B*tch Slap

Scene 3

Sooo close to finishing this shot, but alas I must sleep. Life drawing and fund raiser later today!

Star

Part of the title sequence I've just finished... and am no longer sure will be used...

Scene 2

Simulated Lens Flare

I've been making and collecting various elements to build a good looking lens flare for my title sequence. The final thing won't be this intense or realistic mind you, this was just testing out the elements to see if they could create something more real than simple shapes or filters. The final one should be simple and subtle, probably only noticeable when the camera moves.

Scene 2 Playblast

Just need to sort the textures and lighting and then this baby's getting rendered!

After that I just need to composite the 2D animation to the window on the ship and then add engine and cannon fire effects!

Scene 9 Complete

Cleanup - One for the Log

Did my first cleanup in Photoshop today with the Wacom (as opposed to inking over the pencils on paper) and dammit, it works better. I can onion skin and get in as close as I want to keep the lines tight and in place. Takes slightly longer and involves staring at a computer screen for ages, but it yields neater, less wobbly/boily animation.

My constantly expanding studio space. I'm gonna be sad when it comes time to take it all down.
