Animated/Motion Civil War Illustrations

[mnor]

This is a new animated/motion series that I've started based on the great illustrations made during the Civil War.

When you see the colorization of photos taken during that era, it brings a new life to the image making them more realistic. I thought I would do something similar for the illustrations made during that time. But in this case, I'm creating layers within the original illustration which gives it a 3D effect.

Any changes that I will be making will be limited to cloning parts of the image for the 3D effect and coloring of any flags (if the illustrations are black/white). I may also color some explosions (just for fun).

This series begins with the Illustrations made by:

Alfred Waud the Battle at RESACA.
F.O.C Darley the Death of Col. Baker
Thure de Thulstrup the Battle of Shiloh

I hope you enjoy the work of these great artists.

I really appreciated the animations!

I watched the Resaca and liked it, but thought somehow it should also have some sort of soundtrack, music at least and maybe some battle noise.
