Based upon the concepts, I created some simple storyboards for my trailer. These will be what I base all of my animation and transitions on going forward. I created these before anything, based on the vision I always had for how this trailer is going to look.
Based off of these storyboards, I painted some backgrounds in my drawing software of choice, Krita. The total time for all of these was around 4 or 5 hours, so it was no easy feat. I then exported them all as individual PNGs so that I could layer them up in blender — the completed images and individual PNGs are below. I made sure to include space for the creatures to be in the scene, for example, a little pedestal for the Foxbat to step up onto.
