Major Project update

Below is the first frame of my short 2D pulling sledge animation which is a major part of Act 3. I have finished drawing all the frames, all I need to do now is apply colour and a few little things to them.


Modelling update.

Major Project update

Below are a few thumbnails showing the different parts of Piramesse that I'm thinking of including in my project. However, the building colours are not definitive of course. I may have something that appeals more to the 12+ age group.












Since I needed to incorporate some animation into the project in order to demonstrate how the ancient Egyptians moved their city to a different location, I was thinking of going for 2D animation this time. However, this meant that I would have to choose a suitable style to base the people drawings on, since there were several drawing styles in ancient Egypt. So I began to experiment with some of the styles that existed at the time, below are some examples of some of the drawing styles I based my people drawings on.






Once I finished my quick drawings I began to think about which design would be suitable for my needs. Out of the five designs the top two designs stood out, so I decided to focus only on those two. Even though the top right one appeared a bit more detailed it didn't go well with what I had in mind, however, the top left one did pretty well.


Here are two images of the modelling in progress. The images depict the palace of Ramesses II.
