This Easter Sunday, I released a rough cut of The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut Mark 4 HD.

This is a restoration of the unfinished masterpiece by 3-time Academy Award winning animator Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, A Christmas Carol).

It is still a work in progress. It is missing music, the HD material is not yet cleaned up [except for the opening], and color correction and other aspects are not yet final. I will continue to restore the film throughout this year.

However, I thought I'd share the dazzling results so far, with thanks to everyone who's helped out and ]]> http://tygerbug.deviantart.com/journal/Happy-birthday-Richard-Williams-360377612 http://tygerbug.deviantart.com/journal/Happy-birthday-Richard-Williams-360377612 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:46:31 PDT Happy birthday Richard Williams! nonadult journals/personal tygerbug http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/y/tygerbug.jpg?1 Copyright 2013 *tygerbug

That means a complex, high-quality black-and-white drawing of whatever you like. If it's a pony, it's very likely to be vectored and colored by the very talented Dentist73548 or another vector artist. If it's a human or other complex character, that's probably what I do best.

I put a lot of thought, time and effort into these, as much as anything I do for myself. Many of the drawings in my gallery were commissions. I enjoy hearing what people want to see, and making it happen.
