Jamaal Bradley recently posted a series of tweets with some model sheets of the series Wonder of Yonder. I found them incredibly helpful and loaded with some tips that do not only apply to 2D but to 3D too.

So beautiful. This is something that you can watch over and over again and still be amazed by the quality and life of these images.

Simply impressive.

Roger Rabbit: Tummy Trouble (720p)

Great style and even greater animation!! I would love to work on something like this!

Links, enlaces and liens

This week's links is exceptionally long because I forgot to port it last week (and the week before that, I believe), so I have more links than the usual three or four.

Enjoy them!

This one went viral a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to put it here since I think every artist goes through this at some time in his/her career.
