Hi
I am working on a 3D series called Second Empire a story about the Daleks from the science fiction show Doctor Who these Daleks are slightly different in terms of their look and the way they behave they have more personality and names it is based on a 3D comic done by a Chap called mechmaster you can view his work here
CG-Lair homepage
I am with the kind permission of mechmaster turning the comic into a 3D seriesi i dont not or have not claimed to make these models myself and they are used with his permission all i do is rigg them and animate them i occasionally chnage a model for animation purposes or build a new set for sequences that work in animation but not in still form equally there are scenes from the comic that dont work in animation form so far have produced episode 1 which can be seen on youtube here
YouTube - Second Empire Episode 1 Part 1
YouTube - Second Empire Episode 1 Part 2
I am not 100% happy with episode 1 as there are quite a few mistakes but im learning and episode 2 is already looking better, i have several other episodes in different states
Episode 2: 1st cut is done, Music done, about 60 shots out of 80 to render
Episode 3: 75% there no shots rendered though
Episode 4: 50% done all interior shots done no shots final
Epsiode 5: 25% done no shots final 1 shot rendered
Episode 6: rough cut dont all shots done, 13 shots final out of 100
Episode 7: 50% there not shots final no shots rendred
The comic is not finaihed yet so i am not sure how many epsidoe there will be ive story boarded about 15 epsiodes each is about 15 - 20 minutes each with a cliff hanger
when episodes 1 - 5 are done i go back and re do or as i like to call it George lucasing my work i will re do shots and make them better as by then i will have a new computer to speed up rendering, after that i will be releasing a DVD of episodes 1 - 5 only charging for postage as thats the only legal way to distribute a dvd containing Daleks
Any and all comments welcome ive attached some images ive taken from different episodes

One last question: What's with the pink Daleks in the screenshot?
The pink Daleks are the battle saucer crew ones who spend most if not all of their time in space the pink is just an interesting color schemes here are some more of the color scenes
The other pink Dalek is the battle field management and accounting Dalek
The orange is one of the space fortress Daleks
The blue and gold are the Combat engineers
The yellow and black are secuirty
The green are the ground crew
PS. Pink Daleks! I just can't get past that.
