Old style guide I did for Tangled back in the day.. Some great quotes from Bill Moore, famous design teacher at Chouinard, establishing a great way of approaching and studying shapes*

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Years!!! Thanks to all 20,000+ followers following this tumblr; truly it encourages me that there is a audience out there and motivates me to do more work*

Get ready for more exciting things next year ; )

Artist Christoph Bader collaborated with MIT scientist Neri Oxman to create grown wearable suits. First they wrote a growth algorithms “inspired by natural growth behavior” to generate 3D shapes, then they actually created these objects with a 3D printer.

(Watch the whole video here - with lots more growth variants)

According to the artists, the idea is that the resulting outfits could contain living organisms — bacteria and algae — that could serve various functions during interplanetary exploration. More info here.

Anyone wondering why your animals are looking a bit off, this is really useful. Sometimes it takes a long time to realise that even amoung the same families of animals, spines and hips and leg structures can have nuanced or heavy differences, and taking note of them improves the look of each species immeasurably.

Face shapes too. And as shown down the bottom, knowing your anatomy helps you to make really fucking sick-ass cool mythical creatures.

Bob Camp and other Spumco artists have fairly publicly spoken about John K's behavior in the past. Vincent Waller once referred to him as a "jackass." Robertryan Cory said on his Tumblr that John K was "pretty mean" to him. I just think that we should appreciate John K's artwork and influence without revering him as some sort of god-like figure, because he's not. There are plenty of incredible artists in the industry who are much kinder than him. Including aforementioned Camp and Waller.

i’d like to see the source for Waller calling John K a “jackass”. He’s one of the more supportive Spumco artists, he’s more loyal to John K than Bob Camp. he didn’t go to Games to work on Ren & Stimpy. he worked on R&S APC, and look at these links;

Waller’s defending John K pretty strongly. if you can find a source of him calling John a “jackass” i’d be happy to look at it. but for now i have to look at the evidence i know.

i think some people (including myself) really look up to John K because he’s this beacon of hope for cartoons. he’s pushing for cartoons to be made like the classics, especially Warner Brothers style cartoons. there are other figures who’ll defend 2d animation like Don Bluth, but he’s more concerned with studios like Disney. there’s no one in the animation industry i can think of that advocates so strongly for wacky, humorous cartoons like John K.

I don’t have a deep history of John K, but of course as an animation major I respect his conviction. There was one post for me that always sat wrong and I could never shake the sourness it gave me, and it was that old “Are These Politically Correct?” blog from 2009. I remember at the time we were watching song of the south in the “forbidden animation” portion of our history of animation class, and as the only black kid in my program at the time, a lot runs through your head about the industry and the history of it.

What soured me about the post is it seemed to have no indication of thought, a sort of “talk among yourselves” posts that only seems to say “Well I only care about animation and DESIGN, so I don’t actually have to discuss the dubious topic of race.” But then, at the end of the post was a picture with two teens with their paints hanging down, as if the period on a sentence about….? I’m not sure. I know that at that point, I also looked at his female characters a lot more critically.

You may have a view point, or context, since you seemed pretty well versed in his history. Was there some context I missed?

My stance on the old cartoons is to view them and to understand their context, and ultimately enjoy them for what they are. But I still need guys like John K to take the conversation on sexism and race seriously in the modern age if they are going to contribute to the medium. A criticism that hes always seemed pretty defensive and deaf to (from my limited experience). Its sad, because I would love to see more variety between the total rainbow of races and gender and body type, and an unyielding death grip on old aesthetics with problematic depictions.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
