Yay! first moving image...

Art direction and parallax test.
Using Maya playblast (not game engine)




I like the parallaxing but I think I can push it further to give it more depth. Also the colours in the background tend to blend a little too much. I'll mess around with the colour palette to try and seperate the layers a little more.

Introduction: Bort "To Hell with Hell!"


Bort is a devil. Specifically, Bort is the demon god of mountain goats. His job is to make the souls of wicked and evil mountain goats as uncomfortable as possible while they are in Hell.... for all eternity. Trouble is, mountain goats aren't very wicked or evil and are generally nice beasts. This means Bort doesn't have a lot to do most days and he is bored of Hell. So Bort decides to leave Hell and see what else is out there. Trouble is, his boss Beelze Bob doesn't like his minions wandering off. So Bort will have to try and get out undetected. Avoiding traps, lava pits, Fuggers, Furies, the 7 sins, the "machines" and many other horrible nasties that lurk in the deep places of Hell.
