Hey Fer,
Great image !! love the light on it , fantastic mood . The lighting bouncing on the floor to the characters is really cool , puts a great touch on the image, a feel of tension and drama 
The story of James Grilleto ( en esto lares conocido como Jaime “El Gatillero” :D) is simply great, cool for a little animated short. The final twist on the story is fantastic. 
Congratulations for your great finale my friend! All the best and yes!!! time for “hartas chelas bien moridas” ( Translation = Time for a lot of cold beer :D) and lot of tequila shots and a few cubatas … ok, ok a lot of cubatas hahahaha
Cheers my friend!! 
At the end I forgot to turn on one layer that would turn red the bounced light coming from below… :banghead:
well, not really important anyway…
Thanks for your posts guys! I’m glad that you like it
and glad that some of you liked the story as well, hehe, I did my best to come up with an explanation for this crazy mix
although I’m not a writer at all, and much less an english-witer…
so, here you have some close-ups and a bigger res version…



- oh my god, can anything else go wrong? - thought Jimmy just before feeling the first raindrop…
this weather is so unpredictable… just after the challenge ended it started raining! 
ok, seriously, before I add this to my portfolio I wanted to play a bit more with the idea of the rain… what do you think? I would make them look wet, and the floor too, but I think you can get a general feel with this:

I’m not sure I like it, when I’ve showed it to people they’ve said that it looks like laser beams coming from the sky… so either I try to make it better, or I close this project as it is now, and turn a new page… opinions? can I still ask for opinions after the challenge is over? 
Nice one. Very silly concept and great background story! I love how she clutches the roll of toilet paper as if it is the most precious thing to hold on to when threatened by mutating cleaning ladies!
As for opinions on your post-final changes, I must admit that I prefer the version without the rain. That dense (and drawn as unbroken lines) it is too distracting IMHO. Done more subtle it might turn out different.
PS: Rain also means you should render your materials shinier and darker to make them appear wet - and the end of toilet paper wouldn’t float like this when soaked!
Really cool final piece mate!!!
And the twist in the story, that´s just great.
I like how the central characters turn in the end, the color scheme works very well… and the details… the wart in the old ladies are a nice touch. 
About the rain… I agree with archaeotect, it looks better without it, altough if you really want to work more and add rain to your scene, probably you should try something a little more blurry and/or with broken lines and probably a puddle or two…
Thank you guys! 
The toilet paper was in fact an idea from browndljr here in this thread, I really liked the idea, so I put it there… and although it doesn’t appear in the short story I wrote, there is a reason for the toilet paper, but you will have to watch the full movie to know!
(ok, I forgot about it when writing, and it would’ve been too long anyway, hehe)
I think I agree with you, I will call it finished and forget about the rain… I’ll save the idea for some future image, if properly done it could add a lot of drama to any image!
thanks for your words!
Hello Elmasfeo
I really like your job, so funny idea and great result.
(And you’re right, it was not a coincidence, Argon simply looked like more spatial )
Thanks and see you.
