Project Apricot Thumbnailing

Alright!  Thumbnailing for Project Apricot.  This is an exciting and terrifying first step because this is the farthest I've ever gone with this project and also this is the closest these ideas have ever come to fruition.  And what if it sucks?

Well, Rad told us expect it to suck the first time.  It's more important to make progress and iterate, than to keep preparing before going forward.  So here is the first attempt at a forest scene.

Well that wasn't too horrible... maybe.  But after thumbnailing Avatar - The Last Airbender for about two weeks, and thumbnailing various forest photos, I gave it another shot and here's how it looks so far.

 It feels more interesting and more in context. It still has a long way to go, but it's encouraging that I'm moving in the right direction.  It just goes to show that there's no replacement for practice.

Here are a few more thumbnail sequences.  (Not edited yet, so it's not entirely coherent.)
