I think the response to this one shows that they missed the mark a bit. its all very competent, but something is definitely askew. i don’t think the point is that blur could have done a better job, it’s that it feels like a weak blur imitation.

They’ve shifted gears to full illustration - even their staff is packed with illustrators. Buck’s good at applying a wide range of styles but their work is becoming more and more like Psyop’s… http://buck.tv/work/ravens-dragons Then again, name a mograph shop that Psyop hasn’t influenced.

Regarding characters and animation, no-one can run with them. But I dig this one, specially the last scene, those worms full of teeth. Well done! Yeah!, I love Studio aka.

I don't know how to begin saying that as artists, we need to be able to convey messages as efficiently as possible, to meet the needs of our audience(s), constantly aware of all trends, techniques, emerging techniques, etc... It is a tremendous responsibility to create something intriguing and timeless that inspires viewers' minds to fill in the blanks with their own unique visions, based on our stimuli. It is the goal to create a bond that transcends words, senses, thoughts; it must immortalize the artwork. I would think that ink would only be hell for Dostoevsky after he finished writing Brothers of Karamazov. Sure, I agree fire works, but take it further than that. Use the smoke to create tension, use restraint, make it darker, try to increase scale. It's a great idea, and I'm sure the client loved it. Well, it’s a start.

I imagine the air quality and atmosphere in Hell isn't static, it's smouldering, it's flaming, it's unorderly- it's on fire! wouldn't you say that smoke and ink are the right materials to describe a hellish Hell, trendy or not? yes, ink and smoke are the new lens flare, but keep in mind, their task was to create a vision of Hell.

Almost all of their ads lately are full of it. It seems as if the designers have no better ideas. I agree with you.
