He/him. One of those animators that won't shut up about Blender if you get him started.

Any articles placing blame on folks being unable to afford a home on anything other than predatory behavior by investors are lies. You absolutely can't avocado toast your way out of this.

Anyway I'm out of work and I'm aiming to soft-launch a Patreon next week so I'm definitely not feeling any despair whatsoever right now.

If a glowing review from one of the key artists behind one a show with one of the biggest followings of the decade leads to NO engagement whatsoever, what is the point? The highest praise you can give twitter is that it's an awful site, but it drives engagement so it's a cruel necessity...

I'm an irony-poisoned elder millennial who grew up thinking haughty gen X apathy was the coolest thing in the world, for me to complain about the reception of my art all but causes my physical pain. But the reality of that situation gut-checks like a mathematical impossibility.

A little over a week ago I posted a music video I made to twitter. It was retweeted by surasshu, 1/2 of the duo who wrote the music for Steven Universe, who has over 25,000 followers and gave it absolutely glowing praise. That video is sitting at less than 300 views right now.

Bluesky needs to look less like twitter because I keep accidentally posting over there and those audiences don't mix-and-match

reading about clutch cargo and how they used live action mouths for limited animation, and reading the confidence in this statement instantly reminded me of how tech bros are so confident in AI replacing animation

I think fallout 4 reconned it that half the reason the resource wars got so bad is because America got obsessed with over-engineering everything, which is a shockingly graceful solution to a few different world nitpicks.

I've been playing around more and more with when I do and don't want to use 3D with my stuff. Been having a lot of fun trying to get a superflat/UPA kind of look while still reaping some of those 3D benefits.

I'm an animator, which makes it harder to spread myself around on bluesky, since video support is pretty limited. Any help is always appreciated, so thank you very much!

It's so frustrating because managing platform-wide video is actually very difficult and very expensive for a lot of completely fair reasons, but I'm an animator so I really really need it

re-watching this, & it applies SO well to AI shit too "both the claimed functionality and the actual functionality are bad. [...] the idea of it becoming the norm is terrible, but the prospect of what the world would look like if all the mythologizing and over-promising came true also super sucks."

The biggest turning point in you life as an artist is when you shift gears from thinking “I can draw these things but not those things” to thinking “I can draw anything! Quality not guaranteed, but I can draw it”

I think sometimes it's just out of habit, it can be hard to actually shed an idea that's been so thoroughly beaten into you, and sometimes it's someone who's had a false order used to control them trying to find one that they can yield against others so they can enjoy a bit of power.

I've said this a bunch of other places at this point, but I really think what we're seeing in a lot of cases of this is someone escaping a binary and ten IMMEDIATELY trying to enforce a new one.

Hi, to be clear: cis straight men CAN be totally normal and empathetic about lesbians and trans people without "secretly" being closeted or an egg or whatever the hell. The hyper parasocial way some folks go "oh estrogen would fix him" or ascribe identities to actually real people is kinda weird!!
