More progress!

So, there's a lot missing in the foreground and yeah I don't know about that tree being so close the screne. I'll have to to work on that. At any rate, here's my background progress so far. It may not seem like a whole lot but those trees take a while a to make. I made about 11 and I'm wondering if I should make more....do they repeat to much?! Does it bother anyone that there cliff on the right have a very visible line down the middle? I'm thinking about touching it up in Photoshop? Please let me know what you think. I know its not finished but talk about what's there and not what isn't there.

Testing out background

This is not a complete background its just a test of the sky I made in Maya. Not much of an atmosphere YET, but its well on its way.

Dinosaur cut outs I found.

What a marvel concept we have here. Dinosaurs in cut out form. I love it.

So there's no mistake about designs.

And for whatever reason blogger wants them sideways.

Finished animatic.

Well here's my animatic. I plan on redoing it or at least certain parts. It's extremely rough at this point but hopefully the overall story comes through. I realize that the first part is difficult to see, but until I fix that image that's the best quality I have at this point.

The overall story is about the dragon origin and how dinosaurs played a role in creating these mythology creatures. It starts off on a Medieval tapestry telling the story of a terrible dragon that destroys the village, and then it pans over to a skeleton of the dinosaur(the main character). I have so recent changes in whats going to happen next, but a bird flies by and as it flies over the ocean it turns into a pteranodo. She flies to her nest and the babies hatch. I think most of the story is pretty clear from there. The Compsognathus tries to get to them by trying to fly using leaves as wings and dies. After the credits a Medieval farmer digs up the skeleton which ties it back to the beginning with the tapestry and the skeleton there. I think....

Just a little more progress.

Here's a few more examples of process.

Backgrounds in progess.

Well here are my sketches for nearly all(three missing) backgrounds I need to make. Still not sure if I want to do the painted backgrounds or do a fabric background. I might just do a little of both.
