Been working on a Short(ish) story. Takes place in a land like you see in the image.
Thanks to you guys who helped me learn to use my own models in TG2, and for all the other help. Hope you like it.

Thanks guys!
More from this to come. I hope some animation tests too.
Wow, this looks *awesome*! Could come right out of the (newer, Tim Burton) Alice in Wonderland. Great detail and "atmosphere". I just want to see a bigger render. :D

Great job.........I really like this a lot. It does look very Tim Burtonesque.
very nice!
What an excellent image. Great models and textures and a powerful atmosphere - well done!
Great, Badger! Looking forward to the animation (and a bigger still).
First class image , TheBadger :)
very nicely done :) Bigger and moving ;)
Richard
Great work, I really like it :)
Very, Very well done!!
Excellent
Reminds me of the new Alice in Wonderland, or that one area by the same name in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Very nice.
Made me drool all over my keyboard ;D Great render. Where can I find the mushrooms?
I'm with Simius Strabus...great 'shrooms, great pic!
:)
Finely done!
Looking very good!
Thanks so much guys! As its probably painfully clear, I'm a huge fan of the work that you all do. So it gives me a lot of encouragement to hear you like what I'm doing.
I want you all to see it bigger too, but I want it to be seen as an animation. The print size I'm saving for a print, but the other shots from this I'll post larger.
Thank you.
i like this very, very, very much Badger, well done. :)
like the lighting, along with atmosphere.
looking forward to a larger render render. ;)
did you make the mushroom models? their very well made imo.
did these a long time ago in my early days of using TG2

Yes, the mushrooms are all mine. I am thinking about making them available at some point. But they are the first models I have ever done. The next ones will be better.

great job for your first models...they look fabulous, keep us posted if you decide to share!
:)
cheers

Really like what you've started here. Certainly hope there will be more coming.
Great all over! :D
Very impressing!
the Path leading into the picture gives it some feeling of a story waiting behind the next mushroom or toadstool.
Great!
Best Regards,
Jan
I very like this one. Good work!
Awesomeness.

Still trying to choose a style for this effort.

We'll see.

Shit man, this is amazing work. Looks so surreal real ;)
I like 'updated 1' and 'variation 2' the most. Some great color grading there.
If you'd render this 720p resolution, what's the rendertime per frame and what's your system spec?
I think we should animate this with a slightly moving camera. Don't you think so too? ;)
Cheers!
Oo'
excellent !!!!
variation 2 is awesome !
Great images TheBadger :)
Excellent work, my favourite is Variation2.

Cant access video this side of the pond but I would "have" to say that your in very good company :)

Great! I like the styling of Variation 2 the best. Gives it the most surrealistic look I think.
So, like everyone else my favorite is Variation 2. The others seemed a bit well gloomy in comparison.
Another vote for Variation #2.
- Oshyan
Wauw! That is an excellent job you pulled off, TheBadger!
Hey guys, thanks for helping me out with feed back!
The images I have shown are important, because how I decide to go from here will define the look of the whole project.
The place your looking at in these images are part of an ecological (can't think of the term) area that exists between a forest and a prairie. That is, its supposed to be like that area, with mushrooms rather than trees and bushes and stuff.
I'm working on the deep forest tonight. and you can see the "prairie" area starting (look closely) in the background of image one p.1 The "deep forest" is behind you in both views.
I have done a ruff production schedule for this, and Im looking at one year maybe 1 and 1/2 years to finish if I do everything by my self. :-[ But I think that it will be better to have finished in a year than to have not done it at all. ;D Actually, I will need to use professional services for the music and audio, but I'll worry on that later.
On variation 2. I am with you guys! The more I look at it, the more potential I see. I know that the prints will look great that way, just not sure about the animations. Easy enough to find out though, once the animations tests are done.
Imagine the prints on hand made artist paper, printed by Gum bichromates, or color transfer, or Liquid emulsion 8) Lots of fun!
@cyphyr
try a US based proxy like http://hidemyass.com/ ...something like this may work. or try youtube. Its worth the effort (i think) funny as heck! maybe google colbert/William Tapley
@CatfishEatist
Gloomy may make sense though. You have to imagine an army of "animal human hybrids" marching down the path two by two, in goose step. And carrying spears. Obviously they are on their way to the next village to slaughter and conquer. :-X
@Tangled-Universe,
I believe I can get a render down to an hour, at or near the size you mentioned (maybe). And yes, a slight camera movement, like a gentle floating, or carful hand held feeling may be just perfect. I also want the fog to drift ever so slightly. And its not the plan, but a little wind on a few of the green plants my really help. I am also working on *insects* like fireflies and a butter fly in Element 3d and a modeling program, but that will be composited.
When and if all of this comes together, I think I will have something pretty sweet.
P.S.
I should say my ambition is to make a pilot episode for a animated cartoon series for "adult swim" I hope to be able to put enough footage together for 3-5 episodes. And if the pilot fails, then to re-edit the episodes into a single feacher, to try and sell.
Episodes without commercials would be like 19min, 22 with credits, 30 with commercials.
I know this sounds terribly ambitious, and far far fetched. But what else am I supposed to do with an art degree and a film degree. Work at McDonalds? Ok, Ill work there if I have to, but every dollar I make is going to this project. ;D
Anyway, even if I completely fail, I'll still have a hell of a demo!
*edited for clarity
Excellent!!! Variation 2 is my favorite. A beautiful realization.
