Mythika: Some BG and Inspiration

Hey all!

A lot of ppl asking me where the idea for Mythika Prime came from, so I thought I'd address it here.  I've always been fascinated by puppetry, it seemed like such a primal form of animation; a person literally breathing life into an inanimate object.

I was really inspired by different forms of puppetry around the world during the making of Mythika Prime, I love the craftsmanship and the obvious love and care that went into each piece.  I wanted to fuse that language with that of modern animation into something that felt tactile, yet still had a powerful graphic feel to it.  Below are 2 pieces that particularly guided me in the development of this personal project.

Hope you enjoy the work so far, more to come!
