...serving us up the shitty animation in street fighter iv. last time we mentioned studio 4c we were excited about them and their previous work on movies like Black & White and Mind Game. Now there is only that weird after taste you get after eating Burger King.
Studi 4c will also be providing an animation short at the end of the new street fighter flick starring Kristen Kruek. No word yet if it will be featured at the end of our version of the movie!
Rafael Grampa, Indie Comic Artist, Art Director & Concept Designer @ Brazilian design firm LOBO has been keeping a blog over at: Furry Water His work is gritty and often forceful. Very cool to see an illustrator of this caliber posting his thoughts and work on a regular basis.
Genius Party Beyond by Studio 4c looks like a great anime collaboration anthology with some really neat directors including Tasuyuki Tanaka who worked on many anime most notably Gatchaman 2000, Akira & Venus Wars.
Robin Joseph, currently employed over at House of Cool, posted some of his visual development sketches for the flick Horton Hears a Who over @ his blog, Patch of Orange.
Totally worth checking out. Robin's style is organic and filled with vitality.
