Some more tests

Here I merged the Kalediscope efffect I had created as a texture over the surface texture of the line test to see what effect it would have, again some are more successful than others but I am impressed with one or two of them and am considering using this and developing this idea further.

After Effects

I used the concept art image I posted previously and manipulated it in Photoshop to then experiment with in After Effects. I was trying to manipulate the image to imitate a neon kaleidoscope feel.

Neon Line test

Here is a quick render on what I have been working on. Like my previous line test I started animating in Toon Boom then painted the contours in Painter 12. I am trying to go for a bold Neon like style here using a thick textured brush. I then experimented in after effects to change colour's and explore Glowing effects.

Animation test

Here is an quick animation I did of a water drop in order to test whether the software Painter could be used in the way in which I anticipated, overall I am happy with the results. The line test was done using Animate animating on 2s.
