Driftwood Island

[Terro]

This is going to be a mini short I'll try to push out before the winter :) Watching Pyrats reminded me of Monkey Island and I decided to make a small animation that also revolves around Pirates.

Not much done today. Just made the title screen and a tiny water ripple. I'm also thinking of sticking with this music score. It's from one of the MI games.

Not bad, Greg.

Try adding very subtle movement to the ship.;)

[Terro]

Thanks guys. I'll try to push in some other updates as soon as I can. I don't think I'll be adding to the BG, I'm working on the animation of introducing one of the characters.

I set up a nice online workspace for myself, where I can develope a storyline and characters as well as post updates. http://www.gk-concepts.com/driftwood

hey greg,
looks good but one thing is a bit off I think the T in driftwood it's all wrong it doesn't read right. other than that it's cool

[Terro]

Thanks for the feedback August. I've been thinking about changing the title style myslef, the T does throw you off. I want it to look more woody. This is the first time I'm actualy doing my own font :D

During the last week I've managed to laydown a storyboard for the opening scene of Driftwood. I haven't scanned it in since it's on a huge sketch pad that wont fit in my scanner. But I will resketch it digitally sometime this week.

Anyhow , the adventure starts on a tropical vacation island called Driftwood Island. We are first introduced to Guybrush Threepwood
as he awakens in the aniversary/love suite with a killer hangover due to a night filled with grogg and lust with his lovely wife Elaine Marley.
As he turns his head to glance at his lovely companion , he is shocked to instead be staring at a note stabbed to her pillow by a pirates blade.
Guybrush reads the note , stands up, turns pale and faints, realizing that another heroic rescue adventure lays ahead.

Terro, are you using black colours for shadows? I've probably said that before, but I don't think it's the best way to go.

Also, you don't seem to be confident enough with your last piece. Loosen up, go crazy. And like Nubian said, try a more interesting perspective.

Greg,

Looking good.....but where is the depth I'm used to seeing in your BG's? Are you not finished with this?

cart:D

[vicjperry]

Yeah, add some perspective and you should trim your toenails, clean your room, fix the toaster, brush your teeth.........:rolleyes: Looks great to me, then again, what the hell do I know?
