What I saw was a truly "knock-'em-dead" children's book illustration, which
calls on a very different discipline than that required by film or game
animation. For that matter, the illustrations on game boxes ALWAYS look
better than the actual game graphics. So it all depends on what you want to
do with your work in computer graphics--is it a learning tool? A working
tool? An end in itself?
