PRINCESS YUM YUM...and tack




I loved Thief and the cobbler by Richard Williams, it was done before CGI and I say that because there are moments which you would think could only be done with a computer and the fact that they were hand drawn will blow you away. Make sure to see the recobbled version if possible, well worth it.
I also highly recommend Williams book on animation, a treasure trove of goodness whether you animate or not.
I drew Princess Yum Yum in a more damsel in distress way which is quite the opposite of how she was in the film. She's quite the independent gal. But at the end, Tack steps it up a notch and kind of sweeps her off her feet, so that's more where this one was coming from.

I haven't seen that in YEARS. You definitely captured the look of it though. Especially the figurework.

This is really good Keith and very different from some of your other work.

Thanks George and Tony!
I had just watched the last part of it and was reminded of it's awesom-ness!
