Description Inspired by the Chinese myth of Penglai Shan. There's a thousand and one different descriptions, but here's the gist:

A mountainous island in a distant sea reachable only by air. Each peak is a home to one of the eight immortal deities.

haha you and me both, friend :9 i think i've done a couple over 20 out of 50+ frames?? oh dear.
i can't wait to see yours though! are you going to be using any of your awesome backgrounds?

samburley In reply to robyn-intherain [2009-05-15 00:34:06 +0000 UTC]

lol, no backgrounds I'm afraid. Well, none in focus anyways. Ohh the wonders of motion blur...

But yeah I sort of wish we had class next week to watch everyone's cause I doubt he will make a disc or anything. Are you working in color btw? i seem to remember noticing some from across the room. Either way I expect to be mighty impressed!
