The concept artist for a game I'm working on just submitted these two images, supposedly sequential. I had to ask her a few times to explain what was occuring, because I thought it wasn't clear. We intended to use her drawings as an introduction to the game, but I'm afraid that the "progression" of the images isn't exactly clear.

I think she felt bad and got a bit defensive -- "most people knew what it was right away!" I'm not so sure.

What would you change, if you could, to make it clearer??

Can you tell what's going on? Try to figure it out before scrolling down.




























































Is it clear that the first image is from "inside" a display case, looking out at her? And that the following image is from behind, looking at the same display case? And that the object above her head to the left is a mirror?

I was thrown because I thought the "walls" in the first picture were the room walls, not the walls of a "display case."
