My animatic was created and I took this week to try fix it up and give it more shots to smooth everything out and fix the timing, as mine was very off and you could tell straight away something wasn’t right.
To fix the timing, i added in even more shots, such as a side view of the Anglerfish Child’s eye at the start of the animation, looking down at the creature infront of her, before cutting to her reaction to the creature.
above is my animatic fixed a little and below is just a random test i wanted to do with fire
i also drew a background, but had to change its colour pallet to a warmer tone as my first attempt was using too many cold colours and didnt fit the pallet of the animation
In the image below, I added grass, textured glowing mushrooms and other little details, as well as starting on a tree in the foreground that the character will come from behind into the scene.
My background like my Nyxer was also inspired by Warframe’s Deimos update with the infested and glowy look of the environment. I’d played a lot of this game since the new update so it was my first choice of inspiration when I heard the word “bioluminescent” as everything in this update glows and gives good examples of how to stick to a limited colour pallet.
