Just for you, Vince. Took the original scans and just placed them over the AI colors, set the image to multiply and now they're a little sketchier. Comparison to the final version just because. There's something to be said for the messier look. Don't know if I like it better or not.

I don't know why, but pencil marks add a dimension to a lot of drawings that cleaned up versions lack. I'm weird, but you knew that.
You know, it kind of reminds me of some of Ralph Bakshi's 70s animation, though I've never been able to watch any of his films for more than about 20 minutes.
I didn't make the bakshi connection but you are so right. I am one of the few that doesn't hate his lord of the rings completely. I think for the time it was a good effort and the backgrounds and music are very nice. The actual animation isn't the best though. I tried to watch a bunch of his stuff, but it's just too rough and frankly pretty offensive. Even American Pop doesn't' really really hod up and that was his "commercial " film.
I tried to watch "Coonskin," and one of the others of that era, might have been "Fritz the Cat," and wow. It really WAS just.. pretty awful. I wanted to appreciate what he was doing but those films were just such a hot mess. Didn't see "American Pop."
I had a collection of all his films and honestly fast forwarded through most of them, then got rid of them. I do get what he was doing but it's just... well... terrible to see. I also saw a fit called "tarpon" from the same era... same sort of awful. That one had a tarzan character and some ... witch? I think? who was clinging babies and then turning them into giant solder penises... American Pop I saw in the movies and it was an attempt to do a regular type drama in cartoon form. it almost worked. At the end during the "punk section" they played the song "Night Moves" inexplicably!
