Episode 9 - Destruction Released

Episode 9 - Destruction of the Lillium series is released!

An adventure in Lillium

Episode 9 in the series. 

The city that Matt and Puddles have escaped from comes back to haunt them, when the city goes to war with its citizens. But what affect could this have for the old Realm?

Final Scene 7 and Episode List!

Here's a screenshot from the final Scene 7 of episode 9

 (It's a windy day in Lillium it would seem)

Also here is a list of episodes 9-13 and their titles. Enjoy!

Scene 6 Complete! + New Projects!

Scene 6 has been completed, the scene makes 1 minute 26 seconds in length. I am about 80% through episode 9 now!

Whilst working on Episode 9 I have been developing ideas for non Lillium related projects. I have finalized two ideas. It is important for me to get Episode 9 and 10 completed before any other real projects distract me. But I am aiming for a short project to be released before episode 10 is out as I will work on them roughly at the same time. 

More details on the first short project and Episode 9 updates coming soon! 

Scene 6 Part 2 Complete!

I am now onto the final part of Scene 6, part 3. Which involves little more than a few dialogue shots. Then I'll be moving on to Scene 7 the final Scene of episode 9! 

(Tidal wave approaches the shore!)

Scene 6 Update - Defence!

Scene 6 is nearing its end and the elements are all helping to defend against a powerful force!

(A great wall of Earth and Rock aiming to hold back the powerful force)

Apologies to all who have noticed my quietness on updating with Episode 9's progress. I aim to have more done this week making Friday another full animation day!

The Elements Arrive!

A few elements have arrived to help! With what? Help who? I can't say. But I can share 3 element screen-shots with you. Including the newly designed Rock Element!

 (The Rock Child arrives on Scene!)

(The Water and Ice Child, angry at something!?)

Scene 6 Update!

Time for a update, seeing as I have landed myself a full time job animating has been a bit left behind but I am spending today all day! Animating! Mostly just clouds and lip sync. 

Character classic unite!

Scene 6 as you know features a devastating Tidal wave approaching the inhabitants of The Old Realm side of Lillium. This affects all my main characters to some degree, both new and old are back featured in episode 9 (except for Fable who takes the spotlight in Episode 10).

(Spectre dozing in a tree)

(Blob outside his house with Pet Ignia)

(Monk and Jiratchi making their way hastily down a mountain)

Scene 6- Tidal Time

Scene 6 sees a threat coming towards Lillium, a threats that not beast nor human.

(A Tidal wave heads for the shores of The Old Realm, sweeping up debris and sea creatures)

Scene 5 Part 1 Complete

Already 40 seconds into Scene 5, its time for the characters of Lillium to get far away from the oncoming danger. But what is that danger? 

(General, The High Lord and Nelly all worried about the oncoming foe they face) 

(The General sees people boarding the airship)

Until next update!

Scene 5- Chaos Begins

Begin Scene 5 and the pace has been turned up, danger is coming and is imminent. My wish for less dialogue in this scene has been granted, however I have lots of action to animate, from tidal waves, to airships, to frantic extras running around aimlessly.

(Matt, Puddles and The Blind Mage all run outside to see the oncoming danger. But what is it?)

Character Nelly enters Scene 5

Having finished Scene 4 which runs 2 mins and 19 secs . The start of Scene 5 features the first time appearance of Nelly. As the Generals Deputy Nelly is 3rd in command of the High Lords fleet of soldiers.

Nelly is surprisingly short for a high ranked soldier, also panicked easily. Nelly however does have the best pilot and weapons skills within the entire fleet and can be often found training groups of new soldiers. 

Scene 4 - Things get Tense

Scene 4 discussion in The High Lords speakers hall is getting rather tense. Who knows how it will end.

(The High Lord loses patience with the conversation)

(Matt appears to not be enjoying himself)

I expect to have Scene 4 completed in the coming days. More updates then.

Scene 4 Part 1 Complete

I have finished the first part of what I like to call (the long but not boring conversation) with 50 seconds tucked away under the scene I have about 2/3 of the scene left to do. Here's a random screenshot:

(Awkwardness- Matt and Puddles)

Ep9 Scene 4 - The Conference

I have reached Scene 4 where several main characters meet up and talk about.... something *secrets* This is the scene with longest run of dialogue and conversations, fortunately not too difficult in regards to actual animation, just lots of lip sync to muddle through.

(The High Lord taking a seat in his Speakers Hall)

Scene 3 Steps

Part of Scene 3 takes place walking up a lot of steps whilst a conversation takes place. To my surprise I am only 4 shots away from completing Scene 3! I shall have it completed by the end of next Monday.

(The High Lord, General and Matt walking up steps away from the miserable Dungeons)

Scene 3 Begins! Enter High Lord Ozaka!

I finally finished that pesky Scene 2 and now onto Scene 3, which finally sees the scenery change into a more pleasant environment. This is also the Scene where The High Lord makes his first appearance in the episode followed closely as always by General:

(Something troubles The High Lord)

Small Scene 2 Part 3

I have started on the small and last part of Scene 2, part 3. This involves more dialogue heavy shots.

(Puddles the Cat- Behind bars?!)

More interesting screen shots to come as the episode progresses!

Another Scene 2 Screenshot

Not much to say, still treading through the lip sync and angled backgrounds of the cell.

(Matt and The Mage getting acquainted)

Scene 2 Part 2 treading through the dialogue

I'm making my way through the end of scene 2 now; that features a rather long but important conversation between various characters.

(The Blind Mage)

(Matt talking to the Blind Mage)
