hope-for-snow: peculiarbraindeer: In 2014, 3D animation introduced a new feature that I think is an underappreciated evolution in animated movie making. Blotchiness. I am serious.

That, and the more natural way of producing freckles makes all these HD closeups so very special! These are unedited (all I did was crop and resize to tumblr post size) caps from Dreamworks’ Rise of the Guardians (2012) and How to Train Your Dragon (2010): I mean LOOK AT THOSE FREAKING REALISTIC DETAILS DREAMWORKS’ BLOTCHINESS GAME ON POINT -- source link
