This is what I’ve done with the exception of a few insignificant raw/FX scenes. I had to tweak the final story in a lot of different ways for it to make sense for the setting. For example: it would be retarded for the craft to be sitting on the edge of a field that’s surrounded by houses. So I then realized that it would need to be in the (very small) forest at the edge-causing me to have to scrap a lot of scenes and waste more time.
The martians are sure to knock you off your seats- I know they’re horrible. I’m happy though first because they were my first character ever. Second because they taught me that I can’t rig- yet.
The martian-vision scenes I also would have scrapped because they were outside of the forest.
The Craft Touch scene was the biggest part (that I completed) and I’m pretty happy with it. I got really pissed with myself though when it rained and killed the snow…
I put the biggest amount of time into the tree for the climax scene where the craft follows Steve walking slowly backward. It then would have released a wave of energy which throws Steve off his feet and at the same time uprooting the tree and throwing a crater in the ground.
As far as finishing goes I probably won’t, atleast not untill I’ve figured out how to hold my “pencil” right. Instead I’ll probably just leave it as a lesson for me and other younger artists here

 Thanks again, everyone here for your encouragement and support. Can't wait to see what you have!
