Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
Unlike the re-imaginings of Star Wars characters in old world Japan that I’ve posted, Terry Cook went the fine art route and painted them in watercolor. And I do mean ‘fine art’ as the artist has rendered these portraits skillfully enough to rate display on the best wall of any home or gallery.
Darth Vader
Grand Moff Tarkin – an often overlooked character
Boba Fett
Master Yoda
Imperial Storm Trooper
C3PO and R2D2
You can find all 11 prints at Terry Cook’s website.
I’m not usually a fan of rotoscope animation, but this is not your ordinary rotoscopy. It’s done in watercolor. This gives the video an interesting nuance and ‘mixability’ between the colors and gradients. The watercolor also adds an extra texture (and at times, angularity). The flow and transition of the animation draws you along as well.
Irina Dakeva (of french-based wizz design) animated and directed this music video for Breakbot‘s “Baby I’m Yours“.
