I'll make this short. I'm exhausted.
I have a week to get this side design done. This is the closest it's been to the initial concept art. I'm generally happy with the composition and feel of it, but there's still alot to be done.
-The background columns are photoshop cutouts. I have yet to model them in 3d, and add the cityscapes on top.
-The color correction, or just plain lighting all around, was thrown in for color scheme purposes. It's still very basic, very flat, and very off kilter with the background.
-The geometry in the clouds (together as a whole) still doesn't look stylistically systematic. Some have more shading than other underneath, and others are way too bubbly for my tastes... the one in the middle bothers me the most!
-The stars aren't morphed into shape. I'd like to hand-morph each one individually to give them their own uniqueness.
-The piece isn't entirely quads, so that I can't bring it into the texturing software, yet. And, yes, I still need to map out the UVs. (Sigh) But, I am looking forward to experimenting with how I want to texture the image. I've had enough time to think about it while model my sorry life away.
So, to cut it short and sweet, there's still a lot to do. Some tasks I may breeze through faster than other tasks. ***I need to worry most about the most important... I need to take a step back and stop looking so up close.***
It's crunch time, now.
Because if I don't get it done this week, I may not be able to get to it for another couple weeks. And in another couple weeks, I want to be able to move onto the next step... Incorporating more design elements (in the text/header and so on) and, hopefully sooner rather than later, mixing those elements together into flash.
I'll save the animation for last, because I figure once I can see the site as a whole, I'll get more of a feel for how I want to approach the animation-- what will draw the most attention and what I'd like to keep sutle.
So, as promised, here it is so far. I hope that you like it.
