Resizing experiment:

"Loathsome Worlds"
(png) was boosted up to 150 resolution. Wonder if the image will be larger when you click to "Open Large"?


What is a "PNG"?

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) as an image-file format not requiring a patent license.

This takes longer to "Open Large" and it is much bigger when you click on the magnification.
I never noticed the other element used to make this poster/drawing more exciting. The shape of the chairs, tongue, shoe and head of Lupo are all the same. The sharp 'teeth-like' shape adds to the volume of sound of this image. For all that's going on in here, it's very simple to unite all these elements and keeps them point your eye in the same direction.

Here's some fantastic late 80's Original 'One-of-A-Kind' Production Art from Ralph Bakshi Productions by John Kricfalusi creator of "Ripping Friends", "Ren and Stimpy" and "George and Jimmy". His extreme cartoon style pushed cartoon history to the edge of the future!
The way the gun is in silhouette makes it very clear who's going to get out alive. Lots of black in all of these.

These images were from "Unfiltered The Complete Ralph Bakshi"
This one was found on the internet. All these are inked line on large cels and rear painted. The attention to detail and excitement of shapes are beyond words.
