Today class time was cut short on workbook because we presented our animatics to two students who showed up from the music production department interested in scoring and doing foley artist work for our films.
Only two, but it was still nice.
Managed to get some ideas of the temple hallways fleshed out, and discovered a few more layouts that will be reused. I even think one might need to be animated on 16 field just because of how small Amras starts out.
I also purchased 3 tutorials from ctrlpaint.com with Christmas money to help get into painting in photoshop as I think I can use the help. I recently learned on reddit that adventure time uses photoshop and not flash to get their layouts, so Im interested in doing the same.
Also, looking at old reference of temples/ruins/castle stones from living lines library and animationbackgrounds.com, really inspires me to make the layouts as good as I can.
Will post some more by this weekend of actual content.

Slacking on the posts. I need to get in the habit of keeping this up to date as it will serve as my production journal also!
Today is 2/19/2014, and I am knee-deep in designing my layouts. I scrapped a bunch of work today, though this is a good thing.
Sherrie helped me think about attempting the workbook in a different way that has proven to be quite easier than the way I had been doing it. Not to mention Sherrie also reminded me that The Jungle Book had an abandoned temple in it.
How could I have forgotten! It has proven to be an invaluable source of reference for overgrown tree roots, moss, and vegetation!
I'll post what I have so far (Only the first five shots - though 2 of they layouts will be re-used, so that's a plus).
So far I am learning to always remember ALL the tools I have available to complete the task at hand. Tunnel vision does not help for working smart.
Also, after having a huge artist block on designing some of the pieces, I've finally been able to break through thanks to some sketching. Now I seem to know exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to reference and my prop/layout designs!
For anyone wondering what the blue drawings are...they serve as proportional markers for pieces that will be animated ( the character Amras, the cloud, lightning, his hand, etc.)
