Medusa by Nick DiLiberto

Really nice short:



I like how this is an action film with a very unique look. It starts in action and never lets up. I kinda wish we got a better read on the Medusa at the beginning but the rest is really good. Awesome work.

Drawing Inspiration

Here's a great short called Drawing Inspiration:

Even better is the production blog: http://drawinginspirationproduction.blogspot.com/

The thing I like about the blog is how it developed. The main wino character changed pretty dramatically from the beginning to the end. I love the page of faces that he did, trying to find the face. I think he made a great choice going with a more stylized look.

Great stuff.
