The Show Must Go On

Created entirely in flash, this was originally meant to be a scene in a flash music video for the song "The Show Must Go On" by Queen.
Since my computer is still busted I had to do this on my parent's computer, and was forced to draw with the mouse. But What I didn't factor in was the fact that my parent's computer is a piece of shit and coulden't handle animating, let alone rendering an animation with this level of detail. So until my computer is fixed or I figure out how to run this without the complex vector images slowing the fuck outta flash, I will have to put even more work into simplifying this.

I apologise for the compression, but I had to compress it that far since the image was so huge.
Oh, and sorry the image is so huge, I am one haughty bastard who wanted you to catch at least some of the complex detail that was meant for a fucking animated zoom in what was going to be one seriously boss flash. . . I should probably get some rest.

Very nice. The clouds on the top piece don't really look 'random' enough to seem real - you might want to try either a different technique, or purposely drawing them cartoon-like, as in the Wind Waker for instance. That might better suit the choice of colors overall too, since yellow is kind of a cartoon's gold.

Other than that all the decorations and detail are very good, in my opinion. The character looks a little out of place due to its lack of detail, but maybe that doesn't matter when it's animated.

The clouds were meant to bear the "as seen from outer space" look, and actually started to before I screwed it up my putting more work into it.
The man standing on the stage wasn't meant to be there, I took the screenshot and was hurrying so fast I didn't know he was there untill after I already made the jpeg, and I wasn't about to make another. He was to be replaced by a cartoon version of Freddie Mercury eventually, wearing spandex.

Is it going to sound nitpicky if i tell you that the pylons with rope on them look semi-tubular and not all the way so? Or were you going for that?

[Supafly345]

I don't care if the rope made it look like king kong, as long as it looks like a carving/molding painted gold I am fine with it. Most of the picture was made as I went along because I didn't have any intention for the outcome other than it being a stage that fits the glam-rock nature of Queen. I have yet to add the 3000sq feet of purple felt, but I think it comes close.

The only thing that is throwing me off is the circular swirl that's kinda off center while virtually everything else is perfectly symmetrical. But I assume it wouldn't matter as much because you said there would be lots of zoom and stuff like that. Regardless, you seem really stoked to make this.

The whole thing's gorgeous except for that dancing pile of poop in the middle. He doesn't belong there.

[Supafly345]

Like I said, he was a placeholder sliced on their just for porportions to match. The actual Freddie would be full detailed for extreme close up, but I didn't have time to do him when I was concentrating on which color of stagelight to use that would go with the floorboards.

Excuses. Excuses. Get to it!

I like the little dancing AIDS virus, very appropiate.
