Thanks to Jean Denis Haas at Spungella, I rediscovered the work of incredible Austrian character designer Florian Satzinger. I got acquainted with his work through an interview on Character design blogspot few years ago.

I just found that great blog from some Insomniac concept artist. Too bad most of their sketchbooks are sold out.
I would love to model some of their characters one day.
[edit] well I just started 😉 Proportion are off, it is a very rough pass.

Despicable me
I am frustrated by the lack of cartoony games those days but in contrast it is such a treat to see so many cartoony movies coming out.
Here is the new “Despicable me” trailer.

Disney Aracuan
Mark Kennedy from the “Temple of the Seven Golden Camels” wrote a nice post about Character design some time ago. This will inaugurate the creation of a new Character Design category on my blog. Character design is something I would like to focus on one day but this is not my priority right now. In the meantime I will collect articles that could prove useful.

His post made me realise that there are potentially two approaches to character design:

Thanks Keith for the heads up, with Philip Hunt, Marc Craste is also one of my favourite directors. I guess that video was shot during Berlin’s Pictoplasma exhibition earlier this year.

Animation Mentor just posted a great conversation between Disney producer Don Hahn and Bobby Beck about the life of Disney’s life drawing teacher Walt Stanchfield. Walt Stanchfield was a keen tennis player but more than anything an immense inspiration for everyone at Disney. His family also released his famous notes if you didn’t get the previous pdfs

Un Monstre a Paris
Curious about “Monstre à Paris”? Max Vallon, one of the animators just posted a short video clip from the teaser that was shown in Annecy last year. The animation is 3d and the backgrounds are matte painted/camera mapped. For having seen the whole sequence, I can tell you that the rest is even better.
[update] most links are dead but I just found a video on youtube
