Great start! Strikes me as maybe more of a Disney-style than what I would typically associate with anime, do you have any references you are working towards?
Nice work Neox, one of the best 3d renditions of a Disney character I've seen. Are you using a multi-layer shader with falloff to achieve the cartoon/plastic look or something fancier?
Ah damn, I missed you in Richmond (moved out from there this summer), but if you're ever coming to Disney World or to watch shuttles take off, I'll be happy to be your host.
Yeah, that was a bummer, especially when you realize that he also did "The Grinch Song", as well as a lot of Voice work for Disney (Inclusing the "Haunted House". His voice will be missed. Scott
