So Many Projects!!!

I have somehow got myself involved in too many personal projects. I just keep getting excited about something new and beginning it. I have the Baby Dragon short animation, the Rowers of the Night dream comic, the 24 hour comic I began last week (and didn't quite finish... more about that later I suppose) and now I am full swing into a quick cloth and look development test animation. I have decided to focus on one project at a time until completion. First up is the cloth test. Its a short animation with very little story. I am going for round two on the Pixar simulation TD residency and wanted something to add to the reel since the last time they looked at it. Basically the short is a character in a hooded cloak trudging up a snowy hill. Right now its a 3 shot sequence. I have always been interested in incorporating painterly looks to animation and thought this was a perfect opportunity. This weekend I worked on two of the background paintings for the short. They are near completion but I am always open to critiques if you have them...
