Portal to Land of Misfit Toys
THE BEST PLACE TO BE IS...HAPPY
Three toys go on the journey of a lifetime to discover the mythical Portal to Land of Misfit Toys, where no one is an outcast. Along the way, they discover everyone has their own feelings of being an outsider and that if they are happy within themselves, no matter where they are, they belong.
Inspired by Coraline, Laika Studios
Art of Reference
Turned out that this reference was a bit challenging. The movie poster scene was not an actual scene in the film but had some artistic liberties added to it.
This was truly a test of my understanding of color and color relativity.

Testing Work
Throughout the process, it is important that work is checked against the reference to be sure on track. One such test is the 'threshhold test.'
