I spent most of the day working on the animation, and...well...I'm still none too happy with it, this time with the image I took for a background. I managed to find an EXCELLENT picture on the web, EXACTLY what I was looking for. So I took it, ran it through about six filters to get an oil painted look to it (Best when using a photo as a background to a cartoon). Resized and added the girl in...all took about four hours of resizing and mixing and matching the exact animation.
Then I promptly deleted it.
First off, I didn't feel it was right taking a photo and filtering it as part of my own image. I've got a huge collection of panorama shots, I'll try and use one of my own. 2nd it was WAY too cartoony, I filtered it way too much and it ended up looking like a scene right out of South Park. So the hunt is on for a nice pastoral picture.
In other news, I'm working on the Corporate Story,which I still don't have a name for. However, the first episode will be called "The Fact of Fiction" and will be very very very Dr. Who-like. Polychronicon (originally) and Closetspace were setup to be a series. 1 Episode per "story." This story will be written more as four episodes per story, loosely linked with an arc over the series. Of course, that's all moot is the format I use doesn't match the "episodes" thingy like Closetspace (Originally set for 25 "episodes" now being broken up into however many pages it takes to tell it).
It's COLD out there. ME likes very much. This is the kinda cold I like. In PA it was like this EVERYDAY for all winter. I can live with 18 as a Low for two days. :) Now if we could JUST get some snow.
Tomorrow the 'rents are going to Laredo. Standard Operating PRocedure - I won't be left with a vehicle. Hopefully they'll leave some cash so I can get a pizza or something. I don't like being left alone. Actually, I do. I don't like being abandoned with no way to get anywhere.

No amount of goodwill or positive thoughts or happy thinking is getting me out of here any sooner. :P
