One of the shots I worked on Kaibigan. @ixnicholasxi helped me find the silhouette of the splash and I went on from there. I had so much fun on this one

"Go Indie" is not a great solution to all this fascist shit goin onbecayse indie quite Famously *doesnt pay a living wage or health insurance*

But making something for yourself, building a community and not in hopes itll appear on Cartoon Network... that means something much more.

ever notice how every giant fandom becomes a toxic cesspool full of drama and resentment towards the creator of the work they're all obsessing over, hmm almost like centering your life around a piece of media is not healthy

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Velma holding a stylus pen, crawling on the ground looking for something and saying "My video essays! I can't draw without my video essays!". On the ground are two youtube thumbnails of video essays "Line goes up -the problem with NFTs" by Dan Olson and "ROBLOX_OOF.MP3" by hbomberguy

Ideally I understand Optimus and agree with him that a better and new world cannot start with an execution... but emotionally? Those fuckers need to die

It's because he worked on some scenes in a couple of popular/iconic modern cartoons and those tend to stick around in internet culture. And because he worked on those cartoons, people found his early work back at Disney and Dreamworks

Walks
Walks YouTube video by James Baxter

Damn, yapping about how many animators don't practice their walks the other days and BAM, the legend posts a video on walk cycles.

Learn to animate walks! They are so very important to character acting.

I'm not really that good of a drawer. I just brute force my way to a decent drawing if it means the performance of the animation will be good haha😭

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.

As someone developing a fantasy film set in a world with racism, yes I wanna see *more* fantasy settings WITHOUT racism too.

I think it'd be super interesting seeing how different conflicts play out on other fantastical worlds without planet Earth's stupid, useless, largely made-up baggage.
