Dragon Weaver Cartoon Update
Hey poly peeps!!
I just wanted to put up a small update!
The Toon Sushi clan has been hard at work on the cartoon series.
Here are some updates as far as art!

Un-named for now we call him "THE STORY TELLER" : Pass 1 on design. Our Modeling Director Josh Singh will be tearing this stuff up soon. This is a design I created and had our Art Director Pio color up.
The final cartoon version of Hiroshi modeled by Toon Sushi Modeling Director Josh Singh: The sword is Hiroshi's legendary "Blade of Mar" (story to follow!) NO TEXTURE MAPS, just smoothing groups and Phong Shaders. Textures coming soon!!!!
The look of the Dragon Weaver is video game inspired. We do not intend to make it look like what the typical CG film looks like. A task like that for a team of 10 would just be insane. The Toon Sushi Clan consists of video game industry professional who are actually working in games right now! So we are all doing this after work. I feel the low poly stylized look lends itself perfectly to a "side project". The film style will be very unique, and will hopefully feel like a 3d animated comic book.
BLOCKOUT anim test. This was created to start testing out some sound design on impacts, and also a study to begin to nail down Hiroshis fighting style. The "Dragon Roll" teaser is in pre production right now! So stay tuned to the blog for updates!
