Hey, have you guys checked out The Skybox yet? I'm friends with the author on Tumblr and have always loved his art style. Give it a try, it's stellar.

Basically, you have a girl named Shanti, who - through some thrills - ends up befriending Phoebus, a griffin ("Gryphside"), who takes her through the skies to find the Skybox. As the title says, it's presented as a storyboard. So you have one static frame that you scroll through to see something that basically simulates full animation at times. It's midway through a third arc right now and I really recommend it.

We have Sky TV, this has boxes (I don't have it, but I think they connect TVs to the internets), is this in any way related to that (Murdoch, News Incorporated) corporation?

I seriously can't believe how much work goes into this. His expressions are great and everything looks like a Don Bluth cel.

With Rupert Murdoch's reach, who knows what he's involved with. He probably owns stock in GITP.

I like the elegant simplicity of the setting.

It's beautifull but it's kind of ...bleak when you think about the existence these fliers live.
