"The Illusionist" is Finally Here!!























Sylvain Chomet's new 2D feature "The Illusionist" is finally finished. I worked on the film up in Scotland as a Digital artist for a year. Follow this LINK to see finished shots from the film (Some of which i worked on) and Sylvain talking about the project.
It's a beautiful film with some of the best animation I have ever seen in my life. Lets hope, 2010 is going to be the year that brings hand drawn animation back to life....

More lovely stills,and HD now!

Apparently we are not allowed to show any work from the Illusionist in our showreels, says a certain someone, however we can use the trailer when it comes out! o_O

I think you could be right about this year being the rebirth of hand drawn animation. Lets hope so anyway!

:) Awesome! Really looking forward to this. I hope this year does turn out pretty sweet, last year was pretty good too, what with Ponyo and The Secret Of Kells holdin up the handrawn pillars!! :D Hope things are well!

Oh and those are really kickass big cat drawings, there's about a thousand stories on the face of the lion there, you can almost hear it.
