Thanks, May! I completely understand given that the project was launched later than intended.

Looking forward to your first pass!

Hi Gaby!

Apologies for the delay on the first pass, I may have confused the given deadline dates. I’ve uploaded my roughs for the Holiday EOY 2024 BG as well as uploading it to the backgrounds folder. If it’s alright, I’m a little uncertain with how my sketches are tying into the holiday/EOY theme, so I might try a few more compositions and send those tomorrow asap!

If there’s any issues or concerns, please let me know and thank you!

Sounds good. Thank you, Bianca!

We'll review your first draft and, as usual, feedback will be given by Wednesday!

Hello all!

I've attached my most current version of the Holiday Card BG rough sketches, with newly added thumbnails. I've also uploaded the sketches to the corresponding backgrounds folder.

If there's any concerns or issues, please let me know and thank you!

Kind regards,

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Thank you, Bianca! Looks like 1 is the top choice- you can proceed to color roughs for this one. You can submit the next pass on Sunday, 10/20 at 11:59 PM PT.

As for 6, could you work on refining this piece a bit more and send it in earlier than the review cycle?

@May Lee If you need more time to work on your piecm, you may submit for next review on Sunday, 10/20 at 11:59 PM PT instead! If you have them earlier in the week, we may review them as well to speed up the process. Let me know what works best for you!

Hey Gaby, 

Apologies, I think I need a bit more time, my work schedule was a bit busier than expected. I’ll be sure to get something to you by the end of the week. 

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much for sending your work in! The team will be reviewing what we have so far and you can expect to hear back from me by Wednesday.

Cheers,

Hi Bianca and May,

Reviews are done and everything looks great so far! You can refer to SyncSketch for small notes.

• @May Lee - Proceed with BG 2 but let's replace the tree with a string of lights and be sure to keep the mascots on model
  
• @Bianca Bancolita - Everything looks great, continue to work on both backgrounds. Let me know how your bandwidth is looking!

Please continue to work on these until the next review date on Sunday, 10/27 at 11:59 PM PT. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Amazing, amazing work!

I'm looping in the new Comms/Marketing team as well, since they'll be shadowing our process as we transition!

[Bianca Bancolita]

Hi Gaby!

I wanted to ask as I’ve had some family things unexpectedly come up and so, if it would be possible to request a one day extension and hand in my progress on Monday for this week’s review? 

Thank you and apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Hi Bianca,

Hope everything is okay, and yes an extension is fine!

Hey Gaby!

My apologies, I was a bit swamped this weekend with LightBox, so I wasn't able to get a pass on the notes. Could I get them to you EOD tomorrow? Thanks!

[Bianca Bancolita]

Hi all!

Thank you very much firstly  for the extension! I've attached my current progress for the two EOY 2024 BGs - For the frozen lake BG, I've refined some of the details whereas for the nighttime city BG, I've only gotten around to considering and putting down the kind of colour palette I'm thinking of using for it.

If there's any issues or concerns, please let me know and I look forward to your feedback!

Kind regards,

Hi May and Bianca,

These look amazing!! I can't wait to see the final output along with the graphics!

You can expect to hear from us some time this week. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Have a great week ahead,

Hi everyone,

Everything looks good! Let's continue to work on these until the next deadline.

@May Lee - The mascots are still a little off model, I'm attaching a drawover below.

@Bianca Bancolita - If you would like to focus on just one background, that would be fine! Let me know which one you decide to work on.

Let's aim for an update on Sunday, 11/3 at midnight PT, before the Creative Team meeting. Let me know if either of you have any questions!

Excellent job!

[Bianca Bancolita]

Hi Gaby!

Duly noted - I’ll keep working more with the frozen lake BG for the meantime since it’s the further developed of the two! In the chance I have some new updates with the second BG, I’ll make sure to send it your way.

Thanks again!

Sounds good. Do let me know of your bandwidth since your workload will be getting a bit heavier with 4P related things!

[Bianca Bancolita]

Hi Gaby!

Here's my progress update for the EOY holiday BG - in regards to your previous email about my bandwidth, I should be good to complete the BG for EOY 2024 if I only focus on just the one I've been currently sending progress on in order to balance out and still keep up to date with my incoming 4P assignments, so I think I'll have to unfortunately drop the second EOY 2024 BG.

If there's any concerns or issues, please let me know and looking forward to your feedback!

Hi Bianca,

No worries at all! Thank you for letting me know.

You can expect feedback on the EOY background sometime this week!

Hi everyone,

It looks like we're all set to wrap up both of you on this project! We truly appreciate all the hard work you've put in, your splash art and backgrounds look stunning, as always.
