Digging up the past

I drew and painted this a while ago as a concept for film I had thought of.

Its part of a panning shot and the characters are animated but not to the finish of this piece.

The way its lit was inspired by the 2008 Beijing Olympics Monkey: Journey to the west.

I love light, in this scene it should be rich with volumetric light from the windows and diffused glow on the characters.

I just love the way richness of depth the Gorillaz animation use.

One of the reasons I really got into animation was because of these guys!
