Production began today :)

Today marked a special day for me. In the fact that I enjoyed it highly, I was able to get back in the lab at ATC and start modeling again for my sequel to my animation Little Astronauts. And launch my grand scheme to send them more abroad to our Red Giant, Mars

And as soon as i got in there I really felt the creativity start to flow all over again it felt great :) Just like old times with my teacher still there too he's a great guy. So the production began great with me already being able to model and set up the astronaut Helmet and Mars enough so that I was actually able to render a promos shot for it. The helmet design (although not very visible) was based off of a recent pic I found of a Pressure suit of an astronaut and to me it rather seems more up to date than my previous model helmet as seen in this early rendering The art style is once again going to approach the light hearted cartoon/cel shaded style of the original with a bit more detail in the material to capture a semi-realistic quality, suchs of course the reflection on the helmet and the texture on the ground. For me this was a great day for modeling kind indeed and I'm planning to enter in the first (or second) animation in the NASA art competition for the next year to actually hopefully let people truly see my ambitions. Please do enjoy when the Little Astronauts plant their little boots on Planet Mars. I'm shooting for 3 minutes long and a lot of detail is gonna be put into this to make sure that even the most discerning critic would really take the time to appreciate it in it's regard.

I'm just glad today went so well in that aspect. Wish me luck in my coming months of development. :)
