So when I thought back to when we all first met and we were asked to talk about animations that we enjoyed/inspired us someone (sorry I forget who, all I know is I had to turn my head to the right to see you) mentioned the short animated feature in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. The segment was the "Tale of Three Brothers" which explained The Deathly Hallows -- anyway, let's not get into that or i'll be here all night teaching you every single fact about Harry Potter.

THE POINT

(Finally, we arrive) 

I found concept art for the three brothers, it was animated in 3D but I always appreciate a good bit of concept art, don't you?
