Feedback
The main points from the feedback session was that the Grundy cover represented the style well but the concept wasn't successfully portrayed unless explained. Additionally, I want to rework the Vaughan Oliver final piece as there is missing highlights across the outcome that would appear in his work.

After experimenting with different overlay effects to lighten the figure, I've settled with this as the new final outcome for Little Women in the style of Vaughan Oliver. I applied similar effects to the text to ensure this didn't get lost too against the darker background.
