Hey animators - David Oreilly is letting you download his 3d characters. Go nuts.
Students, I’d be much happier seeing demo reels with a few animation tests using some of these badass characters instead of filling them with those crappy models they give you in class. Take note!

Simplicity is not about making something without ornament, but rather about making something very complex, then slicing elements away, until you reveal the very essence.
After all the slicing away, you may realize, now that you can clearly see the idea, that it’s actually not very good.
Christoph Niemann in his New Yorker piece on how he built his new Petting Zoo app.
He is one of my favorite illustrators for a reason. Even when he writes an article describing his process be brings his charm and wit and creates a beautiful visual essay out of it. The app is great too - The kind of stuff you can do with the animals in it are similar to what we were trying to do with Squidgy.

“How many is this?”
“112.”
“Jesus, Jeffrey, I only asked for 30.”
“I brought 112.”
“Well, I can’t help you. I only need 30.”
“You buy all.”
“No, Jeffrey. I buy 30.”
“You buy all or I leave.”
“Jeffrey…”
“Goodbye.”
Jeffrey put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, turned the key and drove on. He didn’t need him. He didn’t need anyone. -
Velociraptors and Fries
I remember going to see Jurassic Park when I was a kid. Several times.
Going to McDonald’s afterwards and getting a T-Rex burger or whatever their special theme meal was. I remember feeling completely free and happy. Awestruck at the mightiness of what I had just seen at the theater, fulfilled by the deliciousness of the burger, excited by what I would do in the future: I would build a dinosaur park and serve burgers all day to the visitors. I would do it right, unlike those idiots on Isla Nublar.
The dinosaur park never happened (obviously, you’d be there right now!). With age I realized the events in the movie were a warning. I realized it would happen to my park too. Dinosaurs were crazy. Also, I wasn’t Alan Grant. Or Malcom. I was more like Timmy, and that guy was damn useless, wasn’t he?
I still eat burgers but I gave up ambitions to make a dinosaur park. I became an artist instead. But, I’m more like Alan now.

It’s hard to communicate anything without some creative and/or image assets, but can we otherwise make it look a bit snazzier from a graphical perspective?
(via clientsfromhell)No problem.
