I’ve observed this until installment 21, at the close of the arc about the black kirin, Taiki. Placed on these sequences, I wholly agree about the items in your critique. The story began truly slowly for me, and at first, Youko’s character was truly annoying but as the story gained step and she started to rise, it really turned up its amazing level to the max. Unfortunately, I feel very afraid to complete it due to the uncompleted nature of the last arc, which is a prolongation about Taiki, my favourite persona in the serial. I’m thinking of obtaining at least the novel about the last arc in the tv series, before I keep observing, so I can at least read the novel to truly enjoy the last arc.

I really like the concept of the shaman. But if he can’t have more than two arms, why not making a bunch of “puppets arms” that would be hanging from the dark ceiling. He would control them by using strings attached to his fingers or something. It would have a fantasy look to it and using this cool idea while maintaining a certain coherence with the rest of Sintel world.

Just an idea, keep up the good work =)

I would love to see a black crow on the shoulder of the SHEWI (Shaman/HEaler/WIzard) that (almost) can talk and gives the person more mystery feeling.

Nice designs. The shaman is ok on itself, but it may indeed put to much fantasy on the rest of the world. A shaman doesn’t have to be too different in an apparent way, he can be an introvert but wise man – ok, that can be cliche.

What worries me though, is that in two weeks David is already away? I mean, if you look at the 2D previz speedpainting, it seems he is very important durin g the whole development period, since he can so quickly develop a consistent mood and style, definitely needed to deliver such an epic movie project.

After all there are even dragons in this world. Why not 4-armed shamans? I like it a lot.

I don’t know if it’s the wanted effect, but It would be quite unconveinant to have 4 arms placed like that.

As far as the image goes, it looks like there is a front and a rear set of arms, both of them being opposed (that must be useful to scrach your back!). Howevern since both are using the same articulation, that would make the shaman weaker phisically, and more suceptible to dislocations.

The fact that those two sets also share the same tussues at some points would also reduce the range of each of the arms (think to the relation between the middle and the ring finger).

A more practical way to see this would be to have two sets of pectorals (greater and lesser)…

Well if the movie shows a Dragon, is enough to put a shaman with 4 arms.
