It has been a steady past week for me. I have been working on prop and environment textures recently. I am revising the fiddle and gumbo pot textures, but here is their progress so far:

I have been having a lot of fun texturing these assets but also having a hard time letting them go and trying to not be perfectionist with them. It is easy for me to want to keep working on a prop forever because there are edits I think of later and want to add but realistically there isn't much time for that. I have also been working with trying to keep the cartoon style visible in the textures. This can sometimes be difficult due to wanting to add details, I have to be careful to not add to much but also create a unique and well rounded texture for the film!

I am now working on the swamp ground textures which is an environment. I have just been working on prop and character textures, so working on an environment is different for me. I want to make sure I keep it uniform with all the other textures on the props and characters but want to match it to our custom sky dome as well. I have a lot of work I still need to make on it, and I am excited to see how it'll turn out!

We have also confirmed our two student musicians to help us with our music! As of right now we are working on finding sheet music and will hopefully be able to record sometime next month!
