Ten Texture Callout

Here's a texture callout for Ten :) 

Note: Traditional fabrics include Cotton, Silk, Plant Fibers, and Hemp.

Also For ease of Skin Shading here's a helpful little paper that I found that touches on the difference in racial shading and such (which we'll probably find useful since Asian skin is rather different than a white person's skin!)

A Spectral BSSRDF for Shading Human Skin

Just a paint-over of one of my storyboards

Concept Painting

concept painting for the shot we are trying to get rendered this weekend:

super hella rough reaction machine lol

sun goddess statue is a machine that reacts to the dial/day-night change.  guardians on the side. 

haha what is perspective i'm tired

'Reaction' machine idea

Still working on it, but here, a miniature version of the world the story takes place in is in this crystal ball and when you turn the dial, the statue (a machine) turns the ball.  But the world inside stays still and the only thing that moves inside is the sun/moon.  (Based on a Hawaiian legend - the world is flat and the sky is a dome that moves around it giving day/night)

Left = East, Right = North

Mountain City Explorations

This mountain is a pile of rocks believed to have been piled by the gods.

this one on the right had more emphasis on the lights of the city

city/mountain designs

More mountain designs. Trying to get a cave with a view of the sky going. 

Statue + machine

tried combining asian-y stuff with machine stuff

Temple/Mountains concept

Temple Dial Concept Model

I made this model based on these Tibetan Buddhist mandala images. Each section of the dial has 13 sides, representing 13 different moon cycles (or it can be adjusted to however many), and the other identical sections are just placeholders (since there's only one moon). The eight steps leading into the dial arena represent the Eightfold Path prominent in Buddhism.
