Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Texturing Date Submitted: Saturday, 14 May 2005 Title: puppet head and texture Notes: did this the other day and thought it looked pretty psycho, and it has more of the look i was going for. the other 2 were making it too human in apperance and clashing with the body.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Monday, 25 April 2005 Title: servant concept Notes: starting to work on the servant's head. i think this is going to be the overall shape, i know it resembles the master somewhat and isnt robotic, but im going to armour him up a little and detail him out. but this is the basic shape that im going with.also his basic texturing, going to use a combination of light tex maps and shaders. and am giving thought to having the servant in a defiant type posture, maybe facing the master and hacking at his chains,, will try it in a composition to see how it goes.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Wednesday, 20 April 2005 Title: Puppet Detailing Notes: started to finish detailing out the puppet. am trying to get away from the robot look, i want it to look like a construct, but not really "robot", so i reworked the torso to look more organic and armour clad "i hope" and filled out his extremeties with assorted spikes, cladding and armour type details. still havent decided on his head , its either helmet spectre type adornment, or more organic and beast like. the beast is winning the vote so far.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Friday, 08 April 2005 Title: yet more scene elements Notes: more lower poly, stuctures for scene detailing. most of these will just use low res tiling textures and shaders. bigger temple complex used a few parts of my puppet for its stucture.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Post Effects and Compositing Date Submitted: Tuesday, 05 April 2005 Title: Perspective shift Notes: different perspective im thinking. i agree about the full on perspective really robs it of depth. thinking seriously about this angle. with a temple complex before the minion/puppet.. the gist of the story so far is. " at the end of the universe in the lost city of bliss resides, "the great puller of strings" the master of puppets to which all souls have one of his stings attached, along with his feared minion the "Karakuri Ningyou" that is used to punish thos who invoke his wrath."
