Blue Lobster Batman and Robin Shrimp

I found a feature on Google called "Google books".
It's great if you're on the fence about buying a book or not.

Here's what I reading. http://books.google.com/books?id=I5uSR2dAcagC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_slider_thumb#v=onepage&q&f=false

Also I've been listening to this all day

-WARNING, 3D COMPUTER TALK AHEAD, IF YOUR NORMAL THEN THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO TURN BACK-

With that warning out of the way, I always get annoyed when you see some art thing that looks cool but you have no clue how to do it yourself or what it's even called,
Like this one video I saw on youtube, had some kinda special shading going on
like this!

What the crap is that called and how can I do it? Then I ask myself: "Can it even be done in 3d or would I have to get after effects just to do that?"

or like that game Ico. Everything had a kinda realistic look but the main girl in the game looked almost cell-shaded yet still different.

Maybe it was just all the bloom lighting in combination to here full color mainly being white. (Cloths, skin, even the hair is grey)

and don't even get me started on how amazing this looks.


I have no clue how to do cellshading like this...
but thinking to much about what you can't do will keep you further from what you WILL do. I just gotta keep at it and one day I'll be able to do it all! MWAHAHAHAHAHA

Besides, I need to focus on story right now! :)
