A big collective cheer came from hand-drawn animation fans as Disney’s Animation Research Library confirmed on its facebook page that Ron Clements and John Musker are working on Disney’s next hand-drawn animated film. Although, that’s all they could reveal about the project.

As listed above, Ron and John are the legendary team that have brought many Disney 2D-animated classics to life since the ’80s. We’re beyond excited to hear this news for two reasons: 1) Disney’s has more hand-drawn animated films in the works (meaning the medium is not dead) and 2) Disney has put this project is good, seasoned hands.

Unfortunately, nothing more is known about this project: no name, no plot, no release date, no nothing! Most likely the project is still very early in the pipeline and won’t be released until at least after 2014. Most likely if they were further along, Disney would have revealed more info about the project at CinemaCon like they did with Wreck-It Ralph and Pixar did with its upcoming features.

A 2D feature!

IT’S ALIVE!

… More so than this blog right now.

My last animation of the semester, titled “Enormous Chicken Adventure”. Finally remembered to put it up.

It’s a short, hand-drawn animated sting for the the 4th year Grad Show at Edinburgh College of Art. The original scenario was proposed by Alexandru Nechifor.

It’s not, by any means, my best work. But for having just over a week to go from concept to fully finished, I’m happy enough. Heck, I even got to try warp-pan again, with decent success. Could be worse.

Black or white… aghhhh… Working on Leo right now. 

I personally really like the white version as an illustration! It lends a lot of contrast to the dark background (and I love how it breaks the bg rectangle). Even so, he looks kind of like a badass anti-hero/villain? So, hmm… Maybe the black would suit him better outside of this illustration.
This is freaking awesome, Euge. *O* 

Amanda, I agree with you about the contrast against the background, but I like it much better with the black. 

Gah, I’m also torn! I agree with the contrast but the black is just so… idk, awesome, lol.

As much as I like either, If you’re trying to convey what the text/title describes, then I would go with white. If it’s more about character design, then I’d shoot for black. leirazamzam:

Cartoonist and Comics Journal columnist Frank Santoro is about to start the second of his correspondence courses, with a deadline for applications of May 30th. Complete details here. You might know Frank from his books Cold Heat and Storeyville, or more recent turns in Sammy Harkham’s…

ooo Amanda, you might find this interesting.

And the last set of drawings from my trip to the Edinburgh zoo.

Andrea and I also were walking around the city yesterday on a hunt for a composer.

Andrea’s legs didn’t want to go.

On that note, Andrea and I need a composer for our grad film next year. It’s going to be a three minute animated film. Know anyone who’d be interested? ARE YOU INTERESTED? Or, have you gone composer-hunting before, and have any advice? Let us know? 8D

Compose for Emily. You know you want to.

Heck, I’m sure most of our anim department could use some composers.

i’ve been away for a bit with Kristen Campbell (http://okutonic.tumblr.com) to do a 48hr animation competition in Stuttgart, Germany. It was for the ITFS festival! It was super wonderful - we were doing it in a bookstore and the public could come in and watch us work. We were the only North American team and were honoured to win!

I hope y’all enjoy it!

This is Freaky awesome!!!

You guys did an amazing job, congrats!!

OH MAN, This is so excellent! Great job you guys!

My first attempt at landscape/ watercolor painting, at the Queen Elizabeth Park with @eldritch48 (Taken with instagram)

Karla, you must teach me your magic ways with watercolour. I still run the 50/50 risk of mud every time I try.

GUYS GUYS

I DERW A TREH  :D

The most perfect tree in Scotland. An ancient, twisted, and stubby hawthorn (I knock my head on the bottom branches) just a little west and a field uphill from my Grandparent’s house. I’ve been meaning to draw it for ages.

Isn’t it just the best tree? (though I think hawthorns are technically a shrub)
