About me:I have been doing art and animation for well over 30 years now (since I was a child). I currently am a CGI animator by trade not a traditional animator (although as a kid I used to do traditional animation a lot).The kind of resources I find most appealing to me over time are the ones that inspire me. Books intended purely for technique and training of software are definitely requirements for learning and performing up to par with your tools. However, once you master the tools you are still left with the the true essence of what it means to be an artists... taking inspiration and putting it into practice.About, how this book applies to me:We all know there are times whether it be at the start of a project or midway into a project you run into a stumbling block or two creatively. These sometimes can be due to the lack of inspiration all together. Perhaps it's just a lack of inspiration that meets your own self standards of what you come to expect of your caliber of work. Either way, this is why I collect a giant archive of "inspiration" to surround myself with. I never want to be at a lack of reference of inspiration when that time comes. These can be everything from photos, figure/sculptures, paintings, books, movies and music. You name it I have things that I specifically keep to motivate my creative process during these dips.About the Book:I now thankfully have found another such item for my archive. "Elemental Magic" is exactly the kind of gem that will stay on my permanent bookshelf until I am old and gray. It will serve as a practical reference to thinking through new ideas on how fire/wind/smoke/water move around. As well as a book to inspire me to keep creating (ideas incorporating the elements in this case).
