I loved it! If this counts as a "Shrek" movie it's by far my favorite Shrek movie. Beautiful visuals, moving story, out-of-the-box editing and genre homage, and no short-lifespan topical humor. I was so happy that by the end of the movie there had been no keyboard cat references, despite multiple music-at-the-saloon moments where someone could have crammed it in.
Gorgeous across the board. Whoever did Humpty Dumpty's gold spandex suit shader should pat themselves on the back.
Yes Oscar, our shading guys are impressive, I'm actually kind of shocked at how well these things come together after years of craziness. And luca, I didn't do any matte paintings that appear in the show. I am proud to have scenes I painted closely recreated in the digital set for the show.
I was disappointed in the Shrek series after #1 and was reluctant to see this. Great stuff, your work was the reason I went out, I was thoroughly impressed. Would pay to see it again. Great story, humour and visuals. I have been recommending it around work.
I loved Puss-in-boots and was really impressed by the quality of the humor and the solid story. It's definitely one of the few films I'm going to watch a few times, purchase, then watch more. Great work as always!
I do concept art, color and lighting design for animation and entertainment projects, notable clients include DreamWorks, Blue Sky and Disney. It's a great job but everything is painted digitally so I spend my own time painting with traditional mediums. These paintings and sketches are the emphasis my blog, I'll also be posting my digital work where possible as well as classroom demonstrations for the benefit of my art students.

brilliant like always:) and love the framing of the cha against the moon.
I'm always amazed at how well you render these images in Photoshop to look like CG animation.
