A long time ago, when I was a fledgling animation major frustrated and angry with how all the big animation studios in my country had ditched drawn animation for CGI, I came across a crowdfund campaign for a series of steampunk-themed animated shorts, drawn by hand and directed by former Disney animator James Lopez. Desperate to help show that there was still a market for what I saw as a beautiful and expressive medium unfairly kneecapped by the very companies who depended on it to rise to the top, I threw some money at the project and hoped that Lopez and his team would someday see it to fruition.

A lot has gone by in, what, a decade? But now, coinciding with a new wave of indie animation online, the first of the Hullabaloo series has finally arrived.

I look forward to seeing the rest soon, as they are released.

Charon's Obol Process

The thing with portraits that I learned the hard way is that you have to get a "read" of it before you start laying tones down. I do this by having a zoomed out version of the ref photo so I can see what stands out. Otherwise, it's very easy to get carried away and pore over the smallest details over getting the likeness right. I think I got it but something nags me as always. Perhaps it will pass. Jim Caviezel is not very forgiving in that regard. I don't think I have ever got him truly right but this is definitely better than last time.

I don't usually do thumbnails or palettes but it helped to do a little sketch with the colors I would like to see. I wanted green but what I had in mind was a traditional artist on instagram who laid a deep green as a foundation for a skin tone, and through the application of other layers he achieved a very rich, realistic skin tone. I don't think I have the artistic balls to start with green yet.

The background is me going nuts with rectangular and circular selections, gradients and custom eraser brushes. Paintstorm has a neat little feature where you can make a brush an eraser instantly.

It could probably use some improvement but if I stare at my paintings too long I go insane so I just finish them as soon as I can.

A few interesting things from Max's interview on MDR yesterday:

- during filming of "Zwei zu Eins", Max shared an apartment with Ronald Zehrfeld at the location. He jokes that one of them snores but he wouldn't name names 😜

- when asked why he keeps to himself, Max says over the years, he has had his experiences, for him, interviews are mainly about work. He believes an actor should maintain a certain mystery, so he can play different characters. That if people know about his private life, they might compare it with the character he plays and not quite believe him (in the film) anymore. For the same reason, he doesn't do commercials. Unless he has fallen into hard times 😂

- he picks film/TV projects based on intuition. It depends on who he trusts, what he feels like doing. Sometimes film locations and people he will be working with play a part too. When he reads the script, he wants to be able to imagine it straight away (if he can do it). He also trusts the casting process.

- for sports, he likes to go running and do yoga to wake himself up in the morning, follow by a cold shower (👀), but kickboxing is still his passion. He also likes playing football. And he plays table tennis at home (OP: I already know he has a hammock at home, now a table tennis table? how big is his damn apartment?)

- When asked if he watches his old stuff, Max says not at the moment. But his mother collects all his films, so he knows they are there. Maybe later, he says.

- For current projects, Max mentions he will be filming in Venice in October (OP: I thought Max has already finished filming Silvio Soldini's "The Tasters", but maybe not?)

They also played a game called "2 to 1", where Max needs to find two objects to match the weight of one object at the other end. Max picked an Oscar statue and won the game, of course.

Also, "Zwei zu Eins" is the indie summer hit in German cinemas, grossing over 3.3 million euros. The film's distribution rights have been sold to more regions: Scandinavia, Hungary, the Baltics, Israel and Latin America ❤

Ridley Scott: I made a film about two rival officers constantly duelling throughout and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, and now I've actually done a film about Napoleon!

Me: Great! Could you also do a film about Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, a vital innovator in European battlefield surgery and triage, often considered the first military surgeon; who pioneered the ambulance volantes ("Flying ambulances") to quickly transport wounded men from the battlefield, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units; co-led the team that performed one of the first accurately recorded pre-anaesthetic mastectomies in Western medicine; was spotted helping wounded men while under heavy fire during the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington who purposefully ordered for his soldiers not to fire in Larrey's direction; and when captured by the Prussians after the battle was about to be executed on the spot when he was recognised by one of the German surgeons, who pled for his life because he had saved the life of Field Marshall Blücher's son some years earlier?

Ridley Scott:

Ridley Scott: Um.

Me: Yeah. Didn't think so.

Moments like these were so beautiful about her, he thought. The way she looked after the children as they ran back to their parents or siblings, some of them straight to their tents. When she was unobserved and on her own. Lost in thought. Herself. Sometimes he had the feeling that he could read her every emotion, even if he was in no position to assume it. They simply hadn't known each other long enough for that. Initially he thought, they had only met briefly, like two straight lines that intersected at one point, only to move further apart at a steady pace. But their meeting had taken on a different character; they were sine curves that ran at different intervals, but always met at regular points. Perhaps they would eventually converge more and more. Or maybe not. A beautiful prospect and a  pleasant  feeling  that  accompanied  the  uncertainty  of  things. Sometimes it came over him when he thought about her for a long time. This warm feeling spreading through his body. Those were the beautiful moments of the last few weeks.

“Ouch!” he laughed and looked down at her, theatrically placing his hand on his chest as if pain was coursing through his innermost being. “How blind I was, entranced by thy visage, believing at last I'd found one who heeded my tales,” the blonde claimed, looking down at the brunette. How pretty she was, he thought. For a moment, he paused as he studied her eyes, her lips. The longer he looked (was he staring already?), the more nervous he became. What if anything would change in their relationship if he made a move now that he couldn't foresee the consequences of? Of everything he had encountered so far, humans were the more complex beings, whose  thought  processes  he  could  not  always  comprehend. Overwhelmed, he looked around the camper, examining individual objects as he wiped his clammy hands on his black jeans. “So... we could either watch a movie or something or read or see if there's anything exciting happening in the woods tonight: Eerie whispers, forest spirits, hints for ancient civilizations, strange lights, young couples making out in ways no one really wants to see? Really the stuff dreams are made of, if you ask me. What'd you be down for?”
