This was very good. Definitely see the similarities to Firth, but I also noticed some differences too. For one, the storyline was quite linear. The character's depreciation into insanity was clearly marked and it evolved in a way you'd kind of expect. Ordinarily, I might see this quality and argue that it detracts from the artistry of the piece. But what really impressed me was how you incorporated small but noticeable flairs to your character models and expressions as the insanity set in; the small curvature of the lips and mouth, the more angular bone structure, etc. Of course, beetles also remind me of Kafka, and I'm going to assume you've read "Metamorphosis" because of how you developed this story. Very good work once again. I'm sure you'll receive high marks!
