My little pipeline!

October 13th, 2007 No comments


It looks like my pipeline is almost complete now! Although I’ll probably have to get a proper compositing software at some point. I’m thinking After Effects, since most of the other software is Adobe; at least I get some free compatibility!

The Rackham book (bis)

October 13th, 2007 No comments


Woohoo, I finally found the book on Rackham I mentioned earlier! :) Actually it’s the English version, and the title doesn’t mention any “enchanter”, but it’s all the same!

Super, alors c’est officialement genial n’est-ce pas: j’ai trouve le bouquin en question! :) C’est la version anglaise avec un titre un peu different, mais c’est le meme!

One glance through those pages and the source of inspiration of so many artists becomes so apparent (Brian Froud, Alan Lee, John Howe…etc…).

Un seul regard a travers ces pages, et l’inspiration de nombre d’illustrateurs devient tres evidente…

Rackham book

October 13th, 2007 Comments off

 

We see here an illustration by Arthur Rackham, for the reverent Dogson’s “Alice In Wonderland“.

Recently, when I was near Toulouse, a friend of mine presented me with a French book called “Arthur Rackham: L’Enchanteur Bien-Aime“. It’s a fantastic book chock-full of the master’s illustrations, and a fairly complete account of customes and fashion. It has a lot of very unique and interesting designs, and it goes in-depth on the history or making-of of some of them. In one they talked about alpaca scarf, and I was quite gripped by the story of how the idea came to be.

Stories of fashion and clothing design was not something I was expecting to peak my interest, but this book is very well written. Besides, it’s always fun to learn about something new.
