It's been AGES since I posted!! This was done a while ago and I decided to post it anyway. Might take a lil while to load, depending on your connection... I'll work on a lo-res in the meantime :)
Here's the update from below. I took it into Shake and tweaked the colours a fair bit. Completely changed the tones of the warm hues to a colder unwelcoming colour. I added glows and compression to the mid and background to give the room a more musky dusty atmosphere.
This is a rough lighting concept for my next animation. I tried to see how natural light would motivate the scene, dusky is usually pretty atmospheric.
I might try an alternative florescent look to it with cooler blues and greens. More variants coming soon...
Here's an update on my character. I just "finished" the facial expressions with textures. He's almost ready to animate. The rigging process was a nightmare! Ugh! But it all paid off nicely in the end; I know this guy will be fun to animate.
