Initial Inspiration Images

All of these images inspire me in various ways... what I'm hoping, is by collecting everything I can for the next few months, it will help me explore the look and feel of my project in terms of style and technique. I've been (and still am) very unwell with a chest infection, so I thought I would post some of the images I have so far, so I can discuss my project in my tutorials this week (if able) by using this blog, I hope to start my sketchbook by the middle of this week.

Research Question 2: Refined

whilst investigating various ways of engagement between a character and the user/viewer, Can interaction and virtual emotion enhance the way we think about advertisement messages?
