The Hangman


These magnificent dark romantic paintings are by Paul Julian one of the best artist of warner brothers in the forties and fiefties.
They belong to the animation movie THE HANGMAN produced already in 1964. I suppose Stephen King used part of it as inspiration for his Dark Tower novels.
Anyway, more of this terrific artwork you’ll find here.

Pixel Apocalypse

Probably one of best apocalyptic clips on Youtube is PIXELS by Patrick Jean. It’s very clever planned and well-realized. Old classic video games are destructing New York converting it into pixels.

Post-Apocalyptic 3D City

3DRT produces 3D models which can be used by developers of multimedia applications and games. On their homepage 3DRT.com offers a lot of stuff: characters, vehicles, arms, spaceships and whole cities. I was especially interested in the cities and really surprised that half of these consist in ruins. It seems that day and night-versions of an abandoned city are the most important things, that game developers need today.

Nice photos but here the animation on YouTube

Construction of Virtual Ruins

Visiting blogs of my followers, what I routinely do because many have similar interests, I discovered the beautiful project of James Garner. He made a 3D animation about the alien ruins in H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Mountains of Madness. I don’t understand much of animations, but always thought it must be a great lot of work.

Therefore I found it interesting that someone describes it in detail illustrated with a lot of images. Garner starts with some raw sketches and ends up with a convincing video clip.



It’s also interesting to read where he took his inspirations from, how he built up his own vision of ruins to construct these virtual ones
