Scene one artstyle fixing

Image.1: This was one of the old versions of the first scene. I had a lot of trouble with getting this scene to blend in with the overall scenes of my artstyle.


I then went back into photoshop and redid my textures using paint like brushes and texture brushes. I also painted the masks this time instead of using the eclipse tool because I was making them too round and crisp which didn't fit in at all with the overall artwork.
Image.2: Here you can see the final version of my first scene. I am really happy with the outcome and it really blends into my video stystyle so much better.

Update: texture redo

After Monday's class I jotted down all the notes that everyone commented on my work today.
The major thing was that my scene 1 of the animation didn't match the artstyle in comparison with the rest of the scenes.

Notes on what to change for scene 1:

sky: change black colour/ stars and galaxy to add depth

style: *Hand paint all textures/ rockets/ masks for earth and moon

earth: Add clouds?

moon: fix texture

shadows: sharper

rockets: scale them smaller as they fly back towards earth.


Also other tips I got from the lecturer's regarding final video output format:
720x576
Quick Time
Format: H.264 or MPEG-4 VIDEO



**Also I redid the World map textures. :) In this final version I got hands down and painted every detail with photoshop. After that I added some textures with some texture brushes I have and in the end added some clouds. I also had to edit the composition of both the edges so it would be streamless for animation.
