I’m working on this animation, first plans go back to 2013. Classical dragon and knight story. It will take a few more years, currently I have only a few hours per week for this, so be patient.
Here’s one of four already animated scenes. The other 40 are in animatic stage.
Knight test render, the background is a placeholder, but the shaders will be in this style.
Generally the backgrounds and textures will be painted with brush and paper.
Loren Lemon - I can’t grow that kind of moustache either, it’s a pity
sdhy - the animation is in blender, the textures are painted on paper and scanned, including brush strokes for the feathers which are used there as alpha planes.
Some sculpting was done in 3D Coat.
