Shading Dance of the Hours

The shading for my scene is coming along. I am experimenting with a few different types of Toon Shaders which I hope will give this scene a more cartoon look. The clock frame is still being worked on as well. Once I have a better handle on the Maya Tool Shader, I may give the clock frame a Toon look as well.

coal mine shaft bog body

the coal mine is dark and damp water drips there are tracks leading in and support columns all rusting .some have fallen in and been repaired . as you go deeper the rock changes becoming more Crystal like a dark black crystal

the camera follows the tracks out side were every thing is covered in dust there is a train yard for unloading the coal for processing

we follow the tracks

there is a bog land beside the track and in the bog there is a body preserved

a woman

in the mine a change begins

the coal mine shaft starts to morph into wood

and finally everything changes in to a forest

growing branches

not the nice green kind

a sort of tar like dead fir tree

were every thing is in an in-between state

a frozen liquid state cracking and melting

the bog body starts to become glass

a mirror of what is happing in the coal mine
