Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli is an AMAZING animation studio. What makes them so different? Their style. Their attention to detail. Example: In Spirited Away, the young girl and main character, Chihiro, takes off her shoes earlier in the series. When she is about to leave, she puts them back on, and after she ties them, she gets up, and taps her foot to adjust her shoe on properly.
Who honestly does that in animations anymore? Simple... pure elements of the world we dont pay attention to. Usually animators cut out this "non-sense" that "takes time out of the real meaning" of the movie... but I wis they could incorporate more..... Purely beautiful.

Almost Done....
Anizona thing.
Need to finish leg and tail, then do a final color touch up on my mac since I know this is probably horribly desaturated because I tend to do that heavily on my PC.... >.>
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This is going to be used for school
I figure, I will use this for school perposes... for my sketch blog, and for recording my thought process for Ideation and process.
Our question this week is "Who is our audience?"
For me, it really is the people. I have a fascination with seeing what people think, feel, know... I love communication. I love being able to explain how I feel about a subject, and then hearing what others have to hear. Everyone has their own take, but somehow a completely different object can still hold a same root, but have completely different meanings in the minds of others.
I want people to share that same fascination. That interest... to make them laugh, to cry, to learn, to teach, to experience... to share. So, my audience needs to be able to give me feed back, and needs to share with me what they know and learn or experienced. My audience needs to be people, or at least something that can speak with me... animals could be a way of that too, through their body language.... example, if I give my cat food, how does he react? etc.
My audience probably has to be me somewhat too. I need to be able to examine what I understand, and still learn something new from that understanding. Which strangely, you can come to conclusions on your own by thinking of something you already know about, and pairing it with something else you know about. It's like addition, is a weird twisted way... yet the answer is infinity, and you just have to point your finger on the closest part of that infinity that makes sense. Sometimes it does just go on forever, though, and you have to stop and call it a night from thinking.
......... It really is forever.
Jeeze... the mind... it really is.
And here's where I stop, because my head is hurting now from thinking :)
