What is this gray heresy?
Hm, I'll probably make the shadow on the far wall there full black in the final animation--you'll still be able to distinguish it because it'll move as the head peeps out from behind that foreground wall--but I'll keep the thin 50% shadow that's just barely visible between the head (that big shiny dome of a space helmet) and the foreground wall. Frame from a two-stage zoom-out:
The effect is pretty cool in motion but I can't show the whole thing to you yet because it's too spoilerish. :p It's kind of interesting how Photoshop's Radial Blur filter puts some graininess in longer blurred parts, I never noticed before that it does that. I also uploaded a shockingly (semi) abstract piece that uses a piece of art appearing right before that spoilerish zoom-out to A*'s space on deviantART.
