Amazingly, the end credit sequence for Rango was done in just a few weeks, yet it's a very accomplished and unique project that is founded on old school analogue handiwork, including intricate illustrations, woodcut art, and handdrawn typography, with a bit of Hendrix thrown in for good measure. Prologue 's creative director Henry Hobson reconstructs the process and shares the beautiful concept art that he and his team created. Hobson talks to us via Skype about the making of Rango , from the relative quietness of Kyle Cooper 's windowless office on the ground floor of Prologue , temporarily removed from the hustle and the bustle of the studio space on the second floor, where the designers are working. I asked what the space looks like. “The view is just his books and ephemera, which is an interesting perspective.

Illustration
In this post we’ll be looking at some excellent examples of retro-style illustration: those belonging to Dan Page . He is an illustrator who has managed to combine the simple, descriptive graphics of the retro style with illustration concepts that span from surrealism to extremely intelligent puns. The result is striking and hard to shake off: the visual effect of his illustrations is all the more powerful because of this unusual combinations of the retro style, that conveys conformism to a fixed set of social rules and a certain rigid mentality and the often very controversial, unconventional and mind-blowing subjects adopted. The concept behind each illustration is in fact essential to Dan Page. As he admits himself: “At the core of what I do is the ‘idea’ behind each image, communication with pictures or creating a thought provoking image is what makes me move forward.”

Evolution of mammals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The evolution of mammals has passed through many stages since the first appearance of their synapsid ancestors in the late Carboniferous period. By the mid- Triassic , there were many synapsid species that looked like mammals. The lineage leading to today's mammals split up in the Jurassic ; synapsids from this period include Dryolestes , more closely related to extant placentals and marsupials than to monotremes , as well as Ambondro , more closely related to monotremes . [ 1 ] Later on, the eutherian and metatherian lineages separated; the metatherians are the animals more closely related to the marsupials while the eutherians are those more closely related to the placentals.
