I made this illustration in 1997, as the first Vis Dev piece for the film.
My first two films were done in drawn/cel techniques, so I wanted to try something different for this one, which was cut-out puppet technique.
Black and White color scheme with symbolic & surreal shapes, patterns, and atmosphere for the environment. Since then, there have been so much changes in the art direction and techniques during the last 15 year production..., though.
