5.0 out of 5 stars
Gorgeous work, interesting ideas, new glimpse at the author,
By F Fairley (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Law and Chaos: The Stormbringer Animated Film Projects (Paperback)
This is the second copy of the book I've purchased, as I lost the first one and couldn't bear to be without it.I grew up reading Wendy Pini's ElfQuest graphic novels and eventually stumbled across Law & Chaos completely by accident. Pini details a highly ambitious animated film project she conceived but was never able to bring to fruition. The Law & Chaos book is sadly as close as any of us will ever get, but seeing what she had in mind makes one hunger for a great deal more. The text chronicles how Pini got started as a "comics nerd", through college and her concept for the characters and story of what was meant to be the Stormbringer film. Fans of Pini will appreciate the intimate glimpse of the artist as a young woman, but the artwork alone is enough to make you want to pick it up and see it cover to cover. In a style all her own and with a bold experimental streak, Pini reveals her adventurous (albeit sometimes too far-reaching and impractical) artistic concepts for the film. However impractical, I sometimes find myself musing, "Why hasn't any filmmaker taken this and used it...?" The artwork is darker, more delicate and more refined than ElfQuest fans may be used to, and definitely carries a heavy classical Asian influence. Readers will enjoy sketches, paintings, layouts, and breathtakingly beautiful full-colour spreads. A must-read for aspiring animation artists, filmmakers, and fans of all things Wendy Pini.

A wonderful story that is all Wendy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Law and Chaos: The Stormbringer Animated Film Projects (Paperback)
Wendy Pini, creator of ElfQuest, explains her triumphs and failures of creating a movie based on the Stormbringer series.A must for artists, especially women. It also has artwork any fantasy art fan would love. Though she fails in making the movie, she wins knowledge and explains her mistakes. A very uplifting artist's story.
