Another recent Animation Obsessive article that I really like: this one about Hayao Miyazaki's gorgeous image boards. Miyazaki's image boards aren't storyboards, but they're not fleshed out concept art either; they kind of sit somewhere in between. animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-image-...

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Shigeru Miyamoto x Kenji Eno (1996) - shmuplations.com

In July 1996, Kenji Eno visited Nintendo HQ to speak with Shigeru Miyamoto as the first of his "cross-talk" series.

Hidetaka Miyazaki hold hands with an unseen entity that's wearing little cartoon gloves. The entity says "I love you, Hidetaka Miyazaki." Miyazaki respons "I love YOU, poison swamp." He makes out with the swamp. Miyazaki's poison meter starts going up.

Thanks to some GB Studio wizards at the discord, I was able to get SEAMLESS SPRITE SHEET SWAPS working as a workaround to that 1 frame graphical hiccup that you can hopefully see here (may be tricky with bsky video compression). Sharing the tech for bsky folks here in this 🧵: #gbstudio #gameboy

Gotcha

3 panel comic strip rendered in an old fashioned crosshatch style: In front of a crowd, a somber clown is imprisoned in a guillotine as the executioner asks: "Gotcha the Clown... have you any final words?" The clown responds, "Just one..." The body behind the guillotine crumples as a very tiny clown exits the head-hole. "Gotcha!" he exclaims. The crowd applaud and wave their hats. Even the executioner has to suppress a smile.

Opoona (2007, Nintendo Wii) 📽️ Captured on an actual Wii. @houseplantsinvg.bsky.social #OpoonaPosting

Opoona stands in front of a wonderful tropical arrangement inside of a hotel.

Opoona admires a lush potted plant in an upscale store.

Opoona leans in to get a better look at the trees planted inside the SpeedCoaster Station.

Eventually, Nintendo decided Mario and Luigi were different heights. There's subtle shade about this in SMBDX. Not only must Peach kneel to thank Mario, but the "camera" is tilted down, showing more foreground like you would photographing shorter subjects. thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/mario101

The ending screen of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, which is different for Mario and Luigi. Luigi is Peach's height and they can look into each other's eyes, but Mario is so short that Peach has to crouch down to do that to him. The perspective of the ending screen for Mario is even altered so that it shows more of the foreground, in the way it would be if a photographer tilted his camera down in order to capture subjects that were shorter than normal. This is actually very funny.

I dunno why but I get the feeling they drew the Tyris frames first and then traced them for the remaining characters when doing the back turning poses in the endings for the PC-Engine version of Golden Axe

I drew Ethel Cain in MacPaint from 1984 with a 25 year old mouse

image is of a program window within Mac OS 6 of MacPaint. The drawing within the program is a pixelated 1bit rendering of Ethel Cain on a black background with her looking over her shoulder, arm bent and hand resting on her head with her fair flowing toward the right of the composition.

Writers: what’s a solid piece of *craft* advice you wish you’d known sooner? Mine is this: when making writing decisions, always stop and ask yourself what is best for the SCENE. What are the scene’s goals? Does this sentence, this paragraph, this line of dialogue serve those goals? If not, fix it.
