What's crazy is they're racing a bus on a street with that red bus lane on it. That's already making it faster than it was before and it's still way too slow

Art of the Venus Wars In the year 2003, a comet designated Apollon collides with the planet Venus and disperses much of the planet's atmosphere, adds enough moisture to form acidic seas, and speeds up its rotation to give ...

Venus Wars has such awesome designs. I remember seeing it as a kid when visiting my grandma who had the Sci-FI channel, back when they'd do "anime saturday mornings". It had me thinking about it throughout the whole day and wanting to watch it again. characterdesignreferences.com/art-of-anima...

@moderndayjames was an MVP of this project I don't know if I would have finished it without him
The best part about collaborating with someone is when they elevate your stuff to a place you would not dream on. We knew each other before the project, so it was one of the first people that I approached

All the interesting background characters were really fun to look at throughout the whole series so it was worth it!

Oh awesome, I saw this posted a few days ago on different socials but didn't realize it's part of an art show right in Red Bank, some of my relatives live there and I was planning to visit them so I'll check out the show while I'm there! Great work btw too, and love the idea for the poster!

Doing some compositing tests in #Blender and I liked the two versions of this full composite and the black and white one that just isolates the bloom lights. Which one do you like better?

Passes for Toon-rendered vehicles #TEKKONKINKREET scene 1 shot 92. Hard-surfaces give clean contours, but we would often add jitter to the ink lines (similarly, splotches to the "paint")

I feel like these scenes must be so much easier to put together now than back then? I'm surprised I don't see this technique used more often.
