Room update!

Been a few days since I updated everyone on the progress of the room. I've been working on a lot of little things and, the newest headache, the warp pipes. Here are some photo updates for you all! New belly photo to debut at a later date.

Warp pipe #3 and its little shurb. The bottom of this pipe is done, minus the touching up part. The top is obviously untouched. The shrub has its final coat of paint and has been outlined. It still needs its light shading. Not pictured here: the beginnings of the jagged black line that will mark the "end of the level."

Warp pipe #2. It needs one more dark green line, touch ups, and its top painted. Notice the blue paint tape is starting to come off! yay! That means its nearing completion!

Wide shot from the door. The clouds are done being painted white, but still needs outlines, the light blue shading, and their eyes. I've been painting the bricks by the pit fall and in the air orange. (That process has been frustrating because the paint is coming out SO THICK!) The one open brick will eventually be a question block. The forest has been outlined and the paint tape has come off of the colored blocks under the window as I touch them up. They still need shadows and their bolts, but I've drawn the bolts on with pencil!

Bush set #1 is complete since it has its outline now! More signs of things nearing a more complete point as paint tape is off of the first question block. I've been testing an orange color for the bottom of the world, too. This is just a test coat. Until the rest of the background is done, I won't be working any more on the ground, since it involves moving the tape line up.

Close up of the blocks under the window and the pit fall (which is now painted blue, because you know, it's a hole in the ground). Still have to make the bricks into bricks, but that has to wait until the painting of the base orange is done. They won't be so bright once I add the peach and black to them.

Another shot of the bricks and forest on the other side of the pit fall.

Hey look! Clouds! You can also see the top of warp pipe #1 also.

The wall by the door is the nearest to completion (minus environmental hazards (goombas and koopas) and rewards (coins). I'm pretty sure that Mario himself will eventually grace this wall, most likely atop the white or yellow block. The paint lines are off and the bolts are drawn on. Blocks needs shadows and bolts painted. Cloud needs its outline, blue shading and eyes. Shrubs only need their light green shading.

Ok, so lots of work done and lots of work ahead. Hope you enjoy the picture update. Wish me luck at my glucose test on Thursday!
