Holiday cheer and video shenanigans.
Hey, I just saw this really cool post of Rhode Montijo's Halloween-themed work. I have a large print of the bat/skeleton (the last image) on our wall - it is pretty boss! I got it from Mr. Montijo at APE one year. He was a super nice guy. I first found out about his stuff when Pirate gave me a copy of the complete Pablo's Inferno. It's a strange comic but I've always liked it; it's especially cool seeing how the art evolves over the course of the story. The tone and style in the beginning is really quite different from the end. It sorta gives me hope that a changing style can comfortably work in a single book.
Totally unrelated: I saw this video on a friend's blog.
DYING.
Ok, so they described it as the live action guys matching their performance to the anime, which is a rather impressive/terrifying thought. I watched this thing several times to compare the faces - it's crazy. I found the guys' channel; apparently they do a lot of goofy lip-synch videos. (I feel like it would be worth studying their facial expressions for cartooning.)
But I kinda wondered about the split-screen video. There was a weird rotoscope-y feel to the anime, and then there were other videos like this. A few clicks around Youtube easily turned up tons more of this wacky anime matchup stuff. I'm now fairly certain that there must be some kinda of match-move software, or something like an amped-up Gmod that allows people to animate these characters over/with existing video. It is all totally bizarre and hilarious and I have no idea why people are doing this.
*EDIT* OMG B JUST SENT THIS TO ME WHAT IS HAPPENING
