Yes, that's totally understandable as well. I
myself like hand drawn art a lot, I think the
imperfections add quite a bit to it. But...when
you consider that these production companies
have serious deadlines and budgets to contend
with, as well as the demand on their staff and
the speed at which fans want their shows on the
air...there's just no room for artsy-fartsy (and
I use that term affectionately). Id rather
sacrafice the little lovable nuances of hand
drawn animation in order to give the fans a more
clean, nicer looking, spiffier done show, as
well as faster and cheaper to boot. I mean...I
totally understand where you're coming from, as
I deal with it all the time at my job. There's a
love in hand created things that does lose
something when you take it to digital. But...in
the professional art world, whether it be video
games, animation, movies, etc...I can tell you
now, clients want the digital for it's sharpness
and quality, as well as the speed and
practicality. Both sides have their pros and
cons. Working as a digital artist, I can tell
you..if you're good at what you do...you can
still have that hand created love in your work,
regardless of what medium you use. It will
show. Love Hina was all digitally painted..but
I still see the care that went into the art, the
characters, and the story..the medium in which
it was created never even entered my mind... |
