Erysichthon 2.5D animation - Latin homework done in Blender 2.57, GIMP, MyPaint and Paint.Net

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erysichthon "King Erysichthon of Thessaly was the son of Triopas. He cut down trees in a grove, sacred to Demeter; and cutting it down he killed a dryad nymph. Demeter punished him by placing Aethon, unrelenting and insatiable hunger, in his stomach, giving him insatiable hunger. He sold all his possessions, including his daughter, Mestra, to buy food, but was still hungry. Mestra was freed from slavery by Poseidon, who gave her the gift of shape-shifting to escape her bonds. Erysichthon sold her numerous times to make money to feed himself. Eventually, Erysichthon ate himself in hunger."

This video is about the part we have translated so far: Erysichthon cuts down the tree, the dryade nymphs ask Ceres for a revenge, Ceres asks another dryade nymph to visit the hunger who then is supposed to put himself into Erysichthon.

Overall render time: about 6.5h :-/
