Thinking style

So I saw Neil's (as always) brilliant work, and I was reminded of an animation style I was inspired by. Storm Hawks, I have both seasons if anyone wants to watch.

Meanwhile, have a gander at these screens next to Neil's arty stuff.





Note painted textures, especially the extreme example on the broom. Good artsy textures save time, space, renders and can still look good. Also see the semi-furry creature in the last image.

Thoughts?

Oh, and on an unrelated note, I've started a storyboard attempt.
