Feeling a bit better today, so figured I'd start on a little project I've been meaning to get to for a while, which is sharing some wimmelbilder pieces. The word is German, which I understand to mean something like "hidden object pictures," in which the pieces are very large (pixel-wise) and detailed, packed with figures and objects. Where's Wally/Waldo would be a famous example of these.

Now here we have a wondrous team-up between concept artist Bangzheng Du, from Shenzhen, China [ArtStation], and digital animator Dylan K. Greene from... Arizona, hehe. [website]

Of course there's also a rather depressing side-story to this piece, in that most animals bred for human consumption live pretty miserable lives. There's simply no escaping that, altho here we have an interesting little fantasy in which that's not so much the case.

Hope that displays okay. (https://i.imgur.com/bRhJsTD.gifv)___

So many nice details:

the pig bathwater gets piped down as broth
one of the pigs from the bath gets piped down into the oven
the pigs running on belts move the cogs pulling the noodles from the machine

Do you reckon that in the animation, the sweat of the bathing / sparring / aerobic hogs went directly in to the broth? XD

(nobody needing to be slaughtered)

Ye, the sauna is hooked up to a tube that goes down by the butcher table and noodles.

Haha, that's what I was hoping for!

Some of that byproduct they used for broth, and some, they solidified in to 'hog cakes,' chopped up right in front of the consumers, who kept saying "Wow, this is really good pork!"

😉

Just wanted to point out the sign that says strongest (最強) pork bone (豚骨) noodles (麺)

Interesting, thank you!
Maybe-kinda makes sense, given the situation..?
