After consultation with ms joy, I realised that I am diverting too far away from my initial direction of showing irony of an animal doing work that is against their nature for Auditor and Takoyaki seller.

Similarly, researching on body posture of penguins to help in my illustrations.
Thus back to original takoyaki seller, I observed that the sellers usually need to be quick witted and agile as they have many steps to follow hence I chose penguin, a clumsy and slow animal on land to deal with the quick pace job to depict the irony against it’s nature.
For my art approach for Auditor, the concern lies in the fact similarly to the takoyaki seller, I begin to divert too far away from the direction. Being that for auditor, they are mainly dealing with paper work resources and it is very difficult to portray, I begin to add in complicated structure and layers which resulted in a very messy scene.
I then decided to take a step back and research for the ethical values of an auditor, what they should not do and I pick up 4 traits
-Not validating for clients
-Not signing blindly for client documents
-Not accepting bribes
-Not helping client to bank in their money
Final outcome of the artwork that I have after completing the necessary changes.
The sequential order are from Auditor => Takoyaki Seller => Joss Stick Seller => Carpenter. There is a backstory on why did I chose the dull colour at first which slowly transcend to a lighter colour.
The story for the transitional sequence lies in me being an accountant diploma graduate, hence it was a clear path that auditing is a job that I will take up due to it’s high increment, but I hated my life in school and it was one of the darkest period of my life hence I chose to use a darker colour, subsequently I have the opportunity to bid for a stall in school to set up as a student venture to sell Takoyaki which unfortunately I have failed the bid, but the idea of being able to have the opportunity to be my own boss lighten my mood up.
Comes to Joss stick, it became a point where I realised that I have failed my first application to NTU ADM, where I felt that life has no meaning anymore as my efforts in building my portfolio has all gone to the drain hence I have decided to devote myself into taking over my father’s business in selling joss stick.
Lastly, after rejecton, I persevered on by interning at a design firm to build my portfolio, where I have coincidentally met a carpenter, he became my advisor and everything else was history. Thus I show this as a turning point where I sees the light, thus the colour brighten up.
