T: Jumba's Ship In Time Vortex

This was originally the first frame of an animation I'm working on right now. I thought it looked good enough by itself, so I decided to submit it seperately.

Of course, looking good in freeze-frame and looking good in motion are two completely different things, and I ended up having to redo some of the animation, so the final won't look quite like this.

As an aside, the reason I went for the more Doctor Who-esque time vortex rather than the one shown in Melty was two-fold: 1) it'd be really complicated to animate by hand, and b) it looks really ugly, whereas Doctor Who's vortex, well, isn't - not by a long shot.

Update 22 Aug 2011: OK, it turns out the final will look more different than I anticipated - I've redrawn the ship for the final animation at a higher resolution and to iron out some of the rough spots, so the ship in the final will look a little different from the one shown here.
