Flight over the Forbidden Woods [EARLY WIP]

Added 2020-07-27 23:37:20 +0000 UTC

All models being used, except Medli's, are placeholders.

So I had a flash of inspiration last night, for a sizable chunk of posters, likely 8 in total. Give or take. I am aware of Rafaknight's Medli, but I thought I'd try to edit together my own, for a couple reasons.

The primary action in these will be Medli on Boko Baba action, so a lot of vine tentacles and purple slime.

One of the big goals is to try to aesthetically match these to the Wind Waker, so incorporating bloom and Cel-shading, and a lot of post-processing. It'll be difficult but I think it'll be great practice.

Second goal is to rip a few models from WW to use, the Boko baba's the big one, plus some seagulls and a few others.

So how am I going to go about it? Well here's the plan: Lay out all the scenes with placeholder models to get a vague idea of where everything should be, then use a greenscreen to crop everything out. Why? Because SFM doesn't handle lightwarps very well, and requires some very specific setups to use them correctly.

Second plan is to use Dolphin's freecam to take screencaps of the Forbidden Woods to serve as lighting reference and to use for the backgrounds. Then to heavily edit and process said background images to give a sort of matte painting effect to better suit the Cel shaded style.

I'll be sure to update you all on how this comes along, and I'm pretty far along the Cinderace as well. And I should be able to make the Gardevoir group pic soon. And lastly I have a special surprise brewing for the near future.
