Creator
Style Study of Ralph Bakshi, circa 1991. (Meaning mostly Cool World, but with elements from Dragon’s Lair)
Observations:
-Bold, vibrant, yet simple colors
-Exaggerated curves, especially for women
-Exaggerated, dynamic, yet extremely well-balanced poses that convey movement
-Complex character design, yet simplified for ease of use when animating
-Use of rotoscoping for fluid, natural movement
-Single-width for all lines (though this is default for animation frames)
—
Takeaways for use in Aether Theorem:
-More exaggerated/dynamic poses to show movement in a still frame
-Possibly color-tracing hair outlines instead of black
-Possibly using a thinner brush, or even the pencil tool for some parts of lineart
--
Things that have ended up sticking: Using the Pencil Tool for lineart
