Lighting test with both Lep and Drak


I have placed both of the characters in the scene to see how they look. There is a little bit more work to do. I very much like the way the light is hitting drak but it isn't shining on Lep enough. I either need to move or enlarge the light(or add an extra one) and I think I definitely need to increase the contrast of the specular map on Leps skull. Maybe even increase the contrast of the texture, or maybe its the diffuse that's messing it up? I also think there is too much fog but that is easily remedied, I just need to decrease the opacity of the fog and maybe increase its scale

card designs

Had to create some cards for a few scenes in the film. I created 11 plus the back card. Unfortunately they might need a little bit more work because the designs have become indistinct due to the amount of texturing I've done to them. They look fine in photoshop but when put under the lighting they look muddy and unreadable. I wanted an ecclectic mix of cards because I want the card game to not make any sort of sense to the audience, except that it is some sort of betting game. Although there are lots of weird things that I have on the cards I did take quite a lot of desgins from the book of kells. I enlarged pictures from the book of kells and other sources to a3 size and drew over them as I doubted that I would be able to get copyright free versions of the pictures, not to mention a decent size/resolution. Then I overlayed lots of textures, especially parchment textures.
