I think the colours and textures that I will use will change the appearance completely. Picasso's pictures are brought alive by the textures so I think that this is an extremely important part of the project.
I have been thinking about how to get the textures that I need and the idea I have come up with is to scan in various materials and newspaper, tidy them or adjust them in photoshop and then project them on to the characters using the UV editor, I will also use various bump mapping textures and method within Maya. I also have a very useful texture and lighting book for Maya from Autodesk Maya Press - Advance Maya Texturing and Lighting by Lee Lanier.
