The basic fundamentals of drawing, painting and working through your ideas is to discover what works for that exact character, story and aesthetic. These preliminary sketches helped gestate my minds eye of the final outcome. Don’t let AI destroy your voyage and just skip to slop.

This was a bit of fan art I made after working on the independent feature #RogueTrooper. Hailing from the UK I've been an avid reader of the #2000ad comic for some time. The film is currently doing the festival circuit so please do go and check it out if you can. #illustration #animatedfilm

What you need to understand is nothing we built was “off the shelf.” Store-bought environmental assets for stop-motion features do not exist. We were given concept art and told “make it look like this.” Everything you see here, down to the dirt and moss, was meticulously designed and crafted.

"Rogue Trooper" see it for the landscapes alone - beautiful, poisoned, with cloudscapes to die for. One part war movie, two parts Monty Python, featuring the silliest-yet-deadly villain in movie history. You have to admire the courage put into this. #tiff #midnightmadness / 11

I just don’t see the Wirtz other people see, very average. Gave the ball away in a lot of transitions and left me frustrated.

When you're in a world of deadlines, doing art that leads nowhere and has no specific outcome is good for the soul.

You'll enjoy a real painting by a local artist much more than a print of a painting by a famous one. And you'll have absolutely made their day/week/month.

Overcoming the odds, creating art despite the hurdles is real. We see the journey and show our appreciation of that effort. The time taken to make it should be rewarded with our time.
