The animation is absolutely beautiful, some of the techniques and artistic choices are discussed and outlined in the video below.
Inspiration: Love, Death & Robots
Love, Death & Robots is an adult animated anthology television series, the artwork and animation is absolutely stunning and the style varies between each episode. I highly rate this series and would recommend rushing over to Netflix to view this beautiful eye candy.
