Not many people know this but the muses in Hercules have names; Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore, and Thalia. I didn’t realize this up until a few years ago and my mind was completely blown. 

They don’t need names to be amazing!

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.

Tangled comparisons - concept art to the final film. 

why the fuck is the concept art so much better

because 3D animation sucks the life out of movies

or because illustration is different than animation? !? ??! ?! ?

This post has been going around a bit and really bothered me. In case anyone is unaware, with illustration you can spend lots of time on one image, where in animation you spend lots of time on A LOT of different images to make a cohesive whole. Each piece of concept art has a very different feel to it, which is what led to the final movie having a set look to it. But all the aspects that are great about the concept art are in the movie as well; lighting, color scheme, atmosphere and atmospheric perspective, character design, etc. The only difference is that the illustration is a frame and the movie is thousands of frames. The amount of detail they got in this movie, considering the process, was really impressive to me. 

how does 3D animation suck the life out of movies?
it’s not any easier than 2D animation. You still have to do so much work. The animation does just ~*~**~*~happen**~*~*~~. there is no animate button that does all the work. it’s still a person doing the animation. do u understand

I don’t agree that it sucks the life out of movies, maybe you do and that’s your opinion. But don’t put down the people who do like it and who work that way. And a side note to people who invalidate 3D animation as a style, a word to the wise: if you’re gonna bitch that 3D animation isn’t real animation kindly shut your mouth you literally couldn’t be more wrong. 

ok thank you goodbye

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT GOOD GRIEF IT’S ABOUT TIME.

i think it’s very important to watch for all artists even if you’re not studying animation. the last 3 minutes are really inspiring.

Hi, I’m Pug, and I am a character design artist.

I made these mini reference drawings for any future Lion King art I may want to do later on. Feel free to use this as a reference, as well. :)
