Yesterday as I went looking for reference for the comic project I started looking through my book collection. I have a nasty habit of buying books and then never reading them or reading them and forgetting I ever bought them.

And what do I find? Disney's Treasure Planet. The making of the movie. I have some great stills of John Silver's cyborg set up. It's not quite right for Matrix. I want his arm to look more like Al from Full Metal Alchemist, but its nice to have.

I also have the Art of Robots! I hated the plot of that movie. It needed so much work. But you can't have a better example of steampunk robots then in that movie. Great stuff for me to work with when designing Ether.

I also found Computer Animation: A Whole New World. Why do I bring that up? It has an entire chapter about Mainframe Inc. and ReBoot with stills from many season 1 and 2. It's been out of print for a while but if you really want it you could track down a used copy.

Now if only I Blockbuster would get in a copy of Atlantis: The Lost Empire
