character and what she does, as the kitchen

 I found starting Major quite difficult, which was mainly because I had quite a few tasks I needed to complete for it, from Uving, texturing and rigging the Witch model, finishing the Werewolf model, concepting the environment, figuring out the style, etc. In order to make progress with the project, I figured out which part was highest priority. As this project is focusing on the environment, it became clear that the most important part was working on the environment. In order to create the environment, I needed to refine the rough ideas and thoughts I had in my head for each of the focal points of the environment, which are the garden, the exterior of the Witches house and surrounding forest, and the interior of the Witches house, specifically the kitchen. To do this, I created influence maps for each.  Garden influence map I had a very clear image in my mind for the Witches garden. I knew I wanted it to be primarily a vegetable and herb garden, as the witch lives out in the forest so
