very good quality of animation and character design, imaginative, fun and just plain brilliant! I never would've thought of Maxwell as a rendering engine of choice for this type of animation!! looks really great.
Iorek 10 months ago

Love the upside-down mouth style design; a genius play on the whole 'is that real or cgi' debate, fantastic work. Ship design reminded me of the grand, if a bit top-heavy 'Vasa', at the Vasamuseet in Stockholm! Added to my channel: vimeo.com/channels/cowboyicecream
