Well I'm back in the city of angels after my brief stint away and I am ready to get back into the thick of it. I have been playing around a bit with character designs to see what will function, sourcing inspiration from a plethora of different locations. I will upload some rough facial design experiments soon. I also borrowed out Preston Blair's Animation to get the low down on flight, and also borrowed out the 1944 masterpiece Ivan the Terrible, from which our film derives its title, to see if there's anything we can borrow or reference, visually or otherwise.

Here's to a productive week ahead.
