CHEWIE's customs updated 06.22.2012

Oh I didn't notice that at first.  Yeah I think it would be cool to progressively submerge them more and more as they get closer to the middle, and then have them walking out of the water at the other bank.  Maybe you could add some glints of light after they come out of the water? 

[Ner_vod]

Whoa! at first, I didn't see all those droids behind her. It looks cool, like the droids are camoed.

I have this awful urge to show another preview pic...

Give into the dark side CHEWIE 

[CHEWIE]

Ok, I caved in.



 

[Gregorbian]

Wow, the weathering looks really good on that clone!
I like the background scenery too, is that all composited into the image or is that a straight pic?

[Ryan]

Very nice! Exceelent weathering, what clone is that? I see it's a ROTS body and a CW head, do you like the ROTS body better or do you just have more of them?

The backgorund is great, Your really are doding a perfect job of mixing the real elements with the digital ones.

[CHEWIE]

Thanks guys.  It's a ROTS Clone #41 body, then the head is from one of those 3-pks in the Clone Wars line.  I had to hollow out the helmet a little more to get the helmet to fit on right.

This particular pic is mostly "real" - the only things added in digitally are the water and the green leaf like plants.

 

[CHEWIE]

Thanks to a little help from a friend at RS, here's that one pic again with reflections in the water, and I darkened the pic some to match the drearly look to Dathomir more.



 

[Diddly]

I love it! Extremely lifelike. I love the dirty clone too!

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Diddly.  And I've done some homework on special effects this weekend with a new program I am trying to learn.  It's called Photo Impact.

I reworked that Clone pic (along with most everything else I've done so far for this story).  Here's that pic again, with some shadows from trees above.



I completed one of the Rancor sequences last night too.  Can't wait to show it...

 

[Gregorbian]

Wow, those new pics look incredible!  Great effects work, I like the reflections on the water, but the clone pic looks very cool now!

[ThePerennial]

I agree - those effects are just incredible!

[Darth Delicious]

Hey Chewie,

The new reflections in the Asajj Ventress shot look really cool... the only thing I would suggest adding is some mist around the jungle above her head.

The clone pic looks far better since you added the shadows from the jungle canopy above. VERY well done!

How long until this next chapter is done, do you estimate?

-DD

[CHEWIE]

Thanks DD, I am sure this one will be up within a week tops, if not less... really it depends on work goes this week!  After this one though, I know that it will be at least a month before I can get another one completed. 

I've spent a few hours today just on one shot, creating an important establishment shot for a location on Dathomir.
