7x7 Brief - more progress!

So having showed these images to Ian and Gary and receiving positive feedback about the idea, I decided to make my own pattern and try and include elements of the story within the pattern. So it was essentially a pastiche of a Victorian pattern but it would include elements from the story such as a skull (to symbolise death), street lamps, the stairs (that the main protagonist falls down to his death) and his pocket watch. The first image I have included is one of my attempts at this, and the second one is another go at making my own pattern but this time only including the skull and the stairs.
