Halloween Schmalloween
 

Heya SM :)

I found this old scene a while ago and decided to make something of it. The scene originally had only the one house without any trees or any objects. I have done abit of work to it allready, and decided to go for a short. The short is called "Halloween Schmalloween"

More about the story and characters soon. At the moment I am working on the scene. Here are a few preview pics of what the city, called "Smookton" is looking like thus far. :)

Very Tim Burtonish ;)

Mills

Long time no see, but great work as always, loads of character, and I love the style :)

Ain't this one of your old comp. entries?

Heya Blomkaal :)

Heya dude, how have you been? I hope all is well....Thanks for the kind words ;) Yeah, this was for the halloween comp a few months back, I just never completed it, so now I have "resurrected" it and have added to it... See ya :)

Mills :)

Nice, very stylish.

Your trees are top notch. I LOVE monochrome!
Can't wait to see what you add to this.

Thnks Alienscience and Swankymonkey :) Updates to come soon......

Cool, This looks like fun project. I like it so far.

Mills

Sweet, I remember this from before. As doodle says its very Tim Burton look forward to some characters in the scene too. Keep the Sepia effect on the whole shot as it really adds to the look but maybe give it more of a moonlite with long shadows and the outer edge of the image alot darker. Add some bump maps for stone too but no color maps.

Later

Jay!

Heya Jay, thanks for the compliment :) I hope all is well on your side :) I think I am going to keep the sepia effect. I am also thinking of adding in some really cartoony looking textures to some objects...and keeping the main scene this colour, but yeah, thanks again and will definately take your tips and suggestions and incorporate them.

See ya,

Mills

Awsome job! Looks a bit Tim Burton'ish. I would like to see it textured.

Thnx THX1138, greatly appreciated :)

I have had a few free hours before the new projects arrived, so I did a bit more work to the scene :) Here is where it is at now....

Heya Toxic bunny :)

I am doing cool, just been really busy recently....anyways, how are you doing? and what u been up to? I hope all is well...Thanx for your kind words :) Much appreciated....I have a few ideas for some characters, and will begin work on them once I am done with this scene :) Thnx again :) See ya :)

Mills :)

A pleasure bro :) Been doing pretty well, unfortunatly
I'm busy studying and writing songs
at the moment so modeling is going very slow... :(

Our gig is pretty soon, on the 7th October at the Blues Room
in Sandton... will let you know more details later, be cool if you
could come watch :) need the support :beer:

Your scene will go well with a "Nightmare before Xmas"
and "Corpse Bride" style characters,
try adapt/adopt something like that
and make it in your own style... it will be freaking awesome.
:nod: :) :attn:

Keep well bro
Later :)
