The Sad Legacy of Winsor McCay

Description

A passion project that I made for an Anime themed art gallery. After reading Animator's Survival Kit front-to-back, I found out about Winsor McCay and how he is singlehandedly responsible for making animation a viable medium. To anyone who is reading this, if there is an animation that you deeply regard as art or has had a profound affect on your life, then you have this man to thank for it. Sure there are animations that exist before his time, but he's the first animator to present it in a way that showed off animations incredible potential. He is the quintessencial Godfather of Animation as we know it.
I go into further detail about him and the characters surrounding him in this flash presentation: muffyn-man.deviantart.com/art/…

Tools used: Copic Multiliner, NeoPiko Sepia Pens, and Copic Sketch Markers on Vellum Paper.

I have to major respect for Winsor Mccay, his art and his animations are amazing to look at.
Nice work, though!
