Mulan is one of Disney’s best-designed films. For that, you can thank Chen-Yi Chang. He was the character designer, and he put an amazing amount of care and research into his work. It lifted the whole team, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-charac...

Aurelius Battaglia (1910-1984) - fantastic illustrator of children's books throughout the midcentury era - worked at Disney in the 40s and UPA in the 50s. One of my favorite inspirations of that time. #wardsmorguefile

Nielsen argues that anime fans are more than an audience; fandom in anime is a behavior. It's highly engaged across streaming, gaming, merch, and social platforms. They act more like a lifestyle community than passive viewers. www.cartoonbrew.com/anime/nielse...

Illustration art of a child drawing their dream world. All this while, I've been mostly drawing what my son loves. This time I decided to take some time to think and draw what my younger self loved. I don't think we're that different though! We both love insects, birds and dragons.. Drawn digitally in Procreate and Photoshop

URNS and odours bring away! Vapours, sighs, darken the day! Our dole more deadly looks than dying; Balms and gums and heavy cheers, Sacred vials fill'd with tears, And clamours through the wild air flying! #bookWormSat 🧵

Edwin Austin Abbey - Dirge of the Three Queens

A stylized, painterly scene shows a solemn funeral procession moving from left to right across a dim, open landscape at sunset. Several robed figures—mostly women in long, flowing garments and veils—carry a coffin on their shoulders. The central figure, dressed in a deep blue cloak with gold accents, walks slightly ahead, her posture dignified and mournful.

Behind and around her, others wear pale or earth-toned robes, some with hoods obscuring their faces. One figure carries a flag with a faint emblem, while another appears to play a wind instrument, adding a ritualistic feel. The coffin is draped in patterned fabric, and a cross is visible among the mourners.

The sky glows with warm orange and pink tones near the horizon, fading into cooler blues above, contrasting with the darker foreground. The ground is rough and shadowed, with expressive, sketch-like strokes emphasizing movement and emotion. The overall mood is somber, ceremonial, and symbolic rather than realistic.
