TO THE ASPIRING ARTISTS OUT THERE...." I haven't reached the point where I think I'm good at this. that's the drive. i know that its in me to be really good at it. and i think i've come close a few times, but i don't usually look at things i've completed and feel content. Which that means the next thing you start, you go in with that attitude that 'this time, I'm gonna get it right.' it doesnt mean you hate everything you do, but i'm never content. And maybe i never will be but i secretly know that that's what makes you grow." - Jamie Hewlett

I HATE THIS GUY. Seriously. I quit, LOL.I discovered Kim Jung Gi during my years living in South Korea when I came across his first sketchbook in '09. It was a blue and red bible of non-stop art. it made me cry. SEEING him do what he does, however, makes me contemplating giving up art altogether, lol. T________T #SoGood

DeviantART, you're doing it wrong.Warning! Rant below! XD
Last night Deviantart posted an update on a new widget that is available to beta testers at the moment; deviantart commissions!
Yes it's a widget that want to make it easier to manage your commission and payments. I squeeled when I first saw the title on the article, because I think that in theory it's a really good idea!
But then I started reading the article for real, and I was not so impressed anymore...
For me, this widget has tre major flaws;
First off, the widget is kind of limited on what kind of commission you want to offer, and the price is more or less set in stone. One price for each offer.
That doesn't work for me since I sometimes raise or lower my price depending on details and backgrounds.
Second. The commissioners must pay me in dA points only if I use this widget.
No paypal, no other type of money transfer... just... points. It's just fucked up, and I see no reason that my commissioners should have to buy dA points to be able to commission me!

Listening to: KENDRICK LAMAR :SWIMMING POOLS
Reading: TMNT SCRIPTS
Watching: TMNT EPISODES
Playing: POSSUM
Eating: WACK ARTISTS ALIVE
Drinking: WATER

Directed by John Kahrs, Disney has just posted the complete film online. Pretty much the greatest blending of 2D/CGI compositing i've ever seen. Brings back the feel of how powerful 2D is ( when it isn't being talked down next to CGI). Brilliant stuff!

This is so beautiful, when I first saw it my eyes watered.
I would love to join a team to continue developing this sort of technique in the near future.

Do you know what software they're using for the calculated vector lines?

*OceanwaveII Feb 5, 2013

Damn that's good very good lol... think they've finally achieved getting a 2D look and feel in animation , It more fluid than traditional animation though.

~Prophet-Blaq Feb 3, 2013

Respect for posting this up, when I seen this in the movie I got into some funk with some1 over if it was 3d or 2d and had no idea it was both. Watching the break downs really helps too. Also you really inspire a lot of young kats out her my self included so thank you and I hope your art keeps takin you higher.
