so i’ve been wanting to do a cover for @chessna2 for a long time but i didn’t know WHEN to start it let alone know what it was gonna look like lmfao. So this is for their fic called Diamond in the Rough and it’s one of the most heart wrenching and detailed fic i’ve read so far. Very informative notes at the end but WARNING it covers a lot of heavy topics and it’s pretty much M-rated.
Anyways, i’m in love with this series and i cannot wait for the next chapter </3
He was a young artist employed by the Disney studio, but tasked with the entry-level job of finishing off the work of the animators and crafting the “in-between” animations that completed the characters’ movements. Wong had learned that studio executives were creating a film from the new novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. Tom says the young artist read the book and without consulting his supervisor, “took the script and painted some visual concepts to set the mood, color and the design.”
His sketches recalled the lush mountain and forest scenes of Sung dynasty landscape paintings. His initiative paid off. Walt Disney, who was looking for something new for the film, was captivated and personally directed that Wong be promoted. Today, top animators and illustrators revere Wong’s work. Children today are as enchanted by the misty, lyrical brushstrokes of Wong’s colorful nature scenes, inspired by his training at Otis College of Art and self-study of Sung Dynasty art
