15 years ago- ALITA!

Back in 2004, Blur was engaged in doing a promotion for a soon-to-be-world-changing game platform. The project involved promoting the then-nascent James Cameron Alita project. James Clyne and (I forget the other superstar, to my shame) did absolutely beautiful concept paintings in the powerful, impressionistic style of the day, and I was given the task of making them work practically in CG. It was a dream assignment, as I was a real Alita/Gunnm fanboy- what a marvelous manga! I recently watched the film so may years later- and ,ong after it's release- and was delighted to see the respect for that manga in bringing that wonderful character to life. Here's a first dump of what I did on that project- enjoy.
