Is it really Thursday??? Hey guys. I was just up in the Bay Area visiting friends and missed the Tuesday drawing. So here it is on Thursday. BTW got to visit Pixar and got to see their "Cars" gallery. I have to say that when I saw the trailer I wasn't really impressed but after seeing the art I got excited. Also my friend saw it and said it has more emotional than Toy Story 2!! Wow!
Don't ever count Pixar out until the final bell (is that the lesson? ...). Word on the street is that the initial draft of Finding Nemo had cameos by Charlie Tuna, Mr. Limpet, and Monstro the Whale ... but they wound up on the cutting room floor ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the bot ... Can't wait to see more ...
Looks kinda like that Martian Chronicles show. Kidding. Looksvery cool, glad you're back. More emotional than Toy Story. Who didn't cry at the toys that are no longer loved. Cars rusting at the salvage yard wailing "they can't see, where's the rest of me, etc". The horror.
ReplyDelete"where's the rest of me" heh heh heh - love that. Be brave little toaster.
ReplyDeleteBut regarding the drawing - like those shapes very much! And the gown down the ground is great too. Could you see the tiny rectalinear panels in the bot's arm-tube reflect some of those bulbous pyramoidal shapes? Free advice - worth every penny.
Have had the same reaction to "Cars" trailers as you Skribbl. Wondered if anything could make me as entertained as "The Increds" So I'm glad to hear there might be more there than met my headlights.
Yes, I too like the shapes you are using in this robot. I'm anxious to see the completed piece.
ReplyDeleteI saw some Cars stuff at the Pixar exhibit. I'm not as pumped about it as I have been for other projects of theirs. It has a little bit of the "Shark Tale" style humor to it... take our common place world and inhabit it with cars rather than people and make a bunch of pop culture jokes and puns based on autos. Shriek 2 was a lot like that, even more so that the first one. I can stomach some of that sort of thing (Finding Nemo had a good mix, for example), but Shark Tale was WAY over the top.
ReplyDeleteThis is the feature animation paradigm right now, and I hope that Pixar can avoid it... if anyone can, they can.
Sorry for the rant...
