the difference between fine art and illustration is nothing more than the economic class of the artist making it and that of their patrons.

Animation for the first season of Thundercats for Rankin/Bass, including the series’ incredible intro seen below, was by the Tokyo-based studio Topcraft. In 1985, Topcraft went bankrupt and its assets and animators became Studio Ghibli, under Miyazaki, Suzuki, and Takahata.

worldbuilding should be when u draw a map of ur fantasy land halfway through the story, bc u couldn't keep track of where shit is in your head anymore, not whatever this is:

palindromedary-blog
I do not consider any fantasy worldbuilding complete before you cannot tell me something about
• the culture's sense of humour, with examples of popular jokes,
• popular literature VS classic literature,
• what children learn in school (especially history, maths, biology),
• the common grammar mistakes your conlang's native speakers make,
• the culture's cuisine, with recipes,
• toy production,
• the embarassing old songs people sing when they are really drunk, but would not admit knowing while sober.

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.
