Continuing on with the marathon towards August 31st!
Reusing a suit-and-tie torso design to create the general's military uniform.
I pulled out a variety of decorated tiles to use as military ribbons on the uniform.
There are still one or two left to build, but design on all of the backer caricatures is complete!
My flight home from Bricks by the Bay was delayed by 2+ hours, so I did some design work at the airport. This is a Photoshop template I use to draft basically all of the face designs. It's especially useful for those that are based on real people.
I'm also now realizing that I should have taken a wider photo, because the context for this being taken at the airport is lost. It's the airport, trust me.
I built this mini dropship for the "Future War" scene so that there could be something flying in the background. We'll see whether I have enough time to actually composite it into the shot.
I also re-purposed a PaganoPuppet (more reuse!) for background of the scene with the government agents. It felt a little weird to build a modern-day weapon (particularly given The LEGO Group's stance on present-day war toys), but I wanted it to be the exact rifle used by the government agents in the film "E.T." so that the joke would work.
What is the joke, you ask? You'll see in 40 days.
