Man why did we get some idealistic stereotypical bullshit in the actual movie setting instead of this beautiful stuff

>>82627043
>Shit, if ONLY Mulan looked this awesome

Yeah, imagine if Alex Niño had made, say, a graphic novel adaptation of Mulan. (Niño was primarily a comics artist before becoming a concept/development artist for animation, and he freelanced as an artist for DC Comics, Warren Publishing, Marvel Comics, and Heavy Metal... though's not really a mainstream name, UK comics artist/historian David A. Roach rates him alongside Jack Kirby and Breccia as "one of comics' few genuine visionaries.")

>>82627066

Emperor's New Groove was a movie that took itself 0% seriously, and it really bugs me when cartoons do this. Every bit of the setting, the characters, the plot, etc was completely nonsensical with no root whatsoever in reality.

It's entertaining I guess, and that's what it was made to do, but it's just not memorable in any way

>>82627078
>Man why did we get some idealistic stereotypical bullshit in the actual movie setting instead of this beautiful stuff

Well, it is development art... the loss of detail is inevitable, I imagine. Alex Niño also worked as a visual development artist on Atlantis (I'm not sure what the hierarchy was between him and Mike Mignola) but I haven't found any scans of his work on that film.

Besides his work for Disney, Niño also worked as a model designer and artist for the short-lived Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light series from the 1980s.

Niño's final major work in animation was serving as one of the character designers on Treasure Planet. He's mostly retired these days, but has worked sporadically as a freelancer for Image Comics and other, smaller publishers.

For those of you interested in seeing his comics work, some of his work for Warren Publishing has been reprinted by Dark Horse in its Eerie and Creepy archive hardcovers. Unfortunately, his best work for Warren (in my opinion, at least) was in the 1984 and 1994 "adult fantasy" magazines, and those have never been reprinted as far as I know.

Fact: final product never comes out as good as the concept art

Incidentally, he also worked as an "additional visual development artist" on The Emperor's New Groove, although I don't if that means he was brought in to rework the Kingdom of the Sun visuals, or if he was already doing development work for Kingdom of the Sun before the decision was made to change it into The Emperor's New Groove.

>>82618983
There's a funny reason for that. These where done by the great Iwao Takamoto. What made him so great? He used be an assistant for Milt Kahl, one of the greatest animators of all time. In fact many of HB's animators where master animators from Disney and MGM who where fired as TV took over film.
